Ultracentrifugation Tube, Thick-Wall, PA, 11x60mm, 50 pieces

Thick Wall Tubes

Thick wall polyallomer and polycarbonate tubes are designed for use with no caps in fixed-angle and swinging bucket rotors. These tubes can be reused and can be sterilized by autoclaving at 121°C, ethylene oxide gas or cold methods. Cold sterilization is recommended for polycarbonate tubes because the tube life may be reduced by autoclaving. Alcohol should not be used with polycarbonate.

These tubes can be run when partially filled but should be at least half-full. Thick wall polyallomer tubes are translucent and polycarbonate transparent; both are non-wettable. When used in fixed-angle rotors, the maximum fill level is a function of the rotor angle, and the maximum allowable speed will depend on the rotor type and temperature of run.
