50 Milliliters Centrifuge Tubes

50mL Centrifuge Tubes provide several laboratory tube options for compatible sample handling, separation, storage, and centrifugation workflows. This listing includes standard 50 mL tubes sold individually or in a 25-pack as well as a fritted-separation version. Select the correct variant carefully because the standard and fritted designs have different internal construction and intended functions.

The standard 50mL Centrifuge Tubes use a conical tube format with screw caps, graduation markings, and space for sample identification. The fritted-separation variant incorporates an internal frit and is intended for procedures that specifically call for that design. Do not assume that specifications applying to one variant automatically apply to every tube in the listing.

Performance of 50mL Centrifuge Tubes depends on the specific tube material, centrifuge rotor, speed, temperature, sample chemistry, fill volume, and balance of opposing tubes. Verify the maximum centrifugal-force rating and chemical compatibility from the applicable product documentation before centrifugation. Never exceed the limits of the tube, cap, rotor, or centrifuge.

Inspect each tube and cap before use and discard components that are cracked, deformed, damaged, or no longer close correctly. Balance centrifuge loads according to the centrifuge manufacturer's instructions. Claims such as sterility, non-pyrogenicity, autoclavability, or biological certification should only be relied upon when documented for the specific selected variant.
