Frequently asked questions
Are these tubes suitable for high-speed centrifugation?
These tubes are engineered for robust performance and are rated for a Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) of up to 1,500xG. They are ideal for standard laboratory procedures and routine separation tasks.
What is the primary material used for these tubes?
The tubes are manufactured from high-quality clear polystyrene. This material is chosen for two primary benefits:
- Exceptional Transparency: Allowing for easy and accurate visual inspection of your samples.
- Durability: Providing a reliable vessel for various laboratory applications.
Is the conical bottom design beneficial for sample processing?
Yes, the conical bottom shape is a critical feature that facilitates:
- Efficient Pellet Formation: Essential during the centrifugation process.
- Easier Sample Collection: Allowing you to retrieve smaller volumes from the base of the tube with greater precision.
Does this product meet professional lab compliance standards?
Yes, these McKesson centrifuge tubes are TAA (Trade Agreement Act) Compliant and GSA Compliant, making them a reliable choice for research facilities, clinical laboratories, and educational institutions.
Can these be used for general sample storage?
Absolutely. While they are designed for centrifugation, the 12 mL volume and clear polystyrene construction make them an excellent, cost-effective choice for general fluid processing and secure sample storage.
Are these tubes supplied with closures?
No, these specific units are supplied without closures. This design is intended to be a cost-effective solution for labs that require large quantities of open vessels for immediate or bulk processing needs.
How are these tubes packaged for the lab?
To support high-volume needs, these tubes are conveniently packed in bulk bags.
- Each bag contains 500 units.
- A full case includes 4 bags, totaling 2,000 tubes.
Are these tubes manufactured to precise dimensions?
Yes, they are engineered to standard laboratory specifications with dimensions of 16 x 100 mm, ensuring they fit consistently into standard centrifuge rotors and laboratory racks.
Are these tubes sterile upon arrival?
No, this specific product configuration is non-sterile. They are best suited for laboratory workflows that do not require sterile-grade consumables or for procedures where sterilization will be performed in-house.
Where are these high-clarity tubes manufactured?
These McKesson centrifuge tubes are manufactured in the Slovak Republic, adhering to high production standards to ensure reliable quality for your laboratory environment.
