Frequently asked questions
Are caps included with these centrifuge tubes?
No, the Simport Centrifuge Tubes are supplied without caps.
Compatible caps, such as the snap-on variety (often available in multiple colors for sample coding), must be purchased separately for sealing and laboratory use.
Are these quality centrifuge tubes supplied factory new?
Yes, these Simport Centrifuge Tubes are supplied in Factory New condition, guaranteeing the highest material integrity and performance standards for your laboratory applications. These high-quality tubes are manufactured by Simport Scientific in Canada.
Are the Simport centrifuge tubes factory new?
Yes, these Simport Centrifuge Tubes are guaranteed to be in Factory New condition.
This ensures high quality and optimal performance for demanding laboratory separation processes. These precision consumables are:
- Manufactured by Simport Scientific, a trusted vendor in laboratory supplies.
- Produced in Canada.
- Available in both Poly styrene and Poly propylene options to suit your specific application needs.
Are these tubes suitable for reliable centrifugation?
Yes, these Simport tubes are specifically designed for standard centrifugation applications in laboratory settings. Their features promote efficient and reliable sample processing:
- Capacity & Design: These are standard 15mL tubes (dimensions 17 x 120) with a conical bottom, which is optimized for concentrating and easily retrieving sample pellets.
- Material Options: The tubes are available in two materials to match diverse experimental needs:
- Polypropylene (PP): Provides superior chemical resistance and high durability.
- Polystyrene (PS): Offers excellent optical clarity for clear visual monitoring of samples.
All tubes are supplied in Factory New condition by Simport Scientific.
Important Note: Caps are not included with the purchase of these tubes and must be acquired separately.
Are these tubes compatible with standard laboratory centrifuges?
Yes, these Simport Centrifuge Tubes are manufactured for compatibility with standard laboratory centrifugation equipment and rotors. They feature a conical bottom design optimized for efficient pellet formation during spinning.
Key specifications ensuring compatibility include:
- Capacity: Standard 15mL volume.
- Dimensions: Precise measurements of 17mm x 120mm, which is the widely accepted standard size for 15mL tubes.
- Material Options: They are available in both Poly styrene and Poly propylene to accommodate different chemical resistance and RCF requirements.
Are these centrifuge tubes conical?
Yes, these Simport Centrifuge Tubes feature a conical bottom design, making them ideal for efficient laboratory separation and maximizing sample recovery. This shape is crucial for concentrating the sample pellet.They are available in two material types, allowing you to select the best option for your specific application:* Polypropylene (PP): Known for its durability and excellent chemical resistance.* Polystyrene (PS): Offers superior clarity for easy visual inspection and general lab use.Both material options conform to the standard 15mL capacity (17 x 120 dimensions).*Crucial reminder: Please note that these tubes are supplied without caps, which must be acquired separately.
Are these centrifuge tubes made in Canada?
Yes, these Simport centrifuge tubes are manufactured in Canada by Simport Scientific. They are supplied as Factory New stock, which guarantees suitability and high quality for demanding laboratory applications.
Does the conical design improve sample recovery?
Yes, the conical design is fundamental to maximizing efficiency during centrifugation and sample recovery.
This specific shape offers two main advantages:
- Maximum Pellet Concentration: The tapered bottom guides the solid or denser material (the pellet) into the smallest possible area at the tube’s tip. This ensures the material is highly visible, dense, and tightly concentrated.
- Enhanced Sample Recovery: By centralizing the pellet in the tip of the 15mL (17 x 120) tube, the conical design makes it significantly easier to aspirate the liquid supernatant without disturbing or losing the valuable concentrated sample.
Are caps included with the Simport Centrifuge Tubes?
No, the Simport Centrifuge Tubes are explicitly supplied without caps in all available configurations (Polystyrene and Polypropylene, standard or bulk).
- These tubes are designed for laboratory use and require separate compatible caps for proper sealing.
- While caps are not included with the tubes, the product images suggest that compatible snap-on caps are available separately, often in multiple colors for easy sample color-coding.
What materials are used for these tubes?
The Simport Centrifuge Tubes are available in two distinct material options, allowing you to choose the best fit for your specific laboratory application:
- Poly styrene: This material is favored for applications requiring excellent optical clarity, making visual inspection and precise observation of samples easier.
- Poly propylene: Known for its superior chemical resistance and durability, polypropylene tubes are ideal for aggressive chemical protocols, high-speed centrifugation, and demanding storage requirements.
All tubes feature a 15mL capacity with dimensions of 17 x 120.
