Centrifuge Tube

Centrifuge tubes are specialized laboratory containers designed to withstand the high centrifugal forces generated during centrifugation processes. These cylindrical tubes come in various sizes and are typically made from materials like plastic or glass, chosen based on their compatibility with specific applications.

Centrifuge tubes feature tight-fitting caps to secure the contents and prevent leakage during high-speed spinning in a centrifuge machine. They are commonly used for separating components of a liquid sample, such as cells, proteins, or DNA, by subjecting the sample to rapid rotational forces. Centrifuge tubes are crucial tools in various scientific disciplines, including molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical diagnostics, allowing for efficient and precise separation of substances in the laboratory.
