15mL, 30mL, & 50mL Centrifuge Tubes

Our 15mL, 30mL, and 50mL centrifuge tubes are made of premium polypropylene for clarity and centrifugal strength. Tubes and caps may be frozen at temperatures as low as -86˚C. The maximum centrifugal force is 12,000×g for the 15mL tubes, 7,000xg for the 30mL and 50mL skirted tubes, and 15,000×g for the conical 50mL tubes*. Caps have a flat top surface for easy marking and labeling. C2605 and C2630 feature a ‘skirted’ bottom that allows the tubes to stand upright without a separate test tube rack. The C2600 series of centrifuge tubes, self-standing or not, are leak-proof to 95 kPa/14psi. For users filling tubes in large quantities, non-sterile bulk options with separately packaged caps are available in 15mL (C2601-B) and 50mL (C2603-B) capacities.

*Refers to liquids with a specific gravity of 1.0, using appropriate rotors, cushions, and adapters.

• Sterile, RNase, DNase, pyrogen and cytotoxin free

25mL Centrifuge Tubes

MTC Bio’s 25mL tube is the newest addition to our family of screw cap conical tubes. Closing the obvious gap between 15mL and 50mL tubes, they are ideal for any application that requires more than 15mL and less than 50mL, including midipreps, general sample prep, centrifugation, mixing and storage. Aside from the reduction in freight costs, storage space and plastic waste, the 33% reduced height and large diameter design (which is identical to 50mL tubes) allows for faster re-suspension of pellets and 100% recovery of small samples. Concerns about cross-contamination (a frequent result of accidental contact between the pipette and the inner wall of a 15mL tube) are eliminated by the hood-friendly, low profile, wide diameter format. Additionally, the tubes have a 360° support rim, just below the cap. Similar to 1.5mL tubes, this rim allows the tube to fit into most racks, blocks, shields and rotors without requiring adapters. Made of high clarity polypropylene, MTC Bio 25mL conical tubes can withstand up to 17,000×g maximum RCF* and are supplied sterile, certified RNase, DNase and pyrogen free and packed in racks or bags of 25 tubes with screw caps attached.

*Refers to liquids with a specific gravity of 1.0, using appropriate rotors, cushions and adapters.
