Nalgene™ 3105-0015 Conical Tube: Visual Performance and Efficiency for Sensitive Medical Applications
The Nalgene™ 3105-0015 conical centrifuge tube from Thermo Fisher Scientific is the tool of choice for healthcare professionals working in environments that require precision and safety. Made of polycarbonate, it offers remarkable clarity for easy visual inspection of samples throughout the centrifugation process. This transparency is particularly useful when recovering cell fractions or identifying interfaces after separation.
Thanks to its conical bottom, the tube concentrates particles in a small area, greatly simplifying the collection of the pellet, particularly in whole cell or biomolecule separation procedures. It fits easily into refrigerated or non-refrigerated centrifuges and can withstand centrifugal forces of up to 6,000 xg, making it suitable for standard medical biology protocols.
The graduations moulded into the wall ensure long-lasting readability without the risk of fading, even after autoclaving cycles. The 3105-0015 tube is autoclavable, allowing it to be reused in environments with high sterility requirements. However, repeated autoclaving may reduce its mechanical life, a feature that should be taken into account in sterilisation protocols.
This model is designed for use with compatible friction-fit closures, sold separately. Due to the nature of polycarbonate, prolonged exposure to certain aggressive organic solvents should be avoided to preserve its integrity.
The Nalgene™ 3105-0015 tube is a suitable solution for hospital and medical research laboratories that require reliability, precision handling and clear visualisation of their samples.
Its robust design also allows for safe handling during sample preparation, centrifugation and recovery. Its compact size is compatible with many standard rotors. Used in haematology, virology and cell culture, it meets the requirements of specialised medical environments.
