Centrifuge Tube 3119-0010: for High-Performance Medical Applications
The Thermo Scientific™ Nalgene™ 3119-0010 is a round-bottom centrifuge tube specifically designed to meet the rigorous requirements of medical and biomedical research laboratories. With a capacity of 10 mL, it combines robustness, reliability and safety during high-speed separations. Its copolymer polypropylene construction provides superior chemical resistance compared to polycarbonate tubes, while maintaining good transparency for visual inspection of the contents. This feature is essential in medical protocols, particularly for cell isolation, biological fluid analysis or phase separation.
Designed for use in refrigerated or non-refrigerated centrifuges, the 3119-0010 tube can withstand a maximum centrifugal force of 50,000 xg. Its uniform, non-tapered structure ensures optimal fit in high-speed rotors, while reducing the risk of imbalance or breakage. This tube is also compatible with polypropylene screw caps, ensuring a reliable seal up to 10,000 xg. For higher speeds or when handling potentially hazardous materials, the use of a sealed closure system is recommended.
The 3119-0010 is autoclavable and resistant to repeated sterilisation cycles, extending its service life. It must be filled to at least 80% of its capacity to ensure optimal performance. Thanks to its design and high-quality materials, this tube is a reliable choice for sensitive medical analyses and demanding protocols. It is an essential piece of equipment for laboratories concerned with quality, safety and experimental reproducibility.
