High-Speed Centrifuge Tube 3139-0016 - Perfect Condition

Centrifuge Tube 3139-0016: Reliable Performance for Demanding Medical Environments

The 3139-0016 model from Thermo Fisher Scientific is part of the Nalgene™ Oak Ridge range, renowned for its robustness and precision. Made from polypropylene copolymer, this tube combines superior chemical resistance and durability with sufficient transparency to allow clear observation of samples. It is designed to withstand centrifugal forces of up to 50,000 xg, making it particularly suitable for medical laboratory applications such as cell separation, DNA isolation, complex extractions or protein purification in sensitive environments.

Its screw-on seal, also made of polypropylene and fitted with a silicone seal, prevents leakage during high-speed cycles or when handling potentially hazardous substances. The tube is fully autoclavable, facilitating the sterilisation protocols required in hospital and clinical research settings. It retains its mechanical properties even after several autoclaving cycles, unlike other materials such as polycarbonate, which can deteriorate more quickly.

The outer diameter of 18.1 mm and a height of 106.4 mm ensure an excellent fit in standard rotors, guaranteeing compatibility with a wide range of centrifuges. Each tube must be filled to at least 80% of its capacity for optimal performance, which is essential to prevent failures or imbalances during centrifugation.

This tube is a reliable choice for healthcare professionals and researchers seeking safety, chemical resistance, high-speed compatibility and durability in their experimental or diagnostic protocols.
