Material and application of centrifuge tube
PP disposable centrifuge tube (polypropylene): translucent, good chemical and temperature stability, but will become brittle at low temperature, so it should not be lower than 40C during centrifugation.
PC centrifuge tube (polycarbonate): good transparency, high hardness, high temperature sterilization, but not resistant to strong acids and alkalis and some organic solvents such as alcohol. Mainly used for ultra-high-speed centrifugation with a speed above 50000 rpm.
PE centrifuge tube (polyethylene): opaque, does not react with acetone, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, etc., is more stable, and is easy to soften under high temperature.
PA centrifuge tube: This material is PP and PE polymer, translucent, chemically very stable, but not resistant to high temperature.
PS centrifuge tube (polystyrene): transparent, high hardness, stable to most aqueous solutions, but will be corroded by a variety of organic substances. It is mainly used for low-speed centrifugation and is generally disposable.
Pf centrifuge tube (polyfluorine): translucent, can be used at low temperature, if the experimental environment is -100 °C ~ -140 °C, you can use this material centrifuge tube.
Cab centrifuge tube: transparent, can be used for gradient determination of dilute acid, alkali, salt, alcohol and sucrose.
