Do You Understand The Role Of Centrifuge Tube Caps?

Centrifuge tubes are a common experimental consumable in laboratories, mainly used in conjunction with centrifuges. Generally, centrifuge manufacturers will produce corresponding centrifuge tubes, mainly to ensure the overall safety of the host, rotor and centrifuge tubes.

1. The role of the cover


All plastic centrifuge tubes have caps, and the caps must be tightly closed to prevent liquid leakage.


The role of the cap:


a) When there are radioactive or highly corrosive samples, prevent the samples from leaking;


b) Prevent sample volatilization;


c) Prevent the deformation of the centrifuge tube and support it.

2. Matters needing attention


a) When choosing plastic centrifuge tubes, consider polypropylene PP plastic centrifuge tubes as much as possible. Pay attention to check whether the tube cover is tight and whether it can be tightly covered during the test, so that it can be inverted and leak-proof.


b) When we use the centrifuge tube, do not use one tube for multiple times, pay attention to the volatilization of the sample and the leakage of some radioactive or corrosive samples; during the storage process, it is necessary to seal it well; to prevent the centrifuge tube from being in Deformation occurs during use.
