Thermo Scientific Nalgene Oak Ridge High-Speed Polycarbonate Centrifuge Tubes - 85 mL - 38.2 mmD - 105.2 mmL - Non-sterile - 3118-0085

Perform a plethora of applications thanks to the excellent mechanical strength of Thermo Scientific Nalgene Oak Ridge High-Speed Polycarbonate Centrifuge Tubes. These transparent tubes provide easy viewing of contents.

Features:

• Withstand temperatures from -135° to +135°C (-211° to +275°F)
• Round bottom to fit high speed rotors
• Can be used in refrigerated or non-refrigerated centrifuges
• Comes with polypropylene linerless closures—easy to clean and provides leakproof† protection under normal conditions up to 10,000 x g
• When equipped with a Nalgene sealing cap (sold separately), 30mL and 50mL tubes can be spun up to 50,000 x g
• Autoclavable; Repeated autoclaving will reduce the life of PC centrifuge tubes
• For leakproof performance >10,000 x g, use a sealing cap or sealing cap assembly (sold separately).

Ordering Information:
Optional sealing cap assemblies available for 30ml and 50ml sizes. Use Cat. No. DS3132-0020 for 30mL tube and Cat. No. DS3132-0024 for 50mL tube.

Notes:

• Cat. Nos. 3118-0050 and -0085 are designed to fit universal rotors. Actual brim capacity of 3118-0050 is 42mL. Actual brim capacity of 3118-0085 is 81mL.
• Repeated autoclaving will shorten the life of polycarbonate centrifuge tubes.
• Must be filled to at least 80% total capacity for proper performance.
• Consult the Thermo Scientific Centrifugeware Chemical Resistance Table for chemical compatibility ratings.

† The term leakproof applies to Thermo Scientific Nalgene products that meet the following criteria: a) Bottle/flask/funnel closure systems with closures smaller than 100mm, after they are filled with water, inverted, withstand air pressure of 2psig for 2 minutes, and no water escapes;. b) Bottle/funnel/flask closure systems of larger than 100mm after they are filled with water, inverted for 15 minutes, and no water escapes. Note: these tests, using other liquids, may not yield the same results. To ensure safe usage, customers are advised to test Thermo Scientific Nalgene bottles and closures under conditions of their planned applications. Thermo Scientific Nalgene products are leakproof at ambient temperature and pressure when used with their Nalgene closures.
