Don’t understand the use of centrifuge tubes? You can choose from pointed bottom, round bottom, or standing

Publish Time: 2025-01-02     Origin: Site

Centrifuge tubes, i.e. tubular sample containers, are commonly used experimental consumables in experiments and are mainly used for centrifugal separation and storage of samples. In the field of biological sciences, every biochemistry and molecular biology laboratory is inseparable from centrifuge tubes.



Pointed bottom, round bottom and standable


Depending on the shape of the bottom, centrifuge tubes are mainly divided into three types: pointed bottom, round bottom, and standable. Each shape has specific application scenarios and can meet the needs of different experiments.


1. Conical centrifuge tube


The conical bottom centrifuge tube is suitable for low-speed centrifugation experiments in desktop centrifuges. Especially when performing horizontal centrifugation, the sediment is more likely to concentrate in the conical bottom area. However, during fixed-angle or high-speed centrifugation, the pointed bottom design may cause local stress, causing the centrifuge tube to rupture. It is generally recommended that the centrifugal force does not exceed 10,000xg.



The pointed bottom design can provide better separation effect when collecting sediment.


2. Round bottom centrifuge tube


Compared with pointed-bottom centrifuge tubes, round-bottom centrifuge tubes have a larger bottom area and can withstand greater centrifugal force. Moreover, during the centrifugation process, the tube body is heated more evenly and the effect is better. Therefore, it is generally suitable for high-speed and even ultracentrifugation experiments. If density gradient collection is required, use round-bottom centrifuge tubes.


3. Standable centrifuge tube



The purpose is similar to that of a pointed bottom centrifuge tube, but the upright design allows the centrifuge tube to stand stably on its own when placed, making it easier to operate and place the experiment.


Aijin centrifuge tube


As a high-quality supplier in the field of experimental consumables, Aijin Biotech has a wide range of centrifuge tube products that can cover various experimental needs and ensure the efficiency and safety of experiments.


1. Multiple specifications to choose from


Aijin centrifuge tubes are available in six specifications: 1.5ml, 2.0ml, 5.0ml, 15ml, 25ml, and 50ml. Among them, the newly launched 5ml centrifuge tube fills the vacancy of 1.5ml and 2.0ml with too small capacity and 15ml with too large capacity, which greatly facilitates bacterial collection and special experimental needs.



2. High-quality imported materials



Aijin centrifuge tubes are made of imported polymer polypropylene (PP) material, comply with USP Class VI standards, have good chemical compatibility and temperature tolerance, and can be used stably in the range of -80℃ to 121℃.


3. Centrifugal endurance



Aijin centrifuge tubes have undergone rigorous testing and can withstand extremely high centrifugal forces. 1.5ml and 2.0ml centrifuge tubes can withstand a maximum of 24000xg, 5ml centrifuge tubes can withstand a maximum of 18000xg, and 15ml, 25ml and 50ml centrifuge tubes can withstand a maximum of 12000xg.


4. Humanized design to improve experimental efficiency


Easy to mark

The tube body is designed with a large white or frosted writing area for easy marking of sample information.


Long-lasting and clear scale

The scales on the tube body are treated with UV light, making them durable and not easy to fall off.

Easy to operate

Both the attached lid and the independent lid can be operated with one hand, making experiments more efficient.



High stability

The thickness of the tube body is uniform, and it is not easy to deform or explode even under high-speed centrifugation, ensuring experimental safety.


Aijin centrifuge tubes have always provided reliable consumable support for laboratories with high quality and diverse choices. At the same time, they also help laboratories improve work efficiency and ensure experimental safety with their humanized design and excellent high centrifugal force tolerance.



Choosing Aijin centrifuge tubes not only means choosing high efficiency and safety, but also means adding a touch of relaxation and brightness to the day-to-day scientific research work, allowing scientific researchers to maintain a happy mood and enjoy every moment of scientific research on the road of exploring the truth.
