Product Recommendation | Confused About Centrifuge Tubes? How to Choose Between Pointed Bottom, Round Bottom, and Stand-Up Types

Publish Date:2026-05-25

Centrifuge tube, that is, tubular sample container, is commonly used in experiments, mainly used for centrifugal separation and storage of samples.


In the field of biological sciences, every biochemical and molecular biology laboratory cannot do without centrifuge tubes.

Pointed bottom, round bottom and self-standing

Centrifuge tubes are mainly divided into three types: sharp bottom, round bottom and vertical,

shapes has a specific application scenario and can meet the needs of different experiments.


01 Conical Bottom Centrifuge Tube

The sharp-bottom centrifuge tube is suitable for low-speed centrifugation experiments in desktop centrifuges, especially when horizontal centrifugation is performed, the precipitation is more likely to be concentrated in the sharp-bottom area.


However, at a fixed angle or high-speed centrifugation, the pointed bottom design may cause local stress and cause the centrifuge tube to rupture. It is generally recommended not to exceed the centrifugal force of 10000xg.

When collecting sediment, the pointed bottom design can provide better separation effect.


02 Round-bottom Centrifuge Tube

Compared with the sharp bottom centrifuge tube, round bottom centrifuge tube bottom area is larger, it can withstand greater centrifugal force,

And in the centrifugal 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, round bottom centrifuge tubes can be used.


03 Self-standing Centrifuge Tube

The use is similar to that of a pointed bottom centrifuge tube, but the vertical design allows the centrifuge tube to be placed,
the can stand stably on its own, which is more convenient for experimental operation and placement.
A-Gen centrifuge tube

As a high-quality supplier in the field of laboratory consumables, has a wide range of centrifuge tubes,
can cover a variety of experimental needs, to ensure the efficiency and safety of the experiment.
01 Multi-specification selection of

A-Gen centrifuge tube provides 1.5mL, 2.0mL, 5.0mL, 15mL, 25mL, 50mL six specifications,
The newly introduced 5mL centrifuge tube fills the vacancies of 1.5mL and 2.0mL with too small capacity and 15mL with too large capacity, which greatly facilitates the collection of bacteria and special experimental requirements.

02 High Quality Imported Material

A-Gen centrifuge tube is made of imported high molecular polypropylene (PP) material, in line with the USP Class VI standard,
has good chemical compatibility and temperature resistance, and can be used stably in the range of -80 ℃ to 121 ℃.

03 Centrifugal Endurance Of

A-Gen centrifuge tubes have been rigorously tested to withstand extremely high centrifugal forces. 1.5mL, 2.0mL centrifuge tube can withstand the maximum 24000xg,
5mL centrifuge tube can withstand the maximum 18000xg,15mL, 25mL, 50mL centrifuge tube can withstand the maximum 12000xg.


04 Humanized Design, Improve Experimental Efficiency

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

Scale lasting clear  the tube body scale is irradiated by UV lamp, which is durable and not easy to fall off.
Convenient even cover and independent cover can be operated with one hand, the experiment is more efficient.

High stability of The thickness of the tube body is uniform, and it is not easy to deform or explode even under high-speed centrifugation, ensuring the safety of the experiment.
A-Gen  centrifuge tubes have always provided reliable consumables support for laboratories with high quality and diversified choices,
at the same time, also helps the laboratory to improve work efficiency and ensure the safety of the experiment by virtue of humanized design and excellent high centrifugal force tolerance.

choosing A-Gen centrifuge tube not only means choosing high efficiency and safety, but also means adding a touch of light color to the scientific research work day after day,
allows researchers to maintain a pleasant state of mind and enjoy every moment of scientific research on the road of exploring the truth.
