Features
• Greater chemical resistance than polycarbonate
• Can be autoclaved repeatedly—last longer than polycarbonate tubes under conditions of repeated autoclaving
• Can be used up to 50,000 x g in refrigerated or non-refrigerated centrifuges; 3139-0050 can be used up to 100,605 x g in the T29-8x50 rotor
• Come with polypropylene sealing caps with silicone gaskets for extra leak protection when spinning >10,000 x g or spinning hazardous materials
• Must be filled to 80% of total capacity when centrifuging
• Autoclavable/Leakproof† when used with supplied Nalgene closure; Repeated autoclaving will reduce the life of PC centrifuge tubes.Ordering Information: Replacement sealing-cap assemblies available for selected sizes. Use DS3131-0020 for 30mL tubes and DS3131-0024 for 50mL tubes. Actual brim capacity of 3139-0050 is 42mL but is designed to fit standard rotor.Recycling Information:Nalgene reusable polypropylene(PP) and polypropylene copolymer (PPCO) centrifuge tubes are designed to last many spins under typical laboratory conditions. Yet, as with all durable products, they need to be retired and replaced eventually. These centrifuge tubes are recyclable in many communities. At end of product life, please wash and recycle your Nalgene PP and PPCO centrifuge tubes if services are available in your community.
