10 mL Conical Centrifuge Tubes – Precision Laboratory Plasticware
10 mL Conical Centrifuge Tubes provide an ideal intermediate volume option for laboratories requiring a vessel between standard 5 mL microcentrifuge tubes and 15 mL conical tubes. Precision-molded from high-transparency, chemically inert virgin polypropylene (PP), these tubes combine excellent mechanical durability with outstanding optical clarity. Fitted with a secure, leak-tight flat screw cap, high-purity 10 mL conical tubes are extensively utilized across clinical diagnostic labs, medical research centers, university biology departments, and analytical testing facilities in Pakistan.
Key Applications:
-
Clinical Diagnostics & Urinalysis: Widely used as the standard tube size for routine urine centrifugation, sediment examination, and serum separation in medical laboratories.
-
Mid-Volume Sample Centrifugation: Engineered to withstand centrifugal forces up to 10,000–12,000 x g for isolating cellular debris, precipitates, and biological fractions.
-
Reagent & Sample Storage: Serves as a leak-proof container for storing working chemical solutions, biological specimens, buffers, and diagnostic reagents.
-
General Laboratory Volumetric Transfer: Ideal for precise measuring, aliquot distribution, and liquid mixing in routine analytical procedures.
