15 mL Falcon Conical Centrifuge Tubes – High Precision Laboratory Plasticware
15 mL Falcon Centrifuge Tubes are the industry-standard vessel for medium-volume liquid processing, sample storage, and biological separation. Precision-molded from high-transparency virgin polypropylene (PP), these conical-bottom tubes deliver superior mechanical strength and chemical compatibility. Equipped with an ergonomic, leak-tight flat screw cap, high-purity 15 mL Falcon tubes are extensively utilized across diagnostic pathology facilities, medical research institutes, university life science departments, and industrial testing units in Pakistan.
Key Applications:
-
High-Speed Centrifugation & Pelleting: Capable of resisting high RCF ratings (up to 12,000 x g) for efficient cell separation, precipitate isolation, and blood fraction processing.
-
Clinical Sample Processing & PRP: Widely applied in diagnostic pathology and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) protocols for precise blood, urine, and biological fluid separation.
-
Cell Culture & Molecular Biology: Ideal for cell pelleting, sterile media storage, reagent preparation, and nucleic acid isolation.
-
Reagent & Buffer Storage: Serves as a reliable, leak-proof container for long-term storage of chemical solutions, working reagents, and analytical standards.
