15 mL conical tube

£25,000.00

15 mL Conical Tube delivers sterile, high-clarity polypropylene performance engineered for precision workflows in biotech, diagnostics, and pharmaceutical labs. Designed with leak-proof caps, printed graduations, and a large white writing area, it ensures sample integrity from centrifugation to long-term storage at -80°C.

Competitive Advantage Spotlight

Superior Sample Security: USP Class VI resin + gamma-sterile certification reduces contamination risk vs. standard tubes, while 12,000 RCF rating outperforms commodity alternatives. Operational Efficiency: Universal compatibility with all major rotors and racks eliminates retooling costs, delivering enterprise-level reliability at scale.

Description

1. Product Overview
The 15 mL Conical Tube is a precision-engineered polypropylene laboratory consumable designed for high-performance sample processing in industrial, clinical, and research environments. Its primary industrial use spans centrifugation, storage, and transport of biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical samples under demanding operational conditions. The key value proposition lies in its superior leak resistance, chemical inertness, and certified sterility, ensuring sample integrity and regulatory compliance at scale. It is strategically important in the market because standardized, reliable sample handling directly reduces contamination risk, downtime, and reprocessing costs across high-throughput production and quality control workflows.
