50 mL conical tube

£16,000.00

This sterile 50 mL conical centrifuge tube is precision-engineered for high-throughput labs, bioprocessing, and clinical diagnostics. Manufactured from medical-grade polypropylene with leak-proof PE caps, it withstands 16,000×g and -80°C to 121°C for reliable sample prep, storage, and transport.

Competitive Advantage Spotlight
Our tubes deliver 99.9% batch consistency with ISO 13485 certification and USP Class VI compliance at 18% lower cost-per-run than leading brands. Bold graduations, large writing area, and universal rack compatibility cut handling time, while RNase/DNase-free and pyrogen-free guarantees eliminate retest risk for regulated workflows.

Description

1. Product Overview
The 50 mL Conical Tube is a precision-molded, sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube engineered for high-performance liquid handling in laboratory and industrial bioprocessing workflows. Its primary industrial use spans sample preparation, centrifugation, storage, and transport of biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical materials. The key value proposition lies in its superior chemical resistance, leak-proof integrity, and consistent dimensional accuracy, which reduces contamination risk and improves process reproducibility. It is strategically important in the market as a critical consumable that underpins throughput, regulatory compliance, and operational reliability across life sciences, diagnostics, and large-scale biomanufacturing.
