Corning Launches New Centrifuge Bottle Line

19 May 2013

Product news

Corning introduces a new centrifuge bottle product offering for large volume processing in cell harvesting, pelleting and protein purification. Eight new SKUs are added and customers are able to select material, cap type, and size based on applications.

The polypropylene bottles are translucent and have excellent chemical resistance, while polycarbonate bottles are transparent clear. Two cap styles: high performance silicone O-ring seal caps for high speed applications and standard screw cap for low speed applications. All come in 250 and 500 mL sizes. This new line allows researchers to decrease the number of centrifugation cycles, improve laboratory efficiency and boost productivity.

Features and Benefits
• Available in 250 and 500 mL sizes (1000 mL coming soon)
• Choice of polypropylene or polycarbonate
• Two cap styles: standard and high performance with silicone O-ring (caps are not interchangeable between bottles of different size)
• Specially designed cap with a built-in easy grip feature
• Wide-mouth bottle design for improved liquid handling
• Extra-thick walls for durability
• Leak-proof processing at maximum rated speeds
• Autoclavable at 121°C, 15 psi for 20 minutes (once)

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Centrifuges come in three sizes: microcentrifuges, benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges, depending on the volume and number of samples that require separation. When choosing a centrifuge, consider its maximum separation power indicated by its relative centrifugal force (RCF) value. Low force centrifuges reach a maximum RCF of 8,000 g, high-force centrifuges can reach maximum RCF values of 80,000 g. For extremely high forces, consider ultracentrifuges (up to 800,000 g). Refrigerated and vacuum centrifuges also known as concentrators are available for more specialized applications. A range of volumes are available for centrifuge tubes and microfuge tubes, depending on sample sizes.
