Product news

Kimble Chase has introduced a range of inert, reusable and recyclable, glass centrifuge tubes suited for use with laboratory samples that contain solvents or aggressive chemicals. Kimble Chase disposable centrifuge tubes are made from borosilicate glass in compliance with ASTM Specification E438, Type I, Class A or B, and capable of withstanding a relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 2,980.

Available with threaded closures or snap caps, Kimble Chase disposable centrifuge tubes have capacities ranging from 5 mL to 50 mL, and are supplied shrink-wrapped in modular trays.

Reusable centrifuge tubes are manufactured using KIMAX® borosilicate glass to support many test methods, including those used to determine the solubility of dried milk solids, sedimentation in petroleum and standardization of bacterial vaccines. Centrifuge tubes with capacities ranging from 2 mL to 200 mL are available. When used with rubber adaptor sleeves, Kimble Chase high-strength tubes are capable of being centrifuged up to a 13,100 RCF. Centrifuge tube neck finishes are available in beaded, plain, threaded and pour spout designs. Bottom designs include short-tapered, long-tapered, stem-shaped and round. Graduated markings in white, black or red facilitate sample measurement, and marking spots are available to aid sample identification.

Available with or without closures, Kimble Chase Centrifuge Tubes are autoclavable.

Labware and Lab SuppliesLabware and lab supplies include various forms of glassware, plasticware, reagents and personal protective equipment (PPE) and are used across all scientific laboratories, enabling daily tasks to be performed. Explore a range of flasks and beakers, petri dishes, carboys and storage bottles. Labware such as condensers, desiccators and burettes are also available for more specific tasks. Find the best labware and lab supplies in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.CentrifugesCentrifuges are used to separate particulates suspended in a liquid via the application of a centrifugal force including cells, macromolecules, nanoparticles and precipitates. 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.
