RCR 5000G 500ml centrifuge bottle
Product Description
A high-speed centrifuge bottle is a specialized container designed to hold samples during high-speed centrifugation processes. These bottles are typically used in laboratories for separating components in a mixture based on their density by spinning them at high speeds. Here are some key features and characteristics:
1. Material: They are usually made of strong, chemical-resistant materials like polycarbonate, polypropylene, or polyethylene, which can withstand the high forces generated during centrifugation without breaking or deforming.
2. Design: The bottles are designed to be thick-walled and often have screw-on caps to securely seal the contents, preventing leaks and ensuring safety during the process.
3. Capacity: They come in various sizes, ranging from a few milliliters to several liters, depending on the application and the centrifuge's capacity.
4. Use Case: These bottles are commonly used in applications such as purifying cells, isolating DNA or RNA, separating blood components, and more.
5. Speed Rating: They are rated for specific centrifugation speeds (measured in RPM or RCF), which they must not exceed to prevent damage to the bottle or the centrifuge.
