Product Overview
Elevate your laboratory’s centrifugation capabilities with our premium metal buckets Model inserts, meticulously engineered for the secure and efficient handling of 100ml round bottom glass tubes. This essential set of inserts is crafted from high-grade stainless steel, a material specifically chosen for its exceptional strength, superior corrosion resistance against various reagents, and remarkable durability, ensuring a prolonged service life even under continuous use. Each insert is precisely constructed to provide an unwavering, stable housing for your valuable samples, effectively dampening vibrations and guaranteeing consistent performance under high-speed rotational forces. This robust build minimizes the risk of tube breakage and sample spillage, offering an enhanced level of safety and reliability in your experiments. The thoughtful design ensures a perfect, snug fit for standard 100ml round bottom glass tubes, preventing any undesirable movement during operation that could compromise the integrity of your results. Beyond their functional prowess, the inherent non-reactive properties and smooth, polished surface of the stainless steel facilitate effortless cleaning, decontamination, and sterilization, which is paramount for maintaining a sterile and contaminant-free environment for sensitive research. These inserts are an indispensable component for researchers, students, and educators seeking to achieve consistent, reproducible outcomes and extend the lifespan of their centrifuge equipment, representing a critical upgrade for any laboratory committed to precision and safety in its scientific endeavors.
FAQs
1. What types of centrifuges are these inserts compatible with?
These metal inserts are designed for compatibility with most standard benchtop and floor model centrifuges that utilize swinging bucket rotors capable of accommodating 100ml tubes. It is always recommended to check your centrifuge’s rotor specifications for proper fit and balance before use.
2. Can these inserts be used with conical bottom tubes?
No, these specific inserts are precisely designed to securely hold 100ml round bottom glass tubes. Using them with conical bottom tubes may lead to instability, improper balance, and potential damage to samples or equipment during centrifugation.
3. How do these metal inserts compare to plastic alternatives in terms of durability?
Metal inserts, especially those made from stainless steel, offer significantly superior durability and longevity compared to most plastic alternatives. They are more resistant to chemical degradation, physical impact, and can withstand higher temperatures and repeated sterilization cycles without compromising structural integrity.
4. What is the recommended cleaning procedure for these metal inserts?
For optimal hygiene and longevity, clean the inserts with a mild laboratory detergent and distilled water immediately after use. They can be sterilized using autoclaving, dry heat, or appropriate chemical disinfectants. Ensure they are thoroughly rinsed and dried before storage to prevent water spots or corrosion.
5. Are replacement inserts available individually or only as a set?
Currently, these high-quality metal inserts are offered as a complete set of four to ensure consistent performance and balance across your centrifugation runs. For specific requirements, please contact our customer support team for potential future availability of individual units.
