Product Description
When precision and durability matter in your lab, Polylab Oak Ridge centrifuge tubes (63501) deliver unmatched performance. Designed for high-speed applications, these tubes are a staple in molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical research. Whether you’re isolating nucleic acids, processing cell cultures, or storing sensitive samples, their leak-proof design and chemical resistance ensure reliable results every time.
Available in 30ml, 50ml, and 100ml sizes, these tubes fit most standard rotors, making them versatile for a range of protocols. The polypropylene construction withstands extreme temperatures (from -80°C to 121°C) and harsh chemicals like phenol and chloroform, so you can trust them for even the most demanding experiments.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of consistency in lab supplies. That’s why we source Polylab Oak Ridge tubes directly from trusted manufacturers, ensuring you receive products that meet rigorous quality standards. Buy Oak Ridge centrifuge tubes online today and experience the difference in your workflow.
Why These Tubes Stand Out
Not all centrifuge tubes are created equal. Here’s what sets Polylab’s Oak Ridge tubes apart:
1. High-Speed Stability – Engineered to withstand forces up to 50,000 x g, these tubes prevent sample leakage or deformation during ultracentrifugation. Perfect for pelleting cells, viruses, or subcellular fractions.
2. Chemical Compatibility – Unlike standard tubes, they resist solvents like ethanol, DMSO, and detergents, making them ideal for organic extractions and protein purification.
3. Clear Graduations – The bold, easy-to-read markings allow precise volume measurements, reducing errors in critical experiments.
4. Autoclavable & Sterilizable – Reusable after sterilization, cutting long-term costs without compromising safety.

Common Applications
These tubes are a workhorse in labs across India. Here’s how researchers and students use them:
Molecular Biology – DNA/RNA isolation, plasmid prep, and PCR cleanup.
Biochemistry – Protein precipitation, enzyme assays, and lipid extraction.
Clinical Diagnostics – Blood serum separation, pathogen detection, and vaccine development.
Environmental Testing – Soil/sediment analysis and heavy metal extraction.
Pro Tip: For long-term storage, fill tubes to no more than 70% capacity to prevent spillage during freezing or centrifugation.
Choosing the Right Size
Selecting the correct volume depends on your sample type and protocol:
30ml Tubes – Best for small-scale extractions or when working with limited sample volumes (e.g., bacterial cultures).
50ml Tubes – The most versatile option, balancing capacity and rotor compatibility for everyday use.
100ml Tubes – Ideal for large-volume processing, such as harvesting cells from bulk media.

Safety and Handling
While Oak Ridge tubes are built for tough conditions, proper handling extends their lifespan:
Do: – Balance tubes symmetrically in the rotor to avoid vibration. – Use screw caps securely to prevent leaks during spins. – Label with solvent-resistant markers for clear identification.
Avoid: – Overfilling beyond the max fill line (risk of tube failure). – Exposing to UV light for prolonged periods (can degrade polypropylene).
How do I dispose of used tubes?
Follow your lab’s biohazard waste protocols. If contaminated with chemicals, rinse with a compatible solvent before disposal per local regulations.

FAQs
Are Oak Ridge centrifuge tubes sterile?
These tubes are non-sterile but can be autoclaved at 121°C for 20 minutes. For sterile applications, consider gamma-irradiated options available at eqipped.
Can I use these tubes for RNA work?
Absolutely. The RNase/DNase-free polypropylene makes them safe for nucleic acid work. For extra precaution, treat tubes with DEPC water before use.
What’s the maximum RCF these tubes can handle?
They’re rated for up to 50,000 x g, but always verify your centrifuge’s max speed. For ultracentrifugation, opt for thicker-walled tubes.
Do these tubes fit in a microcentrifuge?
No, Oak Ridge tubes are designed for large-capacity centrifuges. For microvolumes (1.5ml–2ml), browse eqipped’s microcentrifuge tube collection.
