Borosilicate glass centrifuge tube 1680/02M

Pyrex® Centrifuge Tube, conical base, with rim • Manufactured from borosilicate glass 3.3 • Conical shape with rim • Can be centrifuged up to 3000 RCF values • Caution: Always examine centrifuge tubes before use. Do not use if scratched, chipped or abraded. One of the most important basic process engineering methods is the separation of mixtures of substances. This working method includes centrifugation, which exploits the concept of mass inertia. A mixture of substances to be separated is filled into centrifuge tubes, placed in a centrifuge and rotated. Due to the high rotation speed, heavier particles are pushed outwards faster and further away than the lighter ones. This results in separation based on the mass or density of the individual material components.
