PTFE Centrifuge Tube 50ml High-purity Plastic Centrifuge Tube Suitable for Various Centrifuges

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) centrifuge tubes are commonly used in laboratories where chemical resistance and nonstick properties are essential. PTFE is a fluoropolymer known for its exceptional chemical resistance and high temperature stability. Here are a few instances where PTFE centrifuge tubes may be utilized:

Chemical Analysis and Research Labs: PTFE tubes are often employed in laboratories performing chemical analysis or research involving aggressive chemicals or corrosive substances. Due to its resistance to a wide range of chemicals, PTFE tubes can safely accommodate samples that may react with other materials.

Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Labs: In biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, PTFE centrifuge tubes may be utilized for applications involving organic solvents, strong acids, or bases. These tubes can withstand harsh chemical environments, making them suitable for processes like purification, extraction, or separation of sensitive biomolecules.

Environmental Testing Labs: PTFE tubes find applications in environmental testing labs where samples containing pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous substances are handled. The nonstick properties of PTFE prevent adherence of samples to the tube walls, enabling efficient transfer and retrieval of substances during centrifugation.

High-Temperature Applications: PTFE tubes are capable of withstanding high temperatures, typically up to 250°C (482°F) or more. Laboratories working with heat-sensitive samples or procedures that require elevated temperatures may opt for PTFE centrifuge tubes to ensure the integrity of the samples and the tubes themselves.

Analytical Chemistry Labs: PTFE tubes can be useful in analytical chemistry labs where low levels of contamination or sample loss are critical. Their nonstick nature minimizes the potential for sample loss or carryover, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
