Structure of Conventional Centrifuge Tube Rack:
- Stand: Provides overall support.
- Perforated Surface: Contains multiple holes for inserting centrifuge tubes.
- Base: Foundation support for the rack.
Advantages of Adjustable Centrifuge Tube Rack:
- Distance Adjustment: Allows for the adjustment of the distance between the rack and the base to accommodate different heights of centrifuge tubes.
- Multi-height Application: Addresses the issue of placing centrifuge tubes of different heights on a single rack.
- Technical Modification Solution: Involves modifying the base of the centrifuge tube rack, using adjustable arms to fix and move the tubes, enhancing flexibility.
- Rubber Ring Embedding: Filling the periphery of centrifuge tube holes with elastic rubber rings to securely grip the tubes.
- Vacuum Suction Cups: Placing vacuum suction cups at the lower end of the base to increase stability.
Common Materials for Centrifuge Tube Racks:
- Polyethylene (PE), Polycarbonate (PC), Polypropylene (PP): Common materials for centrifuge tube racks, with material selection depending on experimental needs and performance requirements.
Recommended Use of Polypropylene Plastic Centrifuge Tubes:
- Disposable Lab Instrument: Plastic centrifuge tubes are generally designed for one-time laboratory use, and reuse is not recommended.
- Good Performance: Polypropylene (PP) tubes offer good performance and are suitable for routine experiments.
