Plastic test tube

Introduction to Plastic test tubes

Plastic test tubes are laboratory consumables used for holding, sampling, storing, and processing liquids during analytical, clinical testing, and centrifugation procedures. Compared to glass, tubes made of polypropylene (PP) plastic help minimize breakage risks and enhance operational safety.

When choosing plastic test tubes, users should consider sterility requirements, bottom design, volume capacity, and compatibility with centrifuges. Hoa Viet currently supplies the 10ml PP plastic test tube line from Aptaca (Italy), including standard and pre-sterilized versions. The product features a self-standing bottom design, leak-proof screw cap, volume graduations, and a labeling area, supporting a maximum centrifugation speed of 6.000 g and autoclavability at +121 °C.

Which plastic test tube brands is Hoa Viet supplying?

What is the maximum centrifugation speed of the Aptaca 10ml plastic test tube?

The Aptaca 10ml PP plastic test tube has a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF max) of 6.000 g, suitable for laboratory sample separation applications.

What are the benefits of the self-standing bottom design in plastic test tubes?

The self-standing bottom allows the test tube to balance upright on the working surface without necessarily needing a rack, making sample loading and tube labeling more convenient for users.
