Centrifuge Tube

Blood collection tubes come with additives that serve specific functions in separating blood components for medical testing. Tubes with clot activators accelerate blood clotting, yielding serum samples after centrifugation. Tubes with anticoagulants prevent clotting, resulting in plasma samples. Some tests require anticoagulated whole blood, maintaining blood in a liquid state without clotting. The choice of tube depends on the specific diagnostic tests, as different tests require either serum, plasma, or anticoagulated whole blood to ensure accurate results.

Types of Centrifuge Tubes for Efficient Lab Processes:

The commonly used tubes used in laboratory includes Conical and flat-bottomed tubes.

Conical Tubes: These tubes are a common type of laboratory glassware with a tapered shape, featuring a narrow opening at the top and a wider base at the bottom. Typically made of borosilicate glass for resistance to thermal shock and chemical attack, they are designed for use in centrifuges.

These tubes are essential in laboratory work for separating substances based on density or size. When a sample is centrifuged in a conical tube, denser components settle at the bottom, while lighter ones stay at the top. This separation method is widely used for tasks such as:

• Separating cells or biological samples from a liquid, like isolating red blood cells from plasma in a blood sample.
• Separating solid particles from a liquid, such as sediment from water.
• Purifying or concentrating biological samples, including proteins.
• Temporary or long-term sample storage in the lab.
• Conducting chemical reactions, like mixing solutions or performing filtration.

Flat Base Tube: Flat base tubes are a type of laboratory glassware characterized by their flat or nearly...
