Globe Scientific 10mL Oak Ridge Centrifuge Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 10mL Oak Ridge Style Centrifuge Tube is built for high-speed separations that demand chemical resistance and mechanical strength. Molded from polypropylene (PP), this round-bottom tube ships with an attached screw cap, reducing the risk of misplaced closures during fast-paced protocols. Each tube carries a 10mL nominal capacity.
Oak Ridge geometry pairs a thick wall with a screw-thread seal, supporting demanding centrifugation workflows where standard conical tubes fall short. Polypropylene construction tolerates a broad range of aqueous reagents and many organic solvents, making the tube a practical choice for repeat use across multiple sample types.
Supplied 12 tubes per bag under SKU 6320, this format suits both single-bench operations and larger facilities ordering by the case. LabSupplies.com stocks this Globe Scientific tube for laboratories that need reliable, ready-to-use centrifuge consumables.

Laboratory Applications
Oak Ridge tubes serve protocols that require centrifugation of samples in chemically active media. Researchers use polypropylene tubes of this class for nucleic acid precipitation, protein pellet recovery, and solvent extractions where standard tubes may craze or leak. Round-bottom geometry helps distribute force during spins and aids complete pellet resuspension.
Screw-cap sealing supports applications involving volatile or hazardous reagents, limiting evaporation and aerosol release. Such tubes also fit storage and transport steps that follow separation, since the attached cap keeps closures matched to each vessel. Verify rotor compatibility and speed ratings against your equipment before high-RCF runs.
