Laboratory Applications
Laboratories use 15mL centrifuge tubes for separating components from liquid samples, collecting supernatant, and pelleting solids. Molded graduations help technicians measure and track volumes during sample preparation, dilution, and aliquoting workflows.
Polystyrene tubes serve well in storage and transport of prepared samples, reagent staging, and general benchtop handling. Clarity of the material supports visual inspection of contents, making the format practical across clinical, academic, and quality-control environments.
