Polypropylene 10mL Conical Bot... 
10ml Centrifuge Tube – Polypropylene Conical Tube with Screw Cap
This 10ml centrifuge tube closes the gap between 5 mL and 15 mL formats. When 15 mL is too much tube for the job — wasted plastic, wasted storage, wasted shipping — and 5 mL is not enough, the 10 mL size is the perfect compromise. For labs buying 10 ml centrifuge tubes in bulk, these deliver — transparent polypropylene, a conical bottom, printed graduations, a frosted writing patch, and a blue screw cap that seals every spin.
Why Labs Choose These 10mL Conical Tubes
The 10ml conical tube earns its place in labs that count every millilitre. Here is what these deliver:
- 10 mL working volume: The in-between size — right for protocols where 15 mL wastes plastic and 5 mL falls short.
- 12,000 × g centrifugation rating: Spins safely in standard laboratory centrifuges for pelleting, phase separation, and sample prep.
- Fits 15 mL rotors and racks: The slim 16 mm body drops into the 15 mL adapters and racks you already own — no new accessories.
- Conical bottom for clean pellets: The tapered base concentrates the pellet in one spot, so you can pipette off the supernatant without disturbing it.
- Printed graduations: Bold, easy-to-read volume marks for quick, accurate aliquoting without a separate measuring cylinder.
- Frosted writing patch: A dedicated marking area that takes pen, marker, or label — no more mystery tubes in the rack.
- Leak-proof screw cap: The blue screw cap seals positively around the full circumference, so tubes can be stored on their side or shipped without leaks.
Key Safety Advantages
Small tubes still carry precious samples — failure mid-spin hurts just as much. These are built to avoid that:
- Rated, not guessed: The 12,000 × g maximum is a tested rating. Stay within it and the tube will not deform or burst in the rotor.
- Uniform wall thickness: Even walls distribute centrifugal force evenly, eliminating the weak spots that cause blowouts.
- Positive-seal cap: The screw cap will not pop under pressure changes, protecting both the sample and the centrifuge chamber.
- Chemical resistance: Polypropylene stands up to the reagents, buffers, and solvents used in daily protocols.
Cap, Graduation & Writing Patch
Small details decide whether a tube is a pleasure or a pain at the bench:
- Blue screw cap: Easy to grip and open one-handed, colour-coded for quick identification in a busy rack.
- Printed graduation marks: Permanent, high-contrast scale for fast volume checks during aliquoting and reagent prep.
- Frosted writing patch: Takes ballpoint, fine marker, and adhesive labels without smudging.
- Smooth interior: Polished inner walls release pellets cleanly and rinse out easily.

Where Labs Across Saudi Arabia Use Them
From Jeddah hospitals to Jubail industrial labs, the 10 mL tube is the quiet workhorse of mid-volume protocols:
- Molecular biology labs: DNA/RNA prep, PCR setup, and sample archiving at sensible volumes.
- Cell culture facilities: Cell pelleting, washing, and counting without oversized tubes.
- Clinical diagnostics: Serum separation, urine sediment, and sample storage.
- Pharma QC: Reagent prep, stability samples, and analytical workflows.
- University research: KFUPM, KSU, and KAUST labs running daily protocols.
- Food & environmental testing: Sample collection, extraction, and centrifugation.
How to Use
Getting reliable results from a 10ml conical centrifuge tube is straightforward:
- Label first: Write the sample ID on the frosted writing patch before filling — it is much harder once the tube is wet.
- Fill: Pipette up to the 10 mL mark. Leave headspace if the sample will be frozen.
- Cap tightly: Screw the blue cap down firmly until sealed — check the seal before spinning.
- Balance: Load tubes in balanced pairs or use a balance tube with matched weight.
- Spin: Run at or below 12,000 × g in a compatible rotor with correct adapters (15 mL adapters fit).
- Recover: Pipette off the supernatant, leaving the conical pellet undisturbed — or resuspend and store.
Precautions & Safety Protocols
Mid-volume tubes are safe when the basics are respected:
- Never exceed 12,000 × g: Over-speeding deforms the tube and can damage the rotor.
- Use correct adapters: A 10 mL tube in the wrong adapter can crack under load — 15 mL inserts fit this body.
- Check caps before spinning: A loose cap leaks sample into the chamber and unbalances the rotor.
- Single use for critical work: These are disposable; reusing risks cross-contamination between samples.
- Chemical compatibility: PP resists most lab reagents but check compatibility with strong organic solvents before use.

FAQs
- What is a 10ml centrifuge tube used for?
It covers mid-volume protocols — cell pelleting, nucleic acid prep, sample washing, and storage — where 15 mL is wasteful and 5 mL is too small. The conical bottom concentrates pellets for easy recovery. - What does 12,000 × g mean?
It is the maximum relative centrifugal force the tube is rated for — 12,000 times gravity. Always spin at or below this rating in a compatible rotor with the correct adapters. - Are these tubes sterile?
No — these are general-purpose non-sterile tubes for routine lab work. If your protocol needs sterile, RNase-free tubes, contact us about sterile options. - Do 10mL tubes fit 15mL centrifuge rotors?
Yes. The slim 16 mm body is designed to work with 15 mL rotor adapters and racks, so no new accessories are needed. - Can the tubes go in the freezer?
Yes. Polypropylene stays tough at freezer temperatures. Leave headspace when freezing liquids, and make sure the cap is tight. - What is the writing patch for?
The frosted patch is a dedicated labeling area — write sample IDs directly with pen or marker, or apply adhesive labels, without smudging. - How many tubes come in a pack?
100 tubes per bag. Bulk quantities are available — ask for a quote on multi-bag orders.
