Labcon SuperClear® centrifuge tubes are high-quality conical centrifuge tubes that can withstand very high centrifugation. SuperClear® 15ml centrifuge tubes can spin up to 17,000 x G and 50ml centrifuge tubes can spin up to 20,000 x G, which is significantly higher than centrifuge tubes from most well-known brands. All tubes are tested with a much higher g-force than the 17,000 x G and 20,000 G to ensure a very high level of safety in the lab. The lid has a rubber membrane that also ensures the tubes are 100% leak-proof.
The tubes have attached flat lids that also allow for easy labelling. The lid is easily closed by turning it ¾ turn, at which point the centrifuge tube will be evaporation-proof. If the lid is screwed on another ¼ turn, the spin tube will be 100% tight and leak-proof.
The simple and streamlined design makes it possible to screw the lid on or off the centrifuge tube (evaporation-tight) by simply turning ¾ turn. This means that the lid can be screwed on in one movement, which means that the user puts significantly less strain on the wrist than if the lid had to be twisted twice. This helps to avoid strain injuries in the long term.
Labcon’s centrifuge tubes are made of high-quality, non-cytotoxic medical grade polystyrene resin. The centrifuge tubes have easy-to-read graduations in three colours and easy labelling, as they have a large writing field that does not hide the contents of the tube and is patented against smearing.
Labcon SuperClear® centrifuge tubes are developed in Labcon’s own in-house laboratory and tested in external professional laboratories where the tubes are tested for use in most basic centrifugation tasks.
All sterile products from Labcon are packed in medical packaging and radiation sterilised according to a validated ISO 11137 method to a sterility assurance level of 10-6. Validated sterilisation ISO 11137 makes the centrifuge tubes ideal for use in research and medical laboratories.

An environmentally friendly and ACT-labelled product
Labcon Metalfree Centrifuge Tubes are ACT-labelled and produced with a better environment in mind. The centrifuge tubes are manufactured at Labcon’s own production facilities in California, where all products are made from 93% renewable energy and include sustainable materials such as bioplastics and recyclable recycled plastics. Products are packaged in uniquely designed packaging with minimal plastic content and printed with inks without the use of heavy metals.
Labcon has more than 100 ACT-labelled products, validating Labcon’s commitment to a better environment. The ACT label makes it very transparent to see how sustainable the product is, assessed based on environmental impact from production, energy consumption, packaging and viability.
The use of plastic products in laboratories is a necessity for scientific research, but these plastics often have a high environmental impact. Analysis shows that a large part of this impact comes from the manufacturing process. You can greatly improve your lab’s environmental impact by choosing Labcon’s Earth Friendly products that carry the ACT label.
