50 mL Conical Tubes (Sterile Centrifuge & Cell Culture Tubes)

50 mL conical tubes are essential laboratory consumables widely used for centrifugation, cell culture handling, and sample processing. Commonly referred to as conical centrifuge tubes, they are designed to support both high-speed centrifugation and sterile biological workflows in research, clinical, and industrial laboratories.

Hawach 50 mL conical tubes are manufactured from medical-grade polypropylene (PP), ensuring excellent chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and reliable sealing performance, making them ideal for demanding laboratory environments.

What Are 50 mL Conical Tubes?

50 mL conical tubes are graduated, conical-bottom centrifuge tubes designed for efficient sample separation and handling. The conical shape enables precise pelleting of cells and biological materials during centrifugation, while the sterile design supports safe use in cell culture and molecular biology applications.

They are one of the most commonly used consumables in modern laboratories due to their versatility, convenience, and compatibility with standard centrifuge systems.

Dual Function Design: Centrifugation + Cell Culture Handling

Unlike traditional lab containers, 50 mL conical tubes are designed for multi-step laboratory workflows:

Centrifugation

• Cell pelleting
• Protein precipitation
• Nucleic acid extraction
• Phase separation

Cell Culture Handling

• Suspension cell processing
• Cell washing and resuspension
• Media mixing and preparation
• Temporary sterile storage

This dual functionality reduces container switching, improving workflow efficiency and minimizing contamination risks.

FAQ

What are 50 mL conical tubes used for?

50 mL conical tubes are used for centrifugation, cell culture handling, sample preparation, and biological analysis in laboratories.

Are 50 mL conical tubes suitable for cell culture?

Yes. While not designed for long-term adherent cell growth, they are widely used for suspension cell handling, washing, and short-term sterile processing.

What is the difference between conical tubes and centrifuge bottles?

Conical tubes are designed for small-volume, high-frequency laboratory workflows, while centrifuge bottles are used for large-volume sample processing.
