10 mL Glass Centrifuge Tubes
This pack contains six clear glass tubes with a 10 mL nominal capacity. Each tube measures 25 mm in diameter and 51 mm in overall height. They are designed for use with the DC-1500 Colorimeter, LaMotte Turbidity Meters, and SMART 3 Colorimeter. The tubes are non-sterile and not autoclavable.
Thermal and Power Profile
These passive glass tubes generate no heat and draw no power during operation. They produce zero noise in any laboratory environment. Thermal behaviour depends entirely on the sample contents and the external heating or cooling method applied. No active thermal management is required or possible.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous centrifugation or prolonged heating, the glass maintains structural integrity within standard laboratory limits. The tubes are not autoclavable, so repeated high-temperature steam cycles are not supported. Chemical resistance and thermal shock tolerance follow standard glassware expectations for this tube type.

Questions about this item
How do I install these 25 mm test tubes in a DC-1500 Colorimeter, and what step is often missed?
Place each tube into the colorimeter cell holder with the clear glass facing the light path; the step often missed is wiping the outside of the tube with a lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints that alter readings.
What maintenance or replacement will these 10 mL glass tubes need later?
Inspect for chips or etching after each use; replace any tube that shows scratches, cloudiness or a cracked rim because damaged glass changes light transmission in the SMART 3 Colorimeter.
What limit appears first when these non-sterile tubes are used continuously in a LaMotte turbidity meter?
Residue build-up on the 25 mm diameter walls is the first limit; it scatters light and raises turbidity readings, so tubes must be cleaned or swapped before the next 1500 NTU measurement.
