The C1250 is a 250 mL sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube with screw-cap closure, supplied 5 tubes per bag, 14 bags per case = 70 tubes per case. The 250 mL volume is the workflow sweet-spot for many cell-culture, vaccine-prep, and intermediate-volume sample-processing protocols, large enough to hold a typical primary cell-culture aliquot or a fermentation sub-batch, small enough to fit standard 4-position swing-out rotors at the 250 mL bucket size class.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.

Compatibility & Workflow
250 mL standard centrifuge-tube format for high-volume cell-culture pellet recovery, vaccine pre-concentration, recombinant-protein lysate clarification, and similar mid-to-large-volume workflows.
Compatible rotor formats. 250 mL tubes with this geometry fit the Hermle Z366-250 swing-out (4 × 250 mL), the Z366-06250 angle rotor (6 × 250 mL high-RCF), the Z446-750 swing-out via 250 mL adapter, and select Z496-K configurations with adapters. Confirm tube OD and length against your rotor's spec at order.
Polypropylene chemical resistance. PP tolerates aqueous, aqueous-alcohol, mild-organic-solvent workflows; not appropriate for chlorinated solvents, strong organic acids, or other aggressive chemistries. Confirm against your workflow.
Screw-cap seal. Secure closure for transit, biosafety containment in sealed-bucket configurations, and evaporation prevention during extended spins.
Pack Economics
70 tubes per case at $257 = $3.67 per tube. The 250 mL format is the highest-throughput consumable in many cell-culture and vaccine-prep workflows; institutional cores stock multiple cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size and material is the C1250 centrifuge tube? 250 mL, molded in polypropylene with a screw-cap closure.
How many tubes come in a case? 70 tubes, 5 tubes per bag, 14 bags per case.
What rotors does the C1250 fit? 250 mL formats such as the Z366-250 swing-out (4 × 250 mL), the Z366-06250 angle rotor (6 × 250 mL), the Z446-750 swing-out via 250 mL adapter, and select Z496-K configurations: confirm tube OD and length against your rotor at order.

Ordering & Configuration
C1250 ships as a case of 70 tubes: sterile, individually bagged in 14 bags of 5 tubes each, with screw-caps installed.
Calculated shipping at checkout.
Warranty: Quality guaranteed against manufacturing defect at delivery. Sterility guaranteed at delivery; operator maintains sterility through workflow handling.
C-series volume selection: C1500 (500 mL), C1250 (250 mL, this product), C0225 (225 mL), C0175 (175 mL). Match tube volume to sample volume; the 250 mL format is the dominant choice for mid-volume cell-culture and vaccine workflows.
Classification note: this SKU is classified as "capital" in inventory systems due to default-class fallback; workflow reality is consumable. The product page reflects the consumable workflow accurately.
