Overfilling the tube can cause spillage when the plug is inserted or can compromise seal
integrity.
•
However, too much air can cause excessive tube deformation, disrupting gradients and
sample bands.

(publication IN-189), included in each box of tubes, for detailed

Quick Seal Tubes
Quick-Seal® tubes must be sealed prior to centrifugation. These tubes are heat sealed and do not
need caps; however, spacers are required on top of the tubes when they are loaded into the rotor
buckets.

a.
Do not leave a large air space—too much air can cause excessive tube deformation.

Some of the tubes listed in
Table 1
and
Table 2
are part of the
g
-Max™ system, which uses a
combination of small bell-top Quick-Seal tubes and floating spacers (also called
g
-Max spacers).
•
This means that you can run the shorter tubes listed in the Tables in the SW 32 Ti and
SW 32.1 T rotors without reduction in
g
force.

For detailed information on the
g
-Max system see publication DS-709.
