serum tubes
The angle of the test tubes in a centrifuge helps to ensure that the samples remain at the bottom of the tubes during centrifugation. This minimizes the risk of the samples being mixed together or contaminated by contact with the cap or upper part of the tube. Additionally, the angle allows for more efficient separation of different components within the sample by facilitating the formation of distinct layers.
To achieve separation. What were you putting into the centrifuge? I know in Biochem usually centrifugation is a preparative step performed to isolate a single organelle of a cell. But centrifugation can also be analyical, for instance if you wanted to measure the density of whatever substance is in the tube.
A tapered and specially-engineered test tube specifically for centrifuge work, designed to resist the high G-forces induced by the centrifugal forces. They are mainly used in medical work to centrifuge human blood for test purposes. despite all the potential hazards I have never heard of a centrifuge accident or explosion if used properly with all safety devices employed. there was a tale in a Gotham paper of a centrifuge (Open and uncovered) blowing up with an induced chemical reactionk, certtainly not SOP. a teacher or student had some mild splash burns.
The terms are relative, like high power and low power for motors. It is relative to RPM. All centrifuge speeds are delineated in RPM. revolutions per minute. The type used in medical labs require specialized centrifuge test tubes (tapered and made of pyrex or some special centrifuge-specific glass). These normally run at a set speed but may have limited speed range control with a directional knob. There are really heavy duty centrifuges which are horizontal axis and look almost like UFOs and have a variety of chemical processing applications.
Bigger, fatter test tubes are usually called boiling tubes.
The spins test tubes that holds mixtures of disrupted cells at various speeds is called centrifuge. It is also used as cell fractionation instrument.

The yellow evacuated tubes are for blood cultures.

If the test tubes need to be sterile, you would have to autoclave them.
A group of test tubes are called samples.

85% of 140 test tubes= 85% * 140= 0.85 * 140= 119 test tubes
