There are many useful functions of ignition tubes. For certain experiments that deal with protein, the tube allows for heat to denature the proteins sot hat researchers can study proteins in it's inactive form. If the experiment deals with DNA, researchers are able to heat the DNA particles after it has passes a centrifuge so that the DNA backbone is denatured and researchers can study each group that consist within a strand of DNA. Other experiments may include heating sugar or food molecules. Doing this may help separate different materials int eh foods and allow the separation of molecules to occur so that researchers may test the density of each chemical.
