Microtubes
Single-use containers designed to hold microliter to milliliter quantities of liquid. Products may be sterile/non-sterile, come with or without a variety of caps (screw, tether, snap), and may be suitable for use in microcentrifuges.
High quality standard snap cap microtubes, or microcentrifuge tubes, are essential for the safe processing of low to medium sized sample volume applications in clinical chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology. Ideal for protein research, mass spectrometry, protein array, sample preparation, microcentrifugation and sample storage, they are available in a variety of colours, including amber and black for light sensitive samples.
The snap cap provides a safe, liquid-tight seal and some flat top caps include a needle insertion spot. Some microtubes are also available with additional safety lock snap caps to minimise sample loss during the centrifugation process and to provide added security when working with samples that are radioactive or which pose a biohazard.
Snap Cap Microtube properties
Available as sterile or non-sterile, polypropylene microtubes can also feature low binding properties to reduce protein and nucleic acid loss and hence better sample recovery.
- Can withstand forces up to max. RCF 30,000xg
- Are available sterile or non-sterile
- Are available with low binding properties, reducing protein and nucleic acid losses during centrifugations
- Available RNase/DNase, DNA-free and non-pyrogenic
- Typically made from durable autoclavable polypropylene for reusability and often graduated with a writing patch
- Available in a variety of colors, including amber and black for light sensitive samples
- Tube bottom shapes include conical and skirted (self-standing)
Research Products International Corp Micro-Tubes w/ Screw Cap, Brown, 2.0ml, Free Standing, 1000/cs
Dark brown color tubes block light transmission that can adversely affect fluorescent and other light sensitive samples. Polypropylene tubes withstand high speed centrifugation (up to 17,000xg), autoclaving, boiling and freezer storage. Screw cap with ''O'' ring provides superior sealing during sample processing. Tubes and caps are supplied in separate bags.
Ideal for light sensitive samples
Filter UV light
Leak Proof
RNAse, DNAse, DNA & pyrogen free
Research Products International Corp Micrewtube Screw Cap Tube with Loop, Graduated, 1.5ml Conical Bottom, 500 per Case
Micrewtube Tubes feature an O-ring seal screw cap and attachment loop. Loops remain attached to the tubes and prevent cross contamination. Tubes will withstand high speed centrifuging, autoclaving, boiling and freezer storage. Screw cap with O-ring seal provides superior sealing during sample processing. Uniform well thickness withstands 17,000xg forces. Graduated tubes have a printed marking area. Polypropylene tubes are available with screwed-on cap, pre-attached loop, natural color, and are sterile.

Alkali Scientific 5ml Tubes with Screw Caps, STERILE, RNase, DNase & Pyrogen FREE, supplied within foam rack, 10 racks of 50, 500/Case
ASI's new 5mL centrifuge tubes take all the conveniences of standard 1.5mL tubes and scales them up for larger volumes. These polypropylene tubes come with an attached cap that not only provides a tight, leak proof seal, it can also be effortlessly opened (or closed) with one hand.In incubation applications, we recommend that you use cap lock clips for incubation and boiling over 80˚C. When the internal pressure approaches an unsafe level, the cap partially opens, softly, in a controlled manner, releasing excess pressure, but preventing any splashing of contents. The center of cap also has a special thin “membrane” area that is designed for easy puncture and access by a syringe/needle. Once punctured, the opening is useful for venting the internal pressure caused by incubation at moderately high temperatures. The tubes are made of maximum clarity, virgin polypropylene and are certified RNase & DNase free. Sterile tubes are also pyrogen free. They are sized to be compatible
