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

Electron Microscopy Sciences MacroTubes™ with Snap-Caps, Green
The 5 ml MacroTubes thave all conveniences of standard 1.5 ml tubes but are scaled up for larger volumes. The attached cap provides a tight, leak proof seal from -86 deg C to +80 deg C and can be opened or closed with one hand. The tubes are made of maximum clarity, low-binding virgin polypropylene and are certified RNase and DNase free.
Tubes are sized to be compatible with all Benchmark (USA) and standard German-designed equipment. The 16 mm tube diameter is identical to the diameter of 15 ml tubes, ensuring compatibility.
The potential contamination of pipettor shafts is greatly reduced because the 56 mm total tube length (vs. 120 mm for 15 ml tubes) is short enough for standard 1 ml or 5 ml tips to reach the tube's conical bottom. Feature dual graduations at every 0.2 ml and 0.5 ml.

Andwin Scientific TUBE GRAD NAT 0.5ML 1K/PK
The disposable 0.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes are autoclavable, nonsterile, and graduated tubes that ensure easy and convenient sample measurement. This product also have flat caps and frosted areas on the sides that allows users easy sample identification and labeling. The caps can be opened with no difficulty, but will remain tightly closed during the process of centrifuging. Syringes can also penetrate the caps. This product is sold in a pack of 1000 natural-colored tubes.
Electron Microscopy Sciences SureSeal S™ Microtubes, Cap and Stop-Pop Clips 1.5ml, Red
Our SureSeal S microcentrifuge tubes are designed for a broad range of research applications, including enzyme digests, DNA isolation/purification, centrifugation, incubation and general sample/reagent storage. With a variety of design advances, SureSeal S tubes improve sample visualization, safety, stability and overall ease of use.
They are manufactured under clean room conditions, using only BioClear co-polymer, an advanced polypropylene that maximizes clarity. RNase, DNase and pyrogen free.

Active Motif Sonication Tubes / Caps, 1.5 ml polystyrene
Because polystyrene transfers sonic wave energy much more efficiently than polypropylene, Active Motif highly recommends that its Polystyrene Sonication Tubes be used with the Q8000R Sonicator. Use of polypropylene tubes in indirect sonication has been shown to reduce the extent to which the chromatin is sheared.

Thomas Scientific Macrotubes, 5mL, Nonsterile, Red
MTC Bio’s 5mL MacroTube™ family takes all of the conveniences of 1.5mL tubes and scales them up for larger volumes and throughput applications. In many cases, they replace 15mL tubes, dramatically reducing plastic waste, storage space and shipping costs. Additionally, the 56mm length (vs. 120mm for 15mL tubes) greatly reduces the risk of contamination of pipettor shafts, allowing 1mL or 5mL tips to easily reach the tube bottom. The tubes are made of high clarity, low-binding, virgin polypropylene and are certified RNase and DNase free. The 16mm diameter is identical to standard 15mL tubes, ensuring compatibility with existing centrifuge rotors. Other equipment, specially designed for 5mL tubes, is available from Benchmark™ (USA) and German-based equipment manufacturers (eg. dry blocks, tube racks, and thermal shakers/vortexers). Snap Cap Tubes come with an attached cap that provides a tight, leak-proof seal, and can be effortl
