Centrifuge Tubes

The 5mL Five-O MacroTubes take all of the conveniences of standard 15mL conical tubes and scales them down for space efficiency and decreased natural resource consumption. Useful from -86°C to 110°C, these tubes are a valuable resource for boiling and for sample preservation at very low temperatures. 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 bottom.

The foam racks are similar to the packaging normally associated with 15mL tubes (upright with caps attached), but they require about 60% less storage space.

Forensic MicroSpin

• Forensic MicroSpin is a valuable device for the extraction of DNA from crime scene samples.
• Forensic MicroSpin is specifically manufactured to prevent DNA or RNA contamination of the device prior to use.
• The receiver tube can be capped to protect the sample for storage or freezing

Spec and Instructions:

• The device has a filter unit, and a 2ml graduated micro centrifuge tube with an attached cap.
• The filter unit has an integral perforated bottom that filter acts like a strainer and allows fluids to pass but retains small cloth samples in the filter unit.
• A cloth sample from the crime scene is cut into small pieces and inserted in the filter unit.
• Add appropriate solvents or buffers to the cloth sample in the filter unit that will permit extraction of DNA.
• The filter unit is then placed into the 2ml microcentrifuge receiver tube, and the entire assembly is centrifuged in a microcentrifuge as indicated in the DNA extraction protocol being used by the forensic laboratory.
• Following centrifugation, the filter unit is removed from the filtrate receiver tube, and the cellular debris in the bottom of the tube can be DNA fingerprinted by the forensic technician.
• Maximum centrifugal force is 20,000 x g. Non-Sterile.
• Includes Filter Unit & 2.0ml Receiver Tube

Centrifuge Bottles

• Centrifuge Bottles have a rigid body for low to moderate speed centrifugation of biological and chemical samples
• High quality polycarbonate and polypropylene have excellent chemical resistance
• Centrifuge Bottles are reusable and autoclavable

Polypropylene

• Translucent walls provide visibility of contents
• Bottle must be filled 75% of total capacity for maximum results

PerformR® 175 and 225 mL Centrifuge Tubes

• Available in 175 mL and 225 mL volumes
• Fit standard cushions and rotors of floor model and benchtop centrifuges
• Outside dimensions of the 175 mL tube is 61 x 117 mm
• Outside dimension of the 225 mL tube is 61 x 137 mm

Large centrifuge tubes are perfect for clarifying large volume solutions or concentrating live cells in tissue culture. Made from pure pre-tested medical-grade resins to ensure the integrity of your work. Each lot is tested and certified free of RNase/DNase, Endotoxins, and is non-pyrogenic. Resins are pre-tested, and are free of ATP, Oleamide, DiHEMDA, and Phthalates. These tubes come in unique balanced packages of 2 tubes, so you don’t have to worry about resealing bags or re-sterilizing these tubes. They also include our exclusive caps with an integral elastomeric sealing ring that eliminates leaking. Sterile tubes have been sterilized with a validated medical-grade process using radiation.
 

The Argos Pellet Mixer is a lightweight battery powered hand held homogenizer that can be used with disposable pestles, mixers and micro tubes. Cell tissue and pellets are completely homogenized within seconds by means of a high speed vortexing action. Greatly reduces hand fatigue. Comes complete with 2 "AA" batteries and Pestle/Mixer adapter.

Plug Style Caps for Culture Tubes

• Endotoxin Free (non-pyrogenic)
• Polyethylene USP Class VI resin
• Not autoclavable
• Natural white color

Dual position aspirating cap for culture tubes. Cap includes plug position and open aspirating position.
 

SuperClear™ Culture Tubes and Caps

• Ultra-clear resin
• Colored tubes available
• Medical grade (U.S.P.) packaging
• Thicker walls will not crush

These precision-molded, conical and round bottom tubes are perfect for a multitude of general laboratory uses. Precision crafted of extra clear virgin polypropylene in natural and colors or clear virgin polystyrene. Tube caps are made of low-density polyethylene for a secure seal and are available in a fluted plug style or dual position design that permits sample aspiration.

Polypropylene tubes are autoclavable to 122°C and freezable to -80°C. Polystyrene tubes are not autoclavable but have a nominal temperature range between 90°C and -40°C. Polyethylene caps are not autoclavable but are available pre-sterilized with many of the tube packages.

Polypropylene tubes can be centrifuged to 3000 RCF and polystyrene tubes will withstand 1500 RCF. (RCF; Relative Centrifugal Force, is not equivalent to RPM)
 

Multi-Purpose Test Tubes 12 x 75 mm 
 
Precision-molded from premium-grade plastics and ideal for routine laboratory analysis and procedures. We have applied the lessons learned from over 27 years of manufacturing experience to produce tubes that perform at their highest level. Our tubes are rigorously inspected by our Quality Assurance Department to ensure they surpass our exacting specifications. These tubes are ideal for a wide range of laboratory applications. They are available in several sizes, and from three materials, to meet a variety of needs.

• - All of the tubes are plastic (polystyrene, polypropylene or polypropylene-copolymer), thus preventing the problem of broken glass.
• - Polypropylene is chemically resistant, autoclavable and virtually unbreakable.
• - Polystyrene is clear like glass.

Note that caps are ordered separately. These tubes are not available sterile.
