Test Tube

Product Details:

Microcentrifuge tubes made of PP (polypropylene) are commonly used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and other research applications. They are designed to withstand centrifugation and are typically available with attached snap caps. These tubes are often RNase, DNase, and pyrogen-free to ensure sample integrity. Here's a more detailed description:Material:

• Made from high-quality, virgin polypropylene. 
• Some tubes are made from bio-based polypropylene derived from waste and residue oils. 

Features:

• Snap Cap: Many microcentrifuge tubes come with an attached snap cap for easy opening and closing, and some have pierceable caps. 
• Graduations: Large molded-in graduations make it easy to identify the volume of the sample. 
• Frosted Surface: The frosted surface allows for easy labeling with a pen or marker. 
• Autoclavable: Can be autoclaved at 121°C (2 bar) for sterilization. 
• Temperature Range: Can withstand very low temperatures, down to -80°C and up to 121°C. 
• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to various organic solvents. 
• RCF: Can withstand high centrifugal forces, often up to 20,000 xg. 
• Color: Available in natural (clear) and amber (for light-sensitive samples). 
• BIO-CERT® PCR QUALITY: Some tubes are certified free of human DNA, RNase, DNase, pyrogens, and PCR inhibitors. 

Applications:

• Ideal for storing, isolating, and centrifuging samples in molecular biology, biochemistry, and other bioanalytical techniques. 
• Suitable for PCR setups and other applications requiring high cleanliness. 
• Used in clinical chemistry and biochemical research. 

Sustainability:

• Some manufacturers offer tubes made from bio-based polypropylene, reducing the carbon footprint compared to traditional fossil fuel-based tubes.
