Microtubes 5.0 ml from Labcon are made from 100% medical grade ultra-clear polypropylene. The SuperClear tubes have an extra thick and durable wall that can be centrifuged up to 25,000 x G. The ultra-clear polypropylene resin provides a clear view of the sample and accurate colour reproduction. The microtubes are designed with ergonomic snap cap caps, extra smooth inner surfaces and frosted writing surface on the side. The tubes have a thin piercing cap membrane that allows easy access to the sample with a syringe.
SuperClear microtubes are designed to fit the same rotors as 15 ml centrifuge tubes. Therefore, the tubes can be used for procedures that do not require the volume of a 15 ml tube and do not require the security of a screw cap. Using the smaller tube saves large amounts of plastic in the long run.
The tubes are available in six different colours; transparent, yellow, red, red, blue, green, amber. Contact us if you want a specific colour.
