Eppendorf Tubes, 1.5ml, 50 Pack

Eppendorf tubes are conical microcentrifuge tubes essential for various laboratory applications. These 1.5ml tubes (50 pack) offer superior performance and reliability for storing, freezing, transporting, and centrifuging biological samples, blood draws, activators, and derivatives.

Key Features:

• Leakproof Design: The secure snap-cap ensures a hermetic seal, preventing spills and contamination during transport and centrifugation, even at high speeds. These tubes are suitable for centrifugation up to 30,000 rpm.
• Durable Polypropylene Construction: Made from high-quality, autoclavable polypropylene, these tubes offer excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of substances including diluted acids, alkalis, aldehydes, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, and esters. They withstand temperatures from 0°C to 125°C. Sterilization is possible using steam, chemical agents (ethanol, formalin), and ethylene oxide (20 minutes at 121°C).
• Easy Handling: The one-handed snap-cap simplifies opening and closing, while the frosted writing area allows for clear, permanent labeling.
• High Transparency: The high clarity of the polypropylene allows for easy sample visualization.
• Graduated Marking: Provides convenient volume measurement.

Applications:

These versatile microcentrifuge tubes find widespread use in medical, clinical, microbiological, chemical, and research laboratories. Specific applications include:

• DNA Extraction: Ideal for precipitating concentrated nucleic acid during plasmid DNA extraction via centrifugation (14,000-15,000 rpm).
• Sample Storage: Secure storage of small samples during experiments, thanks to the leakproof cap that protects against accidental spills and contamination.
• Sample Transport: Safe and secure transport of samples due to the hermetic seal.
• PCR Analysis: Frequently utilized in Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analysis.
