PROTECT YOUR SAMPLES WITH TubeOne® MICROCENTRIFUGE TUBES
Made from 100% pure virgin polypropylene, Starlab's TubeOne® microcentrifuge tubes are manufactured with state of the art production equipment and contain no processing additives such as slip agents, biocides or antistatic agents. Your samples remain protected from potential bioactive contaminants.
TubeOne® microcentrifuge tubes protect your sample from evaporation, leakage, accidental opening or damage during boiling, freezing or centrifugation. Optically clear without compromising structural integrity, the tubes feature a frosted writing area and graduations at 0.1 ml increments.
Available in sizes 0.5 ml, 1.5 ml and 2.0 ml, all volumes are also available in packs of mixed colours. A sterile option is available for the 1.5 ml tubes.
The 2.0 ml tubes have a rounded base that produces a more visible, easier to re-suspend pellet compared to tubes with conical bases. The tubes are ideal for bacteria and other cell suspensions, and are compatible with most mini-prep kits.
Certified RNase, DNase, DNA and Pyrogen free, TubeOne® are supplied in convenient resealable bags.
The leak test!
Does your microcentrifuge tube maintain a seal while heating?
Although a tube may remain closed, evaporation can occur when a seal is incomplete. TubeOne® passes the test with no leaks!
Method: Water sensitive paper has a special-coated yellow surface that turns blue when exposed to moisture. This indicating paper (A) was placed across the top of TubeOne® (B) and other brands of tube (C to H), all containing 1.0 ml of 50% ethanol. All tubes were incubated at 95 °C for 15 minutes in a dry bath with a tightly closed lid. Tubes C-H showed varying levels of failure.
