How much do microcentrifuge tubes hold?
Tube Capacity The amount of liquid a microcentrifuge tube can hold is the first feature to consider as part of your selection process. Microcentrifuge tube capacities range from 0.5 to 2.0 mL with the most popular tube volume being 1.5 mL.
What are microcentrifuge tubes?
Microcentrifuge tubes are made from an ultra-clear polypropylene resin that allows for easy viewing of contents and fit most common rotors for near-universal usage. Tubes and caps are autoclavable, and sterile tubes are delivered already sterilized by radiation.
Are microcentrifuge tubes polypropylene?
EasyFit™ microcentrifuge tubes are made from medical grade, class 6 polypropylene and manufactured in a class 8 clean room to produce a crystal clear, transparent tube. They feature an extended lip for easy opening, marked graduations and frosted lid on cap and tube.
Are Eppendorf tubes sterile?
Risk of contamination Tubes are only sterile in closed packaging.
What is the use of a 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes?
Microcentrifuge tubes are routinely used in many aspects of molecular biology. These conical 1.5 mL tubes are ideal for the processing and storage of small volume samples, extracts and reagents.
Do you need to autoclave microcentrifuge tubes?
we autoclave with lids open so that if there is something inside the tubes, they can be autoclaved well. for normal purpose you dont need to autoclave tubes.
How do you sterilize eppendorf tubes?
I sterelized eppendorf tubes for RNA extraction samples by placing them in beaker covered with Aluminum foil and autoclave for 15 minute at 121°C.
How much liquid can an eppendorf tube hold?
The launch of the 5.0 mL Eppendorf Tube offered the solution to a problem customers faced when working in volumes of more than 2.0 mL but up to a maximum of 5.0 mL.
Are microcentrifuge tubes autoclavable?
Yes. The microcentrifuge tubes are manufactured of polypropylene and can be autoclaved at 121°C (2 bar, acc. to DIN 285).
What is a conical tube?
Conical tubes allow for a wider variation in the geometry across the length of the final part, making the method appropriate in more design instances. From: Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology, 2001.
Are there any caps on the microcentrifuge tubes?
Caps can either be screw-on or attached to the microcentrifuge tubes for easy popping on, and even pop-on caps are immune to popping off during intense centrifugation. Available in conical- or flat-bottomed designs.
What kind of resin is a microcentrifuge made out of?
Microcentrifuge tubes are made from an ultra-clear polypropylene resin that allows for easy viewing of contents and fit most common rotors for near-universal usage. Tubes and caps are autoclavable, and sterile tubes are delivered already sterilized by radiation. Caps can either be screw-on or attached to the microcentrifuge tubes for easy
When to use microcentrifuge tubes for rDNA?
Description: For use with rDNA and viscous proteins, these nonstick, graduated, polypropylene tubes may be used between –80 and 122 °C (–122 and 251.6 °F). Description: These microcentrifuge tubes are available without caps. Best for use in fraction collection and whenever storage of samples is not necessary.
