These plastic centrifuge tubes are made from polypropylene and come in seven sizes from 0.2ml up to 50ml, with a leak-proof lid, a write-on spot and a pack quantity that depends on the size you pick. They are built for sample handling, PCR work and routine bench use, and they hold up to long-term freezing and high centrifuge speeds.
Features and benefits:
- Seven sizes from the smallest micro tube to the 50ml tube: one range covers trace PCR work through to larger sample volumes.
- Polypropylene body: described as chemically resistant, with a uniform wall that is smooth and flat without burrs.
- Leak-proof lid design: the screw caps are longer to help prevent sample leakage.
- Graduations and write-on spot: every size except the smallest carries black scale marks, and the spot lets you label samples directly on the tube.
- Suits low temperature storage: can be used for long-term freezing.
- Stable at high centrifuge speeds: made for repeated spin cycles.
- Supplied in bulk packs: 1000, 500, 100 or 50 tubes depending on the size.
Applications:
- PCR and small volume sample preparation
- DNA and RNA extraction work in the lab
- Storing and freezing samples in schools, research and workshop labs
Note: The smallest tube has no scale; all other sizes are graduated. Check that the tube size and rotor of your centrifuge match, and balance tubes opposite each other before spinning. For laboratory, workshop, school, food, cosmetics and brewing use.

Tube type: Plastic centrifuge tube with snap or screw cap. Package contents: Centrifuge tubes in the pack quantity shown for the chosen size. Q: What size centrifuge tubes are available? A: Seven sizes are sold, from the 0.2ml micro tube up to the 50ml tube. Each size is chosen in the options and has its own pack quantity.. Q: What are microcentrifuge tubes used for? A: The small tubes in this range, up to 2ml, are used for trace samples, for example DNA and RNA extraction and PCR reactions.. Q: Are these centrifuge tubes graduated? A: Yes on every size except the smallest, which carry black graduations and a write-on spot. The 0.2ml tube has no scale.. Q: Can plastic centrifuge tubes be frozen? A: These tubes are described as low temperature resistant and suitable for long-term freezing.. Q: How do I balance a centrifuge with 5 tubes? A: Tubes must sit opposite a tube of equal weight, so five samples need a sixth balance tube filled to the same level. Check your centrifuge manual for rotor limits..
