MTC Bio™ 5 mL MacroTubes*

MTC Bios 5 mL MacroTubes take all the convenience of standard 1.5 mL tubes and scales them up for larger volumes. These polypropylene tubes come with an attached cap that not only provides a tight, leak proof seal, it can also be effortlessly opened (or closed) with one hand. The cap is designed to provide a secure seal from -86 to +80°. At temperatures above 80°C use of a CapLock Clip is recommended (available separately, Cat. No. 971-84059).

The tubes are made of maximum clarity, low-binding virgin polypropylene and are certified RNase and DNase free. Sterile tubes (Cat. No. 971-84047) are also pyrogen free. The 16 mm tube diameter is identical to the diameter of standard 15 mL tubes, which insures compatibility with centrifuge rotors, dry bath blocks, tube racks, and thermal shakers/vortexers. The potential contamination of pipettor shafts is greatly reduced because the 56 mm total tube length (vs. 120 mm for standard 15 mL tubes) is short enough for standard 1 mL or 5 mL tips to reach the tubes conical bottom.
