ActionsTest Tubes and Racks
From test tubes and racks to the labels and boxes you’ll use them with. MIDSCI has got your needs covered.
We also have freezer racks and autoclavable racks, stackable storage boxes and freezer boxes, general storage containers and cryogenic storage refrigerators and tanks.
And let’s not forget the labels! Wash-off labels, removable labels, and labels that will never come off (if you need that).
There are so many other quality choices and options for all of these products. MIDSCI has a wide assortment of test tubes, including top-notch centrifuge tubes your research depends on. We carry everything from sterile centrifuge tubes that we promise won’t buckle during spins to specialty centrifuge tubes that are completely blacked out to preserve your light sensitive compounds.

Round Bottom Snap Cap Tubes
No more fumbling with caps for your tubes.
MTC Bio’s new round bottom snap cap culture/centrifuge tubes adopt the conveniences of popular 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes in higher capacities of 5 mL, 7 mL, and 10 mL. Prevent a common source of cross-contamination in the lab by completely eliminating the threat of mismatched caps.
These durable, polypropylene tubes are supplied sterile and are autoclavable. All tubes feature molded graduations and the 5 and 7 mL tubes have frosted marking areas. Tubes are packed in easy-to-open sterile bags of 100.
- Microtube convenience in larger capacities
- Attached caps seal at the rim with a “click”
- Sterile, easy-open bags of 100 tubes
- Molded graduations and frosted marking area
50 mL PP Centrifuge Tubes
Our 15mL, 30mL, and 50mL centrifuge tubes are made of premium polypropylene for clarity and centrifugal strength. Tubes and caps may be frozen at temperatures as low as -86C. The maximum centrifugal force is 12,000xg for the 15mL tubes, 7,000xg for the 30mL tubes, and 15,000xg for the 50mL tubes*. Caps have a flat top surface for easy marking and labeling. C2605 and C2630 feature a ‘skirted’ bottom that allows the tubes to stand upright without a separate test tube rack. The C2600 series of centrifuge tubes, self-standing or not, are leakproof to 95 kPa/14psi.
*Refers to liquids with a specific gravity of 1.0, using appropriate rotors, cushions, and adapters.
- Sterile, RNase, DNase, pyrogen, and cytotoxin free
- Available racked, NEW! Eco-Racked or bagged
- Compatible with standard rotors
- Frosted marking surface

10 mL Centrifuge Tubes
- Closes gap between 5 mL & 15 mL tubes - Save on shipping charges and storage space
- Printed graduations - From 1.5 mL to 10 mL (0.5 mL increments)
- Reduced height (compared to 15 mL) - Minimizes shipping, storage, and waste
- Compatible with MTC C4015 Adapter - For cell straining and easy filling
- Sterilized bags of 50 tubes - RNase, DNase, & Pyrogen free
Whenever 15 mL is too much and 5 mL is not enough, MTC's new 10 mL screw cap conical centrifuge tube is the perfect compromise.
In addition to the obvious reduction in freight costs, storage space and plastic waste, the reduced height makes 100% sample recovery possible. This also reduces the cross-contamination risks associated with accidental contact between the pipette and the inner wall of 15mL tubes.
These new tubes are generally compatible with 15 mL centrifuge rotors, racks, block heaters, etc. MTC Bio 10 mL centrifuge tubes can withstand up to 12,000 xg maximum RCF* and are supplied sterile, certified RNase, DNase and pyrogen free. Packed in bags of 50 tubes with screw caps attached.
*Refers to liquids with a specific gravity of 1.0, using appropriate rotors, cushions and adapters.
