Test 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.
Due to extreme circumstances, the products on this page have long lead times.

Gel Crusher™ Spin Column
- Creates uniform gel fragments with no chunks
- Fits in standard microtubes
- Increases DNA yield
- For use in molecular cloning, PCR, restriction digestions, sequencing, and labeling protocols
- Fits 2 mL receiver tubes
MTC Bio’s Gel Crusher™ Spin Columns are designed to replace labor-intensive gel fragmentation steps (crush+soak method, etc.). Commonly used in molecular cloning, PCR, restriction digestions, sequencing, and labeling protocols, these spin columns can be used to fragment gel slices (typically cut with a gel extractor or razor blade) into smaller pieces.
These smaller uniform pieces will produce greater yields and can be easily pipetted using wide bore tips into an NaCl solution. This reduces the time to create a fine slurry for further elution, filtration, incubation, etc. Place the Gel Crusher™ column in the 2 mL microtube and centrifuge the column/tube assembly in a standard benchtop microcentrifuge for 5 minutes at maximum speed (generally approximately 15,000 x g).
The gel will be forced through the 600 uM holes into the 2 mL receiver tube. The crushed fragments will be small enough to be aspirated/dispensed through a pipette tip.
