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.

Labcon SuperClear® Microcentrifuge Tubes
- Optically clear resin
- High centrifuging to 20,000 x G
- ATP, RNase/DNase and Endotoxin Free (non-pyrogenic)
SuperClear® tubes feature an ultra-clear polypropylene resin that gives you a clear view of the pellet as well as correct color rendition. Designed to be sustainable, these tubes use less plastic than most other tubes and include ergonomic caps with smooth surfaces that help reduce the potential for repetitive strain injury. The cap also includes a special 90° hinge that makes the cap easier to close while on handed pipetting. These tubes are designed to stay closed during boiling to protect your sample.
Available in 0.5 mL, 1.7 mL, and 2.0 mL sizes that fit all stand high capacity rotors. Tubes with snap caps have pierceable caps, a side writing surface and graduations. Autoclavable (122°C) and freezable (-80°C).

Labcon SuperClear® 15 and 50 mL Centrifuge Tubes
- Leak resistant flat camps with elastomeric molded-in sealing
- Patented, extra-large writing panel shows contents in tube clearly, labels easily, and is smear resistant for permanent coding
- Easy to read graduations and reverse scale for accurate measurements
- MAX FREEZE indicates the maximum volume for samples that will be frozen
- Thick, durable, medical grade resin withstands breakage and allows tubes to spin at g-forces up to 233% greater than other tubes
- SuperClear® tubes are recyclable, are offered in reusable/recyclable racks and feature recycling codes
Clarity
Made from an ultra-clear non-cytotoxic medical grade resin
that allows you see sample volume and color easily. These tubes feature highly
visible printed graduations for easy filling and sample preparation.
Durability
Engineered with thick, durable walls for ultra-high-speed
centrifugation. SuperClear® tubes consistently out-perform other brands.
Reliability
Our patented, extra-large writing panel is the largest on
the market and transparent to easily view your sample through your label. This
writing panel is also smear-resistant for permanent coding and won’t wear off
when inserting and removing your tube from the centrifuge rotor.
Security
Leak resistant SuperClear® 15 mL and 50 mL flat caps feature
a molded-in sealing ring that keeps your closed tubes completely secure. These caps are ideal for vortexing
chemicals and long rocker incubations.
Sustainability
Designed for maximum product recyclability and manufactured
in a solar powered facility with unique waste-free molding machines. Tube
graphics and graduations are printed with UV cured inks which significantly reduces
the emissions of harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Offered in reusable
and recyclable racks.

SuperSpin® microcentrifuge tubes were designed with the ability to extract DNA from samples and then amplify that DNA with reliable results in mind. They can be trusted to spin at high rates and can be opened and closed easily many times to add or remove agents. The interior surfaces are ultra-smooth with low retention. The tubes are clear enough to be use in spectrophotometers and have no extractables at the wavelength ranges you use to detect DNA. SuperSpin® microcentrifuge tubes are more than twice as effective at transmitting light than most brands of micro centrifuge tubes.
*Maximum G-force can be affected by organic solvents, multiple spin cycles, or low temperature storage.
