Five-O™ 5 mL MacroTubes® - Opaque Black

 

The 5 mL Five-O MacroTubes take all of the conveniences of standard 15 mL conical tubes and scale them down for space efficiency and decreased natural resource consumption. Useful from -86°C to 110°C, these tubes are a valuable resource for boiling and for sample preservation at very low temperatures. Additionally, the 56 mm length (vs. 120 mm for 15 mL tubes, greatly reduces the risk of contamination of pipettor shafts, allowing 1 mL or 5 mL tips to easily reach the bottom.

 

The foam racks are similar to the packaging normally associated with 15 mL tubes (upright with caps attached), but they require about 60% less storage space.

 

  • Opaque Black Tube
  • Compatible with standard equipment
  • Centrifuge at up to 25,000 x g
  • RNase, DNase & pyrogen free
  • Unsurpassed Clarity
  • Dual graduations at every 0.2 mL and 0.5 mL
