5 mL Snap-Cap MacroTubes®

• Compatible with standard equipment
• Easy-open flip top
• Syringe port in cap
• Unsurpassed clarity, virgin polypropylene
• Dual graduations (at every 0.2 mL and 0.5 mL)
• Certified RNase and DNase-free.

5 mL MacroTubes® scale up the conveniences of standard 1.5 mL tubes for larger volumes. These polypropylene tubes come with an attached cap that provides a tight, leak-proof seal and can be opened (or closed) with one hand. The cap is designed to provide a secure seal from -86°C to 80°C.

They have the same diameter as standard 15 mL tubes for compatibility with centrifuge rotors, etc. They have replaced 15 mL tubes in many applications, reducing plastic waste, storage space, and shipping costs. Contamination of pipettor shafts can be eliminated because the tube length is short enough for standard 1 mL and/or 5 mL tips to reach the tube's conical bottom. The syringe port in the cap is useful not only for needle and syringe access but also for venting internal pressure that has built up due to incubation at higher temperatures.

Dimensions: 16.5 x 54 mm (not including rim and cap)
Maximum Centrifugal Force: 25,000 x g (when properly supported in the appropriate rotor)   
 
 

ProSeries™ High Performance Centrifuge Tubes

MTC Bio’s new ProSeries™ Centrifuge Tubes offer maximum performance and a wide range of innovative features. ProSeries™ Tubes feature a 20,000 × g RCF rating, an industry-first temperature indicator patch, and Hi-Viz™ Graduations that are recognizable at any viewing angle. Marked at both their maximum nominal capacity, as well as their maximum freeze volume, these tubes have been designed with a focus on environmentalism and waste reduction. Tubes are marked with standardized recycling information and are available in Eco-Plastic fold-flat racks rather than traditional styrofoam racks.

The flat, markable screw caps feature high precision threads that make them easy to open with one hand without compromising the 95kPa rated leak-proof seal.

Forensic MicroSpin

• Forensic MicroSpin is a valuable device for the extraction of DNA from crime scene samples.
• Forensic MicroSpin is specifically manufactured to prevent DNA or RNA contamination of the device prior to use.
• The receiver tube can be capped to protect the sample for storage or freezing

Spec and Instructions:

• The device has a filter unit, and a 2ml graduated micro centrifuge tube with an attached cap.
• The filter unit has an integral perforated bottom that filter acts like a strainer and allows fluids to pass but retains small cloth samples in the filter unit.
• A cloth sample from the crime scene is cut into small pieces and inserted in the filter unit.
• Add appropriate solvents or buffers to the cloth sample in the filter unit that will permit extraction of DNA.
• The filter unit is then placed into the 2ml microcentrifuge receiver tube, and the entire assembly is centrifuged in a microcentrifuge as indicated in the DNA extraction protocol being used by the forensic laboratory.
• Following centrifugation, the filter unit is removed from the filtrate receiver tube, and the cellular debris in the bottom of the tube can be DNA fingerprinted by the forensic technician.
• Maximum centrifugal force is 20,000 x g. Non-Sterile.
• Includes Filter Unit & 2.0ml Receiver Tube

Centrifuge Bottles

• Centrifuge Bottles have a rigid body for low to moderate speed centrifugation of biological and chemical samples
• High quality polycarbonate and polypropylene have excellent chemical resistance
• Centrifuge Bottles are reusable and autoclavable

Polypropylene

• Translucent walls provide visibility of contents
• Bottle must be filled 75% of total capacity for maximum results

The Argos Pellet Mixer is a lightweight battery powered hand held homogenizer that can be used with disposable pestles, mixers and micro tubes. Cell tissue and pellets are completely homogenized within seconds by means of a high speed vortexing action. Greatly reduces hand fatigue. Comes complete with 2 "AA" batteries and Pestle/Mixer adapter.

Gel Crusher™ Spin Column

Rapid Gel Fragmentation for DNA Recovery.

Gel Crusher™ Spin Columns provide a fast, efficient, and consistent method for gel fragmentation, replacing traditional crush-and-soak or manual gel breaker steps. Designed with 600 uM filtration pores, these columns enable quick and uniform fragmentation of agarose or acrylamide gel slices, saving time and increasing DNA recovery yields.

Ideal for workflows in molecular cloning, PCR cleanup, restriction digests, DNA sequencing, and labeling protocols, the Gel Crusher™ simplifies the preparation of gel fragments for downstream purification and elution steps.

Simply insert the Gel Crusher™ column into a 2 mL microcentrifuge tube, add your pre-cut gel slice (prepared using a gel cutter or razor blade), and centrifuge at max speed (~15,000 x g) for 5 minutes. The gel will be forced through the 600 uM pores, producing small, uniform fragments that can be easily pipetted using wide-bore tips into NaCl or other solutions.

This process creates a fine slurry that enhances elution efficiency and improves access to the target nucleic acids, significantly reducing incubation and processing time.

Key Features

• Efficiently breaks gel slices into uniform fragments
• Eliminates manual crush-and-soak steps
• Increases DNA yield and recovery efficiency
• Fits standard 2 mL microcentrifuge tubes
• Compatible with standard benchtop centrifuges (up to 15,000 x g)
• 600 uM pore size ideal for agarose or acrylamide gels
• Simplifies downstream processes: elution, filtration, incubation
• For use in PCR, cloning, digestion, sequencing, and more 

Reversible Racks

• Choose 60 well (5 x 12) or 96 well (8 x 12) formats
• Reversible racks, accept 0.5 and 1.5 to 2.0 mL microtubes
