Centrifuge Tubes
A wide selection of premium centrifuge tubes are just a click away at MIDSCI!
We have the centrifuge tubes you’re looking for.
If you need to keep your light sensitive compounds nice and safe, turn to our Litesafe centrifuge tubes. Unlike amber tinted tubes, these ones are fully opaque and eliminate the hassle of using aluminum foil to protect your samples.
If you’re looking for high-quality, made in the U.S., centrifuge tubes for standard benchtop storage and mixing of liquid, then we highly recommend the conical Tornado Tubes we carry.
And if it’s sterile centrifuge tubes that won’t buckle during spins or crack at -80C that you need, then you’ll want to purchase the TPP premium centrifuge tubes we stock.
Multi-Purpose Test Tubes 12 x 75 mm
Precision-molded from premium-grade plastics and ideal for routine laboratory analysis and procedures. We have applied the lessons learned from over 27 years of manufacturing experience to produce tubes that perform at their highest level. Our tubes are rigorously inspected by our Quality Assurance Department to ensure they surpass our exacting specifications. These tubes are ideal for a wide range of laboratory applications. They are available in several sizes, and from three materials, to meet a variety of needs.
- - All of the tubes are plastic (polystyrene, polypropylene or polypropylene-copolymer), thus preventing the problem of broken glass.
- - Polypropylene is chemically resistant, autoclavable and virtually unbreakable.
- - Polystyrene is clear like glass.
Note that caps are ordered separately. These tubes are not available sterile.
