50 mL PP Centrifuge Tubes
Our 15mL, 30mL, and 50mL centrifuge tubes are made of premium polypropylene for clarity and centrifugal strength. Tubes and caps may be frozen at temperatures as low as -86C. The maximum centrifugal force is 12,000xg for the 15mL tubes, 7,000xg for the 30mL tubes, and 15,000xg for the 50mL tubes*. Caps have a flat top surface for easy marking and labeling. C2605 and C2630 feature a ‘skirted’ bottom that allows the tubes to stand upright without a separate test tube rack. The C2600 series of centrifuge tubes, self-standing or not, are leakproof to 95 kPa/14psi.
*Refers to liquids with a specific gravity of 1.0, using appropriate rotors, cushions, and adapters.
- Sterile, RNase, DNase, pyrogen, and cytotoxin free
- Available racked, NEW! Eco-Racked or bagged
- Compatible with standard rotors
- Frosted marking surface

10 mL Centrifuge Tubes
- Closes gap between 5 mL & 15 mL tubes - Save on shipping charges and storage space
- Printed graduations - From 1.5 mL to 10 mL (0.5 mL increments)
- Reduced height (compared to 15 mL) - Minimizes shipping, storage, and waste
- Compatible with MTC C4015 Adapter - For cell straining and easy filling
- Sterilized bags of 50 tubes - RNase, DNase, & Pyrogen free
Whenever 15 mL is too much and 5 mL is not enough, MTC's new 10 mL screw cap conical centrifuge tube is the perfect compromise.
In addition to the obvious reduction in freight costs, storage space and plastic waste, the reduced height makes 100% sample recovery possible. This also reduces the cross-contamination risks associated with accidental contact between the pipette and the inner wall of 15mL tubes.
These new tubes are generally compatible with 15 mL centrifuge rotors, racks, block heaters, etc. MTC Bio 10 mL centrifuge tubes can withstand up to 12,000 xg maximum RCF* and are supplied sterile, certified RNase, DNase and pyrogen free. Packed in bags of 50 tubes with screw caps attached.
*Refers to liquids with a specific gravity of 1.0, using appropriate rotors, cushions and adapters.

30 mL PP Centrifuge Tubes
Our 15mL, 30mL, and 50mL centrifuge tubes are made of premium polypropylene for clarity and centrifugal strength. Tubes and caps may be frozen at temperatures as low as -86C. The maximum centrifugal force is 12,000xg for the 15mL tubes, 7,000xg for the 30mL tubes, and 15,000xg for the 50mL tubes*. Caps have a flat top surface for easy marking and labeling. C2605 and MID-2630 feature a ‘skirted’ bottom that allows the tubes to stand upright without a separate test tube rack. The C2600 series of centrifuge tubes, self-standing or not, are leakproof to 95 kPa/14psi.
*Refers to liquids with a specific gravity of 1.0, using appropriate rotors, cushions, and adapters.
- Sterile, RNase, DNase, pyrogen, and cytotoxin free
- Available racked, NEW! 15 and 50 mL Eco-Racked or bagged
- Compatible with standard rotors
- Frosted marking surface
- Fits most 50 mL rotors - Rim eliminates need for adapter
- Printed graduations - From 5mL to 2mL
- Compact low-profile design - Minimizes shipping, storage, and waste
- Gamma sterilized - RNase, DNase, & Pyrogen free
MTC Bio's 25 mL tube is the newest addition to our family of screw cap conical tubes. Closing the obvious gap between 15 mL and 50 mL tubes, they are ideal for any application that requires more than 15 mL and less than 50 mL, including midipreps, general sample prep, centrifugation, mixing and storage.
Aside from the reduction in freight costs, storage space and plastic waste, the 33% reduced height and large diameter design (which is identical to 50 mL tubes) allows for faster re-suspension of pellets and 100% recovery of small samples. Concerns about cross-contamination (a frequent result of accidental contact between the pipette and the inner wall of a 15 mL tube) are eliminated by the hood-friendly, low profile, wide diameter format.
Additionally, the tubes have a 360° support rim, just below the cap. Similar to 1.5 mL tubes, this rim allows the tube to fit into most racks, blocks, shields and rotors without requiring adapters. Made of high clarity polypropylene, MTC Bio 25mL conical tubes can withstand up to 17,000 xg maximum RCF* and are supplied sterile, certified RNase, DNase and pyrogen free and packed in racks or bags of 25 tubes with screw caps attached.

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
