Labcon MetalFree® Centrifuge Tubes

• Made of 100% medical grade ultra low metal virgin resins
• Certified below one part per billion (<1ppb) for trace metals
• Natural colorant-free flat caps
• Autoclavable (122°C) & Freezable (-80°C)

Labcon’s MetalFree® centrifuge tubes are specifically processed to ensure that common trace metals and elements that can interfere with experiments are below an ICP-MS detection level of one part per billion (<1ppb). These tubes are perfect for storage of samples and for applications requiring the assurance of low background metals.

Metals included in testing are: Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Iron, Copper, Manganese, Aluminum, Silicon, Nickel, Vanadium, Sodium, Phosphorous, Cobalt, Chromium, Potassium, Lithium, Selenium, Cadmium, Mercury, Arsenic, and Lead.

All package versions are sterilized with a validated and approved ISO 11137 method. Racked tubes are packaged in recyclable fiber racks.

Labcon PerformR® 50 mL Skirted Centrifuge Tubes
 
High Performance Centrifugation

• Labcon PerformR® Tubes are developed using our own in-house laboratory and tested in real labs in basic procedures.
• Only 100% Medical Grade polypropylene resins are used in PerformR® Tubes. No recycled plastics or commodity grade resins.
• PerformR® Centrifuge Tubes are autoclavable with a standard 122°C plasticware process for 15 minutes.
• PerformR® tubes are printed using UV fixed inks that won't rub off like screen printed tubes from other suppliers. Graduations are tested for accuracy during every production lot.
• Labcon is the only major supplier in our industry to be registered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
• Spins to 12,500 RCF

These freestanding 50 mL centrifuge tubes are available for use in those applications where a rack is not available. They include a large white solvent resistant writing area and black graduations. Available with either a flat cap or a plug style cap. Freezable (-80°C) and autoclavable (122°C), if caps are loosely attached to the tubes.

ViewPoint™ Thermochromatic Centrifuge Tubes

• Real Time Temperature: Patent Pending real time temperature signaling.
• UV Protection: Prevents damage to biomolecules from UV.
• Temperature Control: Maintain desired temperature throughout experimentation.
• Certified Safe: Tested and certified safe for use in Cell Culture and other critical work.
• Wide Range of Options: Available in sterile and non sterile packaging with three tube styles.
• Medical Grade: USP Class medical grade resins and packaging. Safe for all lab uses.

Real-Time Temperature Signaling
ViewPoint™ tubes transition from clear to blue when exposed to cold temperatures. This multi-step and reversible thermochromic transition offers real-time temperature signaling to indicate fluctuations above and below 4°C. At 5° C and above ViewPoint™ tubes are clear and transparent. At 4°C ViewPoint™ tubes transition to light blue and become slightly opaque. At 0°C ViewPoint™ tubes reach their full progressive transition to dark blue, are completely opaque, and provide protection from Ultraviolet (UV) light.

Patents Pending.

Optimize Incubation Time On Ice
A large number of protocols require chilled cells and/or chilled solvents. In these protocols samples and solutions are chilled for 30 minutes, 3 hours, or overnight. ViewPoint™ signals that a sample is chilled to 0 - 4°C. Efficient chilling reduces incubation time, saving researchers time in a busy workflow.

Real-Time Temperature Signaling Protects Samples
It is critical to reduce the formation of ice crystals when working with aqueous samples. Ice crystals begin to form at 0 – 4°C and damage cells. ViewPoint™ tubes begin transitioning from clear to light blue at 4°C with full dark blue signaling at 0°C. Real-time temperature signaling alerts the researcher to potentially harmful ice crystal formation and enables the maintenance of the desired temperature throughout experimentation.

Protection from Ultraviolet Radiation
When fully dark blue (0°C) ViewPoint™ tubes provide added protection from Ultraviolet (UV) light. Unlike other tinted products, ViewPoint™ tubes become opaque at 0°C and provide protection from UV, eliminating the need for wrapping tubes in aluminum foil to shield sensitive samples from light radiation. Without a bulky aluminum foil wrap, ViewPoint™ tubes fit perfectly into racks and can be clearly labeled on the frosted writing surface.

ViewPoint™ tubes are available in our exclusive IntegraPack® 10 tube packs, reusable polypropylene racks, and non-sterile bulk bags (1.5 mL) All our sterile products use medical grade packaging and are radiation sterilized following a validated ISO 11137 method.

ViewPoint™ tubes are patent pending. The three-color tube labeling graphics are copyright, trademark, and trade dress of Labcon North America.
