PR1MA™ 5 and 10 mL Transport Tubes

Leak-Proof, 95kPa Compliant, and Sterile.

PR1MA™ Transport Tubes are high-quality, leak-proof tubes designed for the secure transport, storage, and freezing of biological samples. Widely used in clinical, hospital, pharmaceutical, environmental, food testing, and research laboratories, these tubes meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratory workflows and 95kPa transportation compliance—making them suitable for air transport of infectious or high-value specimens.

These 5 mL (16 x 60 mm) and 10 mL (16 x 80 mm) tubes are constructed from high-grade polypropylene and feature vivid white printed graduations and a dedicated marking area for easy sample identification and tracking. All tubes are self-standing for stable benchtop use.

Two reliable sealing options are available:

• Standard Screw-Cap Tubes – Features a leak-proof 1.25-turn screw cap that comes pre-attached for convenience
• O-Ring Screw-Cap Tubes – Engineered with an integrated silicone O-ring that exceeds 95kPa standards, ensuring maximum containment in high-pressure and extreme temperature environments

Both types are available in:

• Sterile (with pre-attached caps)
• Non-sterile (with separately packaged caps)
• RNase, DNase, and pyrogen-free
• 100/bg, 10 bgs/cs for high-throughput laboratory use

Key Features

• Leak-proof screw caps (standard or O-ring options)
• Exceeds 95kPa compliance standards for safe air transport
• Durable, medical-grade polypropylene
• Clear printed graduations and writing area
• Available in 5 mL and 10 mL sizes
• Sterile (pre-attached caps) and non-sterile (caps separately packaged)
• Self-standing design for benchtop stability

PR1MA™ Transport Tubes with Temperature Indicator

Leak-Proof, 95kPa Compliant, Temperature-Indicating Sample Vials.

PR1MA™ Self-Standing Transport Tubes—commonly known as mailing tubes or transport vials—are specifically engineered for the safe storage, transport, and freezing of temperature-sensitive biological samples. Made from virgin polypropylene, these tubes are RNase, DNase, and pyrogen-free, ensuring contamination-free use in medical, clinical, pharmaceutical, and research settings.

Each sterile tube features a 1¼-turn, leak-proof screw cap that is pre-attached for convenience. The tubes are fully 95kPa compliant, making them ideal for the air transport of infectious or high-risk samples.

Now enhanced with Temperature Indicator Technology, each tube includes a
built-in indicator patch that offers a visual cue of the sample’s temperature state:

• Starts turning blue at 4°C
• Turns dark blue at 0°C
• Returns to transparent grey above 4°C

This unique feature helps researchers monitor cold chain integrity and prevents sample degradation due to temperature fluctuation—perfect for transporting vaccines, reagents, or temperature-sensitive specimens.

Key Features

• Temperature Indicator for real-time temperature awareness
• Certified 95kPa compliant for air shipment of biological materials
• Made from high-purity, virgin polypropylene
• Leak-proof, 1¼-turn screw caps (pre-attached)
• White printed graduations and marking area for easy labeling
• Sterile, RNase, DNase, and pyrogen-free
• Self-standing design for benchtop stability
