Labcon SuperClear® 5 mL Centrifuge Tubes with Attached Caps

• Attached flat snap caps
• Molded graduations
• Writing surface
• Centrifuging to 25,000 x G
• Autoclavable (122°C) and freezable (-80°C)

5 mL SuperClear® snap cap centrifuge tubes are an efficient alternative to 15 mL tubes. Designed to fit the same rotors as our 15 mL centrifuge tubes, you can use these tubes in procedures that require smaller sample volumes.

The interior surfaces are ultra-smooth with low retention characteristics. Lab testing confirms the superior performance of SuperClear® tubes in light transmission compared to other brands. SuperClear® tubes are more than twice as effective at transmitting light than other brands of 5 mL centrifuge tubes.

SuperClear® tubes feature an extra-thick and durable wall that can withstand centrifugation to 25,000 x G, more than twice some other brands. The ultra-clear polypropylene resin gives you a clear view of the pellet as well as correct color rendition. Designed with ergonomic caps and smooth surfaces.

Tubes have flat, pierceable caps and a side writing surface and are packaged In resealable bags.
