ActionsCentrifuge 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.
ProSeries™ High Performance Centrifuge Tubes
MTC Bio’s new ProSeries™ Centrifuge Tubes offer maximum performance and a wide range of innovative features. ProSeries™ Tubes feature a 20,000 × g RCF rating, an industry-first temperature indicator patch, and Hi-Viz™ Graduations that are recognizable at any viewing angle. Marked at both their maximum nominal capacity, as well as their maximum freeze volume, these tubes have been designed with a focus on environmentalism and waste reduction. Tubes are marked with standardized recycling information and are available in Eco-Plastic fold-flat racks rather than traditional styrofoam racks.
The flat, markable screw caps feature high precision threads that make them easy to open with one hand without compromising the 95kPa rated leak-proof seal.

Forensic MicroSpin
- Forensic MicroSpin is a valuable device for the extraction of DNA from crime scene samples.
- Forensic MicroSpin is specifically manufactured to prevent DNA or RNA contamination of the device prior to use.
- The receiver tube can be capped to protect the sample for storage or freezing
Spec and Instructions:
- The device has a filter unit, and a 2ml graduated micro centrifuge tube with an attached cap.
- The filter unit has an integral perforated bottom that filter acts like a strainer and allows fluids to pass but retains small cloth samples in the filter unit.
- A cloth sample from the crime scene is cut into small pieces and inserted in the filter unit.
- Add appropriate solvents or buffers to the cloth sample in the filter unit that will permit extraction of DNA.
- The filter unit is then placed into the 2ml microcentrifuge receiver tube, and the entire assembly is centrifuged in a microcentrifuge as indicated in the DNA extraction protocol being used by the forensic laboratory.
- Following centrifugation, the filter unit is removed from the filtrate receiver tube, and the cellular debris in the bottom of the tube can be DNA fingerprinted by the forensic technician.
- Maximum centrifugal force is 20,000 x g. Non-Sterile.
- Includes Filter Unit & 2.0ml Receiver Tube
Centrifuge Bottles
- Centrifuge Bottles have a rigid body for low to moderate speed centrifugation of biological and chemical samples
- High quality polycarbonate and polypropylene have excellent chemical resistance
- Centrifuge Bottles are reusable and autoclavable
Polypropylene
- Translucent walls provide visibility of contents
- Bottle must be filled 75% of total capacity for maximum results
Polycarbonate
- Seal cap has extended lip to facilitate removal from rotor, and gripping ridges for easy opening and sealing
- Bottles include molded graduation lines
- Bottles should be filled to 80% of total capacity for maximum results

SuperClear™ Culture Tubes and Caps
- Ultra-clear resin
- Colored tubes available
- Medical grade (U.S.P.) packaging
- Thicker walls will not crush
These precision-molded, conical and round bottom tubes are perfect for a multitude of general laboratory uses. Precision crafted of extra clear virgin polypropylene in natural and colors or clear virgin polystyrene. Tube caps are made of low-density polyethylene for a secure seal and are available in a fluted plug style or dual position design that permits sample aspiration.
Polypropylene tubes are autoclavable to 122°C and freezable to -80°C. Polystyrene tubes are not autoclavable but have a nominal temperature range between 90°C and -40°C. Polyethylene caps are not autoclavable but are available pre-sterilized with many of the tube packages.
Polypropylene tubes can be centrifuged to 3000 RCF and polystyrene tubes will withstand 1500 RCF. (RCF; Relative Centrifugal Force, is not equivalent to RPM)
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.

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
