MEDILAB Micro Centrifuge Tubes are high-quality, precision-moulded laboratory tubes designed for the storage, mixing, and centrifugation of small-volume samples. These tubes ensure reliable performance under high-speed centrifugation, making them essential for DNA/RNA extraction, protein work, sample preparation, and molecular biology workflows. Their robust snap caps provide a safe, leakproof seal, allowing secure handling even with temperature changes and organic solvents.

Key Features

• High-Speed Compatible: Designed for microcentrifuges, ensuring stability and crack resistance at high RPM.
• Leakproof Snap Cap: The Integrated hinged cap ensures an airtight seal, preventing spillage during spin cycles.
• Autoclavable: Made of PP autoclavable material suitable for sterile applications.
• Chemical Resistant: Maintains integrity when exposed to common buffers, reagents, and organic solvents.
• Clear Transparency: Allows easy visual monitoring of sample volume and pellet formation.
• Graduated Markings: Accurate volume graduations for quick measurement reference (model dependent).
• Smooth Internal Surface: Minimises sample retention and enhances recovery.
• Secure Fit: Compatible with standard microcentrifuge rotors and racks.
