Centrifuge Tubes, 5mL Polypropylene, Amber and Colorless, Eppendorf®

Eppendorf Tubes are the benchmark for simple and safe sample preparation from 0.5 to 2.0mL. For larger volumes, 15mL and 50mL conical tubes are available. With medium sample volumes you may face an issue: they need to be processed with large conical screw cap tubes - impractical, inconvenient and often prone to contamination. The availability of snap cap and screw cap formats enable the optimal choice for different requirements in sample preparation, incubation, storage, or other applications.

Substances which are released from plastic consumables (leachables) may have an influence on laboratory experiments. When they absorb light in the UV range they can disrupt DNA and protein quantifications. The Eppendorf Tube 5.0mL is manufactured without the use of slip agents, plasticizers and biocides —substances that have been shown to affect bio-assays and laboratory measurements— and thus offers a safe alternative for sample preparation and storage.
