Frequently asked questions
Are these tubes safe for centrifugation?
Yes, these tubes are engineered for durability and can reliably withstand centrifugal forces of up to 3,000 RPM, making them suitable for standard laboratory separation processes.
What material are these test tubes made from?
These tubes are molded from premium-grade polystyrene (PS). This material is chosen specifically for its superior optical clarity, which ensures accurate visual assessment of your liquid samples.
Can these be used in high-heat environments?
These polystyrene tubes have a maximum temperature threshold of 90° C. Please ensure your application does not exceed this limit to maintain the structural integrity of the tubes.
Are these tubes graduated for measurement?
No, these are non-graduated tubes. They are designed for applications where precise volume measurement on the tube itself is not required, focusing instead on sample containment and processing clarity.
Are these tubes clear enough for visual inspection?
Yes. Because they are manufactured from high-grade polystyrene, they offer excellent transparency, providing the high level of optical clarity needed for reliable visual inspection of samples.
Do these tubes have a rounded or flat bottom?
They feature a round-bottom, rimless profile. This specific design is optimized for efficient handling and smooth loading into standard laboratory equipment racks.
Is this a bulk supply suitable for busy labs?
Absolutely. Each case contains 4,000 units, which is specifically intended to meet the high-throughput requirements of clinical or research environments that require a consistent supply.
What is the total capacity of each tube?
Each test tube has a capacity of 5 mL and dimensions of 13 x 75 mm, conforming to standard sizes used in most clinical and laboratory settings.
Are these tubes rimless?
Yes, they feature a rimless construction, which allows for easier storage, consistent handling in centrifuges, and efficient stacking or organizing within your lab space.
Are these suitable for cold storage applications?
These tubes are designed with a brittleness temperature of 20° C. It is recommended to keep them within standard operating ranges to avoid compromise to the plastic integrity.
