<p>This compatibility makes them essential for efficient automated liquid handling and large-scale sample storage.</p>
Are the storage racks autoclavable?
<p>Yes, both the <strong>Simport Biotube Storage Racks and the tubes</strong> are made from polypropylene and are fully autoclavable. This allows for effective sterilization and ensures the integrity of your samples and equipment. The system is designed to handle temperatures ranging from <strong>-17°C up to 121°C</strong>, making them suitable for long-term freezer storage as well as high-temperature autoclaving procedures.</p>
What is the usable temperature range?
<p>The Simport Biotube Storage Racks and tubes are constructed from durable polypropylene and designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures for both storage and sterilization.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Storage Range:</strong> The system is rated for sample storage from <strong>-17°C (suitable for freezer use)</strong> up to <strong>121°C</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Autoclavable:</strong> Both the rack and the tubes are fully <strong>autoclavable</strong> at 121°C, which allows for strict high-heat sterilization protocols.</li>

</ul>
Do the tubes have a square exterior and round bottom?
<p>Yes, this unique combination is a key design feature of the Simport Biotube tubes, maximizing both storage efficiency and sample retrieval.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Square Exterior:</strong> This shape allows the tubes to fit securely into the 96-well rack (8x12 configuration), enabling high-density, space-saving storage.</li>
<li><strong>Round Bottom:</strong> The interior round bottom is critical for ensuring complete liquid drainage and emptying, minimizing retention and maximizing sample recovery during automated processing.</li>
</ul>
<p>Made from polypropylene, each removable tube offers a capacity of <strong>2.1 ml</strong> (2.0 ml when capped). Both the tubes and the rack are <strong>autoclavable</strong> and suitable for a wide temperature range, from -17°C up to 121°C.</p>

Are low surface tension tubes available?
<p>Yes, specialized <strong>Low Surface Tension (LST) tubes</strong> (Model T105-20LST) are available and compatible with these racks.</p>
<p>These tubes offer crucial benefits for sensitive laboratory applications:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>High Purity:</strong> They are manufactured from specialized polypropylene without silicone or other potentially harmful lubricants.</li>
<li><strong>Minimized Retention:</strong> The LST design minimizes liquid retention, ensuring maximum sample recovery.</li>
<li><strong>Ideal Use:</strong> They are highly recommended for applications involving nucleic acid and protein work where sample recovery is critical.</li>
