Frequently asked questions
Are these Cultubes supplied sterile?
Yes, the Simport Cultubes are supplied Factory New and guaranteed sterile. This ensures they are immediately ready for use in sensitive laboratory applications, such as microbiological culture and sterile sample storage.
A significant advantage of this product is its unique packaging, which enhances ease of use:
- Tubes are aligned horizontally in convenient plastic trays.
- This space-saving orientation facilitates easier handling and manipulation within the laboratory environment.
Are these culture tubes available with or without caps?
Yes, the Simport Cultubes Sterile Culture Tubes are designed with flexibility in mind and are offered in two primary configurations:
- With Cap: These options are supplied sterile and include the corresponding matching screw caps.
- No Cap (Tubes Only): These sterile tubes are provided without caps, offering maximum flexibility if you use specialized closures or specific processing equipment.
This capping versatility is available across both material choices (Polystyrene or Polypropylene) and the two available sizes (17mm x 95mm and 12mm x 75mm).
What are the ideal laboratory uses?
The Simport Cultubes are supplied sterile and factory new, making them indispensable for any laboratory work requiring high sample integrity and a contamination-free environment.
