Frequently asked questions
Are tubes made from non-toxic polypropylene?
<p>Yes, these Simport sample tubes are constructed entirely from <strong>non-toxic, high-quality polypropylene</strong>.</p>
<p>This material provides reliable <strong>durability and strength</strong> while maintaining good optical clarity for easy content inspection, making them optimal for laboratory applications.</p>
<p>Key features related to their use in storage and transport include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Minimized Contamination:</strong> The tubes feature external threads, resulting in a completely smooth inner wall surface that reduces sample adhesion.</li>
<li><strong>Sterilization Ready:</strong> The tubes are fully <strong>autoclavable up to 121°C</strong>. <em>(Note: Caps must be loosened and tubes kept upright during the process.)</em></li>
<li><strong>Secure Sealing:</strong> When paired with appropriate silicone washer screw caps (ordered separately), these tubes are certified leakproof, tested to withstand pressures up to <strong>20 PSI</strong>.</li>

</ul>
Are these tubes safely autoclavable?
<p>Yes, these Simport sample tubes are fully <strong>autoclavable</strong>, making them suitable for sterile laboratory applications. They are designed to maintain integrity during the sterilization process.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Material:</strong> Constructed from high-quality, non-toxic <strong>polypropylene</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Sterilization Limit:</strong> They can withstand autoclaving temperatures up to <strong>121°C</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p>For proper and safe autoclaving, ensure the caps are <strong>loosened</strong> and the tubes remain in an <strong>upright position</strong> during the cycle.</p>

Are these sample tubes reliably leakproof?
<p>Yes, these Simport tubes are designed for reliable, high-integrity containment during the storage and transportation of biological materials.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Leakproof Performance:</strong> When used with compatible <strong>silicone washer screw caps</strong> (Note: caps must be ordered separately), these tubes are rigorously tested and verified to maintain leakproof integrity up to <strong>20 PSI</strong> (pounds per square inch).</li>
<li><strong>Contamination Control:</strong> The external thread design ensures the inner surface remains <strong>smooth and uniform</strong>, which significantly minimizes particle retention and contamination risks, supporting overall sample integrity.</li>
<li><strong>Material Quality:</strong> They are constructed from strong, high-clarity, non-toxic polypropylene.</li>

</ul>
Do external threads minimize contamination?
<p>Yes, the external threads are a key design feature that helps minimize contamination. By placing the threads on the exterior, the tube maintains a <strong>smooth, uniform inner surface</strong>, which significantly reduces the risk of biological material contamination during storage and transport.</p>
Are these high-quality sample tubes leakproof?
<p>Yes, these Simport tubes are designed for highly reliable and secure containment, featuring leakproof performance essential for the storage and transportation of biological materials. They are made from non-toxic polypropylene, ensuring both strength and clarity.</p>
<p>The key specifications for reliable containment include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Leakproof Rating:</strong> The tubes are successfully tested to maintain integrity under pressure up to <strong>20 PSI</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Required Seal:</strong> This performance is guaranteed when paired with compatible <strong>silicone washer screw caps</strong> (Note: Caps must be ordered separately).</li>
<li><strong>Contamination Control:</strong> The <strong>external thread design</strong> provides a smooth, uniform inner surface, actively minimizing particle retention and the risk of sample contamination.</li>
<li><strong>Sterilization:</strong> They are autoclavable at <strong>121°C</strong> (provided the caps are kept loosened and the tubes remain upright).</li>

Are caps included with the sample tubes?
<p>No, <strong>caps are not included</strong> with the Simport Plastic Sample Tubes. They must be purchased separately.</p>
Does each case contain 1000 tubes?
<p>Yes, each configuration of the Simport Plastic Sample Tubes is packaged with <strong>1000 units per case</strong>.</p>
<p>This high volume supports high-throughput screening and large-scale sample archival needs.</p>
<p><strong>Important Note:</strong> The compatible screw caps required for these tubes are sold separately and must be ordered independently.</p>

Are printed graduations available?
<p>Yes, these plastic sample tubes are offered in two distinct configurations depending on your measurement and labeling requirements:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Printed:</strong> These tubes include precise <strong>volumetric graduations</strong> printed on the side, along with a dedicated <strong>white marking area</strong>. This is ideal for labs needing accurate visual measurement and reliable sample identification.</li>
<li><strong>Plain (Not Printed):</strong> These configurations are completely smooth and clear, maximizing visibility of the tube’s contents without any pre-printed markings.</li>
