Frequently Asked Questions
Are these 12 x 75 mm tubes compatible with flow cytometers?
The 12 x 75 mm round bottom format is the industry-standard footprint for most flow cytometry sample loaders. Verify your specific instrument's tube holder dimensions before use, as we do not certify named instrument compatibility.
Are these test tubes sterile?
No. These tubes are supplied non-sterile, which suits routine reagent handling, dilutions, and general bench work. For applications requiring sterility, the tubes should be autoclaved only if compatible — note polystyrene is not autoclavable.
Can polystyrene tubes be autoclaved?
Polystyrene is not suitable for autoclaving and will deform under standard steam sterilization temperatures. Choose these tubes for ambient and refrigerated workflows; select a polypropylene tube if heat sterilization is required.
