Frequently Asked Questions
Are these microcentrifuge tubes sterile?
No. These tubes ship non-sterile. If your protocol requires sterility, validate an in-house autoclave or sterilization cycle appropriate for polypropylene copolymer before use.
What material are the tubes made from?
The vessel and tethered cap are molded from polypropylene copolymer (PPC), which offers good clarity, toughness, and resistance to cracking during freeze-thaw cycling.
Do the caps come attached to the tubes?
Yes. Each tube has an integrated tethered cap, so there are no loose caps to track and the closure stays with the tube during pipetting and storage.
How many tubes are in each pack?
Each unit of sale is 250/Bag. Pricing shown is per bag; ask about tiered institutional pricing for multi-bag and case-level orders.
