Frequently Asked Questions
Are these microcentrifuge tubes sterile?
No. These tubes are supplied non-sterile and are intended for general laboratory use. For sterile applications, sterilize on-site using a validated method or select a sterile-certified product.
What material are the tubes made from?
They are molded from polypropylene copolymer (PPC), which offers good clarity, durability, and broad chemical compatibility for routine benchtop sample handling.
Do the caps come attached to the tubes?
Yes. Each tube features a tethered cap that stays attached during opening and aliquoting, reducing the risk of cap mix-ups and cross-contamination at the bench.
How many tubes are in each pack?
Each bag contains 1000 tubes (1000/Bag), packaged for high-throughput labs that need a reliable, bulk supply of 0.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes.
