Once you quit laughing at the name, you will realize how revolutionary this little tube is!

When people in the research community say “groundbreaking”, they are usually describing a dramatic improvement in technique or approach.

It is not the sort of term you would think should be applied to a humble piece of plastic.

But that is exactly how people are describing this new conical tube.

Here are just some of the ways your colleagues are using this remarkable tube:

Master mixes larger than 2mL
Immunoprecipitations – It is much easier to get total bead coverage
Collecting blood and urine
Storing tissue and viruses – Think of how much precious -80 space is wasted on 3mL of virus in a 15mL tube!
Sample incubation – The screw-cap offers a leak-proof seal
Preparing injections – You cannot get the shoulders of a syringe into a 15mL tube
And more!

Very popular in the CRO and CRM community where samples are prepared in larger volumes than the typical research lab

Black-Opaque for storing light-sensitve samples

Other important features are:

20mm (OD) caps that seal smoothly and completely with a single 360° turn.
Safe for use from -86°C to 110°C - Autoclavable
