SuperClear® 5mL Tubes
These 5mL snap cap tubes are designed to fit the same rotors as our 15mL centrifuge tubes. So you can use these tubes in procedures that don't need the sample volume of a 15mL tube. And because these are snap cap tubes they are easier to use in procedures that require adding multiple samples.
High Performance Resin
SuperClear® 5mL tubes are made from an ultra clear high performance resin. They are available in non-sterile resealable bags. These tubes are available in six different colors and fit our 15mL centrifuge tube racks.
These 5mL snap cap tubes are designed to fit the same rotors as our 15mL centrifuge tubes. So you can use these tubes in procedures that don't need the volume of a 15mL tube and don't require the safety of a screw cap. The interior surfaces are ultra-smooth. Lab testing confirms SuperClear® tubes are more than twice as effective at transmitting light than other brands of 5mL centrifuge tubes so its easy to see your sample.
SuperClear® tubes feature an extra thick and durable wall that can withstand centrifugation to 25,000 x G, more than twice some other brands. The ultra clear polypropylene resin gives you a clear view of the pellet as well as correct color rendition. Designed with ergonomic caps and smooth surfaces. These tubes have flat piercable caps and a frosted side writing surface.
Available in resealable non-sterile bags.

Endotoxin Free (Non pyrogenic) Product samples are exposed to endotoxin-free water and the resulting extraction fluid is tested for contamination using the kinetic turbidimetric Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay protocol and USP guidelines. All products tested must display less than 0.05 EU/ml to be certified free of endotoxin. |
 |
Nuclease Free (RNase/DNase) Product samples are exposed to nuclease-free water and the resulting extraction fluid is tested for nuclease activity on commercially available 7.5 kb Poly(A) tailed RNA (1µg) and HindIII-digested DNA (1µg) with a one hour 37°C incubation in appropriate buffers. Results are visualized on an agarose gel with appropriate positive and negative controls. Extraction fluid samples must show no degradation of the nucleic acids by the extraction fluid has occurred for the product to be certified as RNase-free and DNase-free |
 |
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Product sample surfaces are tested for the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using a controlled bioluminescence reaction to detect contamination. Luminescence data is compared to results generated by ATP-free surfaces and surfaces with known amounts of ATP as a positive control. The relative light units result must indicate less than 2 X 10-12 mg/µl of ATP for the product to be certified as ATP free. |

Heavy Metals Free Heavy metals have been tested for using the prescribed USP method and confirmed to have levels lower than 1 part per million (1ppm) |
