0.5 ml APEX TE SCMCT & Caps, non-sterile (1000 pcs.)
APEX® tamper-evident microcentrifuge tubes are ideal for sample collection, processing, and storage. These versatile and durable tubes are manufactured from high-clarity medical-grade polypropylene and are solidly constructed for high-speed centrifugation up to 20,000 g for conical bottom tubes and 17,000 g for skirted tubes.
The APEX® Tamper Evident 1.5ml Conical Bottom Microcentrifuge Tube is non-graduated and comes with separate caps. Additional tamper-evident caps can be purchased separately TE5326NThe tubes are also certified RNase, DNase, DNA, and pyrogen-free and can withstand extreme temperatures from -196°C to +121°C. The tubes and compatible caps are manufactured from the same materials. This means that both the caps and tubes will expand and contract at the same rate in response to temperature changes (e.g., during freezing or thawing), minimizing the possibility of leakage. Furthermore, they have been tested for 95 kPa compliance, making them suitable for sample transport under UN3373 regulations when paired with appropriate secondary (e.g., Specisafe SH0100SS, SH0300SS, and SH1300SS) and tertiary packaging (e.g., SH1000 or SH1200).
A wide range of racks is also available for working at the benchtop or for secure, long-term freezer storage of tubes. See the "Racks" section in our catalog or online for more information.
