Product news

The new ErgoTubes are designed with a patented flip cap, which significantly reduces strain and effort during use. This feature assists in opening the microtubes more safely than traditional micro centrifuge tubes.

The ErgoTube meets today’s demand for ergonomic, safe, and functional tubes for use in centrifugation, sample prep, boiling, and storage.

Biohit ErgoTubes are RNase, DNase and Pyrogen-Free. They are available in clear as well as eight colors. Sizes include 0.5 ml, 1.5 ml and 2.0 ml. All tubes are packaged in tamper evident re-sealable bags for user protection as well as sample protection.

ErgoTubes are excellent for centrifugation, sample prep or storage. They are made of virgin polypropylene and have a frosted area for marking on both the cap and the side of the vial.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.

Centrifuges come in three sizes: microcentrifuges, benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges, depending on the volume and number of samples that require separation. When choosing a centrifuge, consider its maximum separation power indicated by its relative centrifugal force (RCF) value. Low force centrifuges reach a maximum RCF of 8,000 g, high-force centrifuges can reach maximum RCF values of 80,000 g. For extremely high forces, consider ultracentrifuges (up to 800,000 g). Refrigerated and vacuum centrifuges also known as concentrators are available for more specialized applications. A range of volumes are available for centrifuge tubes and microfuge tubes, depending on sample sizes.
