Product news

Sarstedt Screw Cap Micro Tubes are now also available in a Low Binding Quality to prevent sample loss through adhesion to the tube wall.

The recovery of proteins and DNA without degradation or loss caused by adhesion to the tube wall is of crucial importance especially when using volumes in the micro liter range, expensive reagents or invaluable samples. Whenever the tubes are transported or stored for an extended period of time, they must also be designed to ensure excellent sealing features for protection against leaking or evaporation.

Sarstedt has combined these two product benefits – a low binding quality and an especially secure sealing principle – and now offers screw cap micro tubes made from special low protein or low DNA binding polypropylene. This material prevents protein or DNA adhesion to the screw cap micro tube wall without the need for any interfering coating such as silicone.

Sarstedt provides a customized quotation on the low binding screw cap micro tubes with an optimal solution for your specific application. Customers can select from a range of individual features of low protein or DNA binding quality, volumes, screw cap colors or options, packaging units, purity levels, skirted base or knurls of our Low Binding Screw Cap Micro Tube.

The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.
