With the introduction of the two screw cap tubes 15 mL and 50 mL, Eppendorf Tubes® now cover the entire volume range from 0.5 mL to 50 mL.

The newly designed screw caps provide not only optimal sealing properties, but with their grooved and multi-surface side-contour they simultaneously ensure a secure, slip-free grip. The optimized handling features further facilitate safe opening and closing of the tubes via convenient one-handed operation.

The Eppendorf Conical Tubes are further characterized by an expanded purity grade: they are not only sterile and pyrogen-free, but they are also free from DNases and RNases as well as human and bacterial DNA. These features make them ideally suited for cell biology applications in a sterile environment as well as for laboratory protocols in the fields of microbiology and molecular biology, which rely on freedom from contaminations with DNA.

The highest level of manufacturing precision and robustness ensure smooth performance of these tubes in laboratory instruments such as centrifuges or thermomixers.

“With all these high quality product features, the Eppendorf Conical Tubes 15 mL and 50 mL make a significant contribution to reliable and reproducible results in a broad variety of laboratory protocols”, says Dr. Nils Gerke, Global Product Manager for Consumables at Eppendorf.

Labware and Lab SuppliesLabware and lab supplies include various forms of glassware, plasticware, reagents and personal protective equipment (PPE) and are used across all scientific laboratories, enabling daily tasks to be performed. Explore a range of flasks and beakers, petri dishes, carboys and storage bottles. Labware such as condensers, desiccators and burettes are also available for more specific tasks. Find the best labware and lab supplies in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.CentrifugesCentrifuges are used to separate particulates suspended in a liquid via the application of a centrifugal force including cells, macromolecules, nanoparticles and precipitates. 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.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

This will prevent deterioration and cross contamination, and improve the accuracy of sample tracking procedures.Microbiology ConsumablesSample ConcentrationSample concentration involves the removal of solvents from samples using technologies such as centrifugal evaporation, lyophilization and rotary evaporation.Lab EssentialsLab essentials include laboratory consumables that are vital to the operation of all laboratories.
