What is Eppendorf tube used for?
Eppendorf Tubes are single-use tubes made from polypropylene for preparing, mixing, centrifuging, transporting and storing solid and liquid samples and reagents. The product can be used for training, routine and research laboratories in the areas of life sciences, industry or chemistry.
Are Eppendorf tubes airtight?
Water does sublimate at -80°C. Eppendorf tubes (and for that matter cryogenic storage vials) are not gas tight at -80°C and parafilm seems to do little or nothing to prevent to exchange of gases in the head space of Eppendorf tubes.
Can you autoclave Eppendorf tubes?
yes, they can be autoclaved. Eppendorf tubes aren’t that expensive. No point autoclaving them and re use. To be on the safe side, you should always autoclave the tubes before you use them.
What is the use of a 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes?
Microcentrifuge tubes are routinely used in many aspects of molecular biology. These conical 1.5 mL tubes are ideal for the processing and storage of small volume samples, extracts and reagents.
Are Eppendorf tubes autoclavable?
How do you sterilize Eppendorf tubes?
I sterelized eppendorf tubes for RNA extraction samples by placing them in beaker covered with Aluminum foil and autoclave for 15 minute at 121°C.
How do you store Eppendorf tubes?
The boxes should be stored in metal freezer racks for efficient space usage within the ULT freezer. Barcoding of sample vessels enables safe identification of all your high-value samples.
Can you autoclave 1.5 mL tubes?
Eppendorf tubes (made of plastic) are sometimes used in my lab for sample storage. Can they be autoclaved? yes, they can be autoclaved.
How do I identify the original Eppendorf safe-lock tubes?
Always recognize the original Eppendorf Safe-Lock Tubes by the “ep” in the lid. The hinged lid on Eppendorf Safe-Lock Tubes provides outstanding protection against accidental opening of tube lids ensuring highest sample protection. This feature is especially important when working with precious samples, or buffers containing detergents such as SDS.
Why choose safe-lock tubes?

The hinged Eppendorf Safe-Lock lid provides outstanding protection against unintentional opening during incubation and storage. Trust in the original Eppendorf Safe-Lock Tubes, because your samples deserve nothing but the best.
Are safe-lock micro test tubes DNA free?
Our Safe-Lock micro test tubes are also available in the “Eppendorf Biopur” purity standard. Due to the special manufacturing processes and the individual blister-packaging, Biopur products are certified “DNA free”. Our micro test tubes are used both in the proteomics area and for storage and transport of many different protein solutions.
What is the centrifugation force of a safe-lock tube?
Eppendorf Safe-Lock Tubes are guaranteed to withstand very high centrifugation forces. Depending on the Safe-Lock Tube variant (see table), forces up to 30,000 × g are possible – allowing you to safely centrifuge without sample loss.
