Favorite 5mL tubes

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Biochemistry

These are my favorite 5mL tubes to use in the centrifuge. They are very pleasing to use and I love the snap cap. They are also sterile which is great for cell culture.

Indeed, this consumable is a must for working derivatization at MS/MS level.

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Derivatization amino acid in food samples

The safe lock worked very well, even at high temperatures, 60-70C for 30 minutes, 1h, or 2h. No sign of leaking or evaporation of the reaction solution or color absorption from the solution on the tube wall when storing the solution under the atmosphere at room temperature. The tube is compatible with building in-house in-tip micro SPE pipette tip holders. It comes in different colors to protect the compound from direct light. It helps to reduce solvent usage when working derivatization for quantification.

Very good quality! Suggested for Quantitative Proteomics.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Proteomics

Very good quality, low plastics release even when heated, tube caps will not open even during intense shaking. Low binding variant seems perfect to avoid peptide loss.

Great product

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

DNA libraries

We very much like these tubes, the safe lock and easy open is a great feature, which often tubes have one but not the other. Eppendorf is also a great product for the price.

Durable containers for small volumes.

 

Average Rating 3.7

Application Area:

Analyze metabolites and prepare metabolite standards

These vials are great and do not leach with solvent extraction of samples, they fit into most speed vac and centrifuges.

Great tubes with excellent sealing

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

sampling for cell culture broth

Very good sealing, no spillage seen even at high RPM and rough handling. Easy one hand use, ergonomically designed. It can take multiple autoclaving cycles. Claimed to have less leaching, hence ideal for cell culture applications.

Application NoteSeparations

Performance Comparison of Eppendorf Conical Tubes: Cap Tightness, Centrifugation Stability and Leachable Levels

This application note investigates the performance of Eppendorf Conical Tubes 15 mL and 50 mL under critical conditions and compare them to other common brands used in laboratory. Conical tubes with screw cap belong to most commonly used laboratory vessel formats and are universally used in a variety of laboratory procedures. Typical applications include handling and transport of various samples and reagents, centrifugation and mixing, and many others. Being a versatile laboratory consumable conical tubes therefore have to withstand a great variety of conditions often regarded as extreme: temperatures between - 86 °C and 100 °C, high centrifugal forces (in the range of 20,000 x g), aggressive chemicals or solvents and many others. Under such broad range of conditions the tube has to remain stable and the screw cap tightly sealed ensuring protection of samples, user and equipment.
