Simport 5mL ClikLok and MacrewTube Microcentrifuge Tubes

The Simport 5.0 ClikLok™ tube and MacrewTube™ have been designed for the simple and safe processing of medium-sized sample volumes. Up until now, for samples larger than 2.0 mL, the only choice was to use large conical screw-cap tubes, such as 15 mL, which were both impractical and prone to contamination. The potential for pipettor shaft contamination is greatly reduced since the 59mm and 62mm total tube length (vs 120mm for 15ml tube) is short enough for standard 1mL or 5mL tubes to reach the tube’s conical bottom. The 16mm tube diameter is identical to the diameter of standard 15 mL tubes, ensuring further compatibility with centrifuge rotors, etc.

Key Features

• RNase, DNase, Pyrogen, & DNA free
• Manufactured of exceptionally high-quality, transparent polypropylene without the use of slip agents, plasticizers, mold release agents, and biocide substances
• Writing surface on flat cap and side wall for quick sample identification
• Sample identification is easily achieved using a CAPINSERT™ or with a 2D Datamatrix laser etched barcode insert
• Precise lid sealing for minimal evaporation rate during long-term storage
• Center of cap with <> area designed for easy puncture and access with a syringe/needle
• Once punctured, the opening can be useful for venting the internal pressure during heating
• Exceptional centrifugation stability of up to 25,000 x g
