PRODUCT DETAILS

0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 mL Microcentrifuge Tubes for Sample Preparation

Puretest clear polypropylene microcentrifuge tubes combine a reinforced hinged snap cap, readable graduations and a frosted writing area for routine small-volume sample processing. Sterile and non-sterile bagged options are available in 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 mL formats.

Product Highlights

Three capacities: 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 mL options cover common micro-volume workflows.
Reinforced hinged cap: Supports secure closure and helps reduce leakage risk.
Clear polypropylene body: Allows easy sample observation.
Readable graduations: Provide a quick reference for approximate volume checks.
Frosted writing area: Supports sample identification.
Conical bottom: Directs liquid and pellets toward a defined low point.
Autoclave-resistant design: Suitable for validated high-temperature workflows; confirm cycle conditions.
Sterile and non-sterile options: Select the configuration required by the protocol.

Product Structure and Functional Design

Each tube is molded as one polypropylene component with a flexible cap hinge, snap-lock closure, cylindrical graduated body, writing area and conical lower section. The cap and rim geometry work together to provide repeatable closure while the conical bottom concentrates liquid or pellets.

Application Guide

Workflow	Why This Tube Fits
Sample aliquoting	Three capacities allow users to match tube headspace to the sample volume.
Microcentrifugation	Conical bottom concentrates pellets and residual liquid.
DNA/RNA preparation	Cleanliness-controlled configurations support validated molecular workflows.
Reagent storage	Snap closure and writing area support organized short-term storage.
Heat-incubation and preparation	Polypropylene construction supports validated temperature-controlled steps.

Workflow and Equipment Compatibility

Confirm the rotor bore, tube support, maximum RCF, cap clearance, fill volume and temperature for the exact capacity. Do not use a 0.5 mL tube unsupported in a rotor designed only for 1.5/2.0 mL tubes; use the correct adapter.

Material, Cleanliness and Quality Documentation

The tube family uses clear polypropylene supply configurations with cleanliness claims tied to the selected SKU. Heavy-metal status, pyrogen/endotoxin status, cytotoxicity, DNase/RNase status, sterilization method, SAL, temperature range and batch documents must be confirmed on the quotation rather than inferred from the family description.

Ordering Information, Packaging and OEM Supply

Volume	Non-Sterile SKU	Sterile SKU	Bag / Case
0.5 mL	CT030000.5	CT031000.5	500 / 5,000
1.5 mL	CT030001.5	CT031001.5	500 / 5,000
2.0 mL	CT030002	CT031002	500 / 5,000

Private-label bags, case marks and distributor cartons can be discussed. Confirm required cleanliness documents, cap color, annual volume and destination market.

Choose the Right Centrifuge Tube Capacity

Capacity / Page	Structure	Typical Selection
0.5 / 1.5 / 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes	Hinged snap cap; conical microtube	Small-volume sample preparation
10 mL conical centrifuge tube	Screw cap; conical bottom	Intermediate-volume processing
15 mL conical centrifuge tube	Screw cap; conical bottom	Routine cell and sample processing
50 mL conical / self-standing tube	Screw cap; conical or skirted option	Larger-volume centrifugation and storage
0.5–50 mL family selection guide	Family comparison	Capacity and bottom-style selection

Maximum RCF depends on the exact tube, rotor, adapter, fill volume and temperature. Request the current specification and validate samples before routine use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question	Answer
Are all three sizes sterile?	Sterile and non-sterile SKUs are listed for each capacity. Order the exact SKU required.
Can the tubes be autoclaved?	The family is described as autoclave resistant, but the exact temperature, time and cycle must be validated for the quoted SKU.
Are the graduation marks volumetric-calibration marks?	They are useful approximate references; use calibrated volumetric equipment for quantitative measurement.
Will 0.5 mL tubes fit a 1.5/2.0 mL rotor?	Only with a compatible adapter. Confirm the rotor and tube support.
Can I receive cleanliness certificates?	State the required DNase/RNase, pyrogen/endotoxin or other claims so the correct SKU and documents are quoted.
Can cap colors or packaging be customized?	OEM color and packaging options can be discussed subject to quantity and validation.
