Microcentrifuge Tubes
Microcentrifuge Tubes for Small‑Volume Laboratory Applications
Microcentrifuge tubes are essential laboratory consumables used to hold, mix, store, and process small volumes of liquid, typically between 0.5 mL and 2.0 mL. These tubes support a wide range of applications, including sample storage, centrifugation, PCR preparation, DNA and RNA extraction, and protein analysis.
Designed for reliability and ease of use, microcentrifuge tubes feature secure snap or screw caps, durable construction, and conical bottoms that aid in efficient sample separation during centrifugation. Available in multiple sizes and specialized formats such as low‑binding or PCR‑compatible tubes, microcentrifuge tubes help protect sample integrity while streamlining everyday lab workflows.

SuperSpin® microcentrifuge tubes were designed with the ability to extract DNA from samples and then amplify that DNA with reliable results in mind. They can be trusted to spin at high rates and can be opened and closed easily many times to add or remove agents. The interior surfaces are ultra-smooth with low retention. The tubes are clear enough to be use in spectrophotometers and have no extractables at the wavelength ranges you use to detect DNA. SuperSpin® microcentrifuge tubes are more than twice as effective at transmitting light than most brands of micro centrifuge tubes.
*Maximum G-force can be affected by organic solvents, multiple spin cycles, or low temperature storage.
