5 mL SnapCap MacroTubes®

5 mL SnapCap MacroTubes® offer a largervolume alternative to standard 1.5 mL tubes while maintaining the same convenience, clarity, and ease of use. Made from high-quality polypropylene, each tube features an attached flip-top cap that forms a tight, leak-proof seal and can be opened or closed with one hand. The cap is engineered to maintain a reliable seal across a wide temperature range from –86°C to +80°C, making these tubes suitable for a variety of laboratory applications.

Designed with the same diameter as 15 mL centrifuge tubes, MacroTubes® are fully compatible with standard centrifuge rotors, racks, and equipment. In many workflows, these tubes effectively replace 15 mL conical tubes, helping labs reduce plastic waste, minimize storage requirements, and lower shipping costs.

The shortened tube length allows standard 1 mL and 5 mL pipette tips to reach the conical bottom, preventing pipettorshaft contamination and improving sample recovery. With exceptional clarity, dual graduations (every 0.2 mL and 0.5 mL), and a syringe port in the cap, these tubes provide maximum visibility and versatility.

• Dimensions: 16.5 x 54 mm (not including rim and cap)
