Sterile/Certified Free tubes (4-100 ml)
Certified Free centrifuge tubes are free of any detectable DNA, DNase, RNase, PCR inhibitors and endotoxins. They are double-packaged for contamination-free cleanroom transfer. Thanks to ethylene oxide sterilization, our sterile centrifuge tubes are also completely free of viable microorganisms – a prerequisite for many biologically critical applications.
Sealable, pierceable tubes (1-100 ml)
Dome-top or bell-top style disposable centrifuge tubes with plugs and spacers for tight and safe closure during centrifugation.
Quick-Seal (1.0 – 100 ml):
Heat-sealed centrifuge tubes for use in swing-out, vertical, near-vertical and most fixed-angle rotors. These tubes are particularly suitable for radioactive and pathogenic samples.
Open tubes (0.175-100 ml)
Thin-walled, disposable centrifuge tubes and thick-walled, re-usable tubes that allow sample loading and retrieval. The tubes are available in a variety of materials and volumes.
Sealable bottles and containers (10-2250 ml)
Centrifuge bottles and tubes made of various materials for high-volume harvesting, pelleting, protein purification, DNA isolation or sample storage.
Harvest Liners (250-2250 ml)
Harvest Liners are the ideal solution for extracting cells, bacteria or yeasts. The liners minimize the risk of contamination and spillage during your harvesting process. They also save a lot of space when freezing a sample as there is no need to freeze the entire bottle. We now also offer sterile Harvest Liners.
Sealable, non-pierceable tubes (1.5-100 ml)
Sealable tubes are available with different locking systems depending on the application. They range from conventional screw caps and snap closures to complete closure systems and are available from us in different materials.
Single-use labware
Whether you need to enhance safety, save space or make cell harvesting more efficient, our single-use consumables will help you optimize your lab processes. These accessories are, of course, also available “Certified Free” and sterile, so you can be sure that your samples are not biologically contaminated by the labware you use.
Adapters for various tube types
Our more than 310 different adapters for fixed and swing-bucket rotors give you maximum flexibility for your work routines in the lab. They are suitable for various types of centrifuge tubes. Even for cell culture bottles you will find suitable adapters.
