Are you looking for versatile microcentrifuge tubes and conical tubes? Or do you have more specific requirements, like reduced contamination risk, enhanced sample identification, maximum recovery, PCR efficiency, or lab sustainability? Our broad centrifuge tube collection can meet these sample separation needs and more.

Versatile microcentrifuge tubes and conical tubes

Prevent accidental sample loss with Eppendorf Safe-Lock Tubes. These microcentrifuge tubes have optimized sealing properties, with a hinged lid to prevent accidental opening, ensuring your sample remains safe. Our selection of 1.5 mL and 2.0 mL Eppendorf Safe-Lock Tubes are a safe option for everyday sample separation, storage, and transport.

For medium sample volumes, Eppendorf Tubes^® 5.0 mL may be your go-to, with an easy-access snap cap, or a screw cap for added sample security. And when working with even larger volumes, our high-quality Eppendorf Conical Tubes 15 mL and 50 mL are other versatile centrifuge tube options, being suited for a diverse range of laboratory applications – including cell biology, immunology, microbiology, and molecular biology.

Reduced contamination risk and improved ergonomics

In many labs, including molecular biology and cell culturelabs, contamination can be a huge problem, risking the loss of valuable time and samples. Ergonomics is also a common issue, with many scientists facing muscular strain and fatigue when repeatedly opening and closing centrifuge tubes.

Our Eppendorf Conical Tubes SnapTec^® 50 are designed to help provide a more comfortable experience, while also reducing the risk of sample contamination. These 15 mL and 50 mL tubes have an innovative snap-cap that avoids the risk of accidentally mixing up lids, and offers easier, one-handed operation.

Eppendorf Conical Tubes 25 mL are another addition to our centrifuge tube family, with their design optimizing ergonomics and efficiency while minimizing contamination. The reduced tube height and wide opening gives easy pipette access, lowering the risk of cross-contamination. These 25 mL tubes are also available with a SnapTec^® cap, to improve comfort and sample handling further.

Safe and reliable sample identification

Written labels on centrifuge tubes are error-prone and can wipe off over time. Experience enhanced sample identification and documentation with Eppendorf SafeCode Tubes. The unique 2D barcoding system offers fast, easy, and reliable sample recognition at your lab bench. These Eppendorf SafeCode microcentrifuge tubes and conical tubes are available in sizes ranging from 1.5 mL to 50 mL. Eppendorf CryoStorage vials are also available with the SafeCode system, in sizes from 0.5 mL to 4.0 mL.

Maximum DNA or protein recovery

In molecular biology applications, the presence of DNA, DNAse, RNAse, and PCR inhibitors can be detrimental to your experiments. Nucleic acid and protein samples can also bind to the surface of centrifuge tubes, reducing the amount of sample that is recovered.

Eppendorf DNA LoBind^®  Tubes and Protein LoBind^®  Tubes are designed to overcome these issues, optimizing the recovery of DNA and proteins respectively. These microcentrifuge tubes and conical tubes have a PCR clean purity grade (being free of human DNA, DNase, RNase, and PCR inhibitors), and are available in sizes from 0.5 mL to 50 mL.

Improved lab sustainability

Looking to reduce your lab’s carbon footprint? Eppendorf Tubes^® BioBased Tubes are made with 90 % biobased plastic that can be traced back to biological waste material. These centrifuge tubes are available with a screw cap in volumes from 5.0 mL to 50 mL, and are ideal for cell culture, cellular biology, microbiology, and molecular biology applications. For details, please refer to "Sustainability for Tubes and Plates ”.

PCR

For PCR experiments, our single PCR tubes and tube strips allow for optimized heat transfer, are easy to open, and provide tight sealing to prevent evaporation. For fast PCR reagent kits and cyclers with high ramp, Eppendorf Fast PCR Tube Strips are an ideal choice. These strips transfer heat better and faster than traditional PCR tubes, allowing for faster results and higher yields.

Tube arrangement, storage, and transport

To keep your tubes in order during experiments, and for safe transport and short- to mid-term storage, browse our Eppendorf Tube Racks and Eppendorf Cuvette Rack range. And for longer-term sample storage in ultra-low temperature freezers, Eppendorf Storage Boxes provide a reliable sorting and storage system, with formats supporting microcentrifuge tube and conical tube sizes from 0.5 mL to 50 mL.
