Spinning in the Middle with New 5ml Midi Centrifuge Tubes

If you’re looking for that intermediate volume option between microcentrifuge tubes and 15ml centrifuge tubes then look no further! Alpha Laboratories has the perfect solution – the NEW 5ml conical base Midi Centrifuge Tube. The shorter height of the tube provides increased protection against contamination as long pipette barrels do not need to be inserted into the tube when aspirating or dispensing samples. 

Featuring an easy-to-open, flat, frosted cap and a large frosted writing area they ensure easy sample labelling and identification. Supplied in handy resealable packs either sterile or non-sterile natural coloured tubes, assorted colours or amber for light senstive samples.

Alpha’s Midi Centrifuge tubes are 56.6mm in height and graduated at every 0.25ml for more accurate volume estimation. The tube diameter is 19mm, the same as standard 15ml centrifuge tubes, making them compatible with many standard centrifuge rotors.

The tubes can be centrifuged to 21,000 rcf and autoclaved at 121C for up to 20 minutes. Made from high grade polypropylene, they have undergone rigorous functional testing, ensuring their suitability for a wide variety of applications. 

The perfect companion to the 5ml tubes is the new 4-Way Midi Combirack that offers a space-saving, convenient way to store a range of tube sizes from 0.5ml to 50ml. It is autoclavable and suitable for use in ultra-low temperature freezers.                                   

The new 5ml midi centrifuge tubes and 4-way Midi Combirack are now available from Alpha Laboratories.
