The new ProtectRtubes, now available from Alpha Laboratories, have the only container closure system engineered to be CO₂ resistant.

This prevents costly damage to molecular and cellular solutions when shipping or storing samples on dry ice. Standard centrifuge tubes do not provide a reliable barrier against CO₂ and evenduring short term dry ice storage can result in acidification of samples, with a decrease in pH by as much as 2.5 pH units....
