The Borosilicate Glass Culture Tubes (No Rim) are high-quality laboratory tubes designed for use in a variety of scientific applications, including cell culture, biological experiments, and chemical reactions. These tubes are made from borosilicate glass, a material known for its thermal resistance and chemical durability, making it ideal for use in heating and with caustic substances.
The absence of a rim makes these tubes ideal for automated handling and precise measurements. They are available in different sizes for versatile lab use, including 12x75 mm (Catalog #1231-12M) and 16x125 mm (Catalog #1231-16M).
Key Features & Benefits
✅ High-Quality Borosilicate Glass
- Made from Borosilicate Glass 3.3, known for high resistance to thermal shock and chemical durability.
- Can withstand temperature changes from -50°C to 130°C, making them ideal for heating and cooling procedures.
✅ No Rim Design
- No rim edges ensure that the tubes can be used in automated sample handling systems, improving workflow efficiency in high-throughput labs.
- No rims also mean the tubes have uniform wall thickness, allowing for consistent heating and safety during handling.
✅ Versatile Laboratory Use
- Ideal for cell culture applications, tissue culture, and general laboratory procedures such as precipitation, centrifugation, and reactions requiring precise heating.
- Can be used in sterilization procedures as they can be autoclaved without risk of damage.
✅ Compatible with Stoppers
- Can be used with rubber stoppers or parafilm for secure sealing during incubation or reaction processes.
- No rim design ensures a flat, even surface for securing stoppers tightly.
✅ Durable and Reusable
- Highly durable, and can be reused multiple times without degrading under standard lab conditions.
- Resistant to most acids, bases, and organic solvents, ensuring long-lasting performance.
✅ Clear Glass for Easy Monitoring
- Transparent glass provides visibility of the contents, allowing for easy monitoring of liquid levels, chemical reactions, and color changes.
