Eppendorf Type Tubes

Eppendorf and Eppendorf-type test tubes are among the most popular laboratory tubes in the world. The most commonly used test tubes in laboratories are the 1.5 ml Eppendorf test tubes. The tubes should be made of high-quality materials, and should be precise and reliable. Eppendorf-type tubes are offered on the market by different manufacturers and vary in terms of polypropylene quality, shape and degree of lid sealing. There are several factors to consider when choosing a test tube, such as the material quality , which is crucial as the tube walls are in direct contact with the sample, the leak-tightness of the tube which has many applications, from deep-freezing to high-temperature treatment in thermoblocks, and precise lid sealing which must guarantee the safety of samples and prevent the lid from opening during freezing or heating, centrifugation or shaking. Regardless of the type of laboratory, test tubes constitute an integral part of its equipment.

Types of Eppendorf-type tubes

Eppendorf tubes come in a variety of capacities, usually from 0.5 to 2.0 millilitres. The most common capacities of Eppendorf-type tubes are 0.5 ml, 1.5 ml and 2.0 ml. You can choose from transparent, colourless tubes as well as a variety of transparent colours, usually with a dedicated writing surface.

Special stands for Eppendorf-type tubes are also used in laboratories to facilitate work organisation and allow easy storage, transport or identification of tubes.

Eppendorf LatchLock™ tubes available in the EPRO store are made of the highest quality virgin polypropylene and come with a specially designed collar for precise lid sealing. Toolmakers and designers have developed a lid that allows the tubes to be opened and closed easily, while maintaining maximum tube integrity. The lid closure system used in Eppendrf LatchLock™ tubes comes to the rescue of scientists' fingers sore from repeatedly opening and closing tubes. Eppendorf-type tubes are commonly used in laboratories for sample storage, centrifugation, mixing, analysing small amounts of chemicals, preparing mixtures for pipetting, handling enzymes, proteins, nucleic acids and many other substances. Their small capacity makes them particularly suitable for tests that require small amounts of chemicals, such as DNA sequencing or RNA testing, or sample preparation for PCR and qRT PCR reactions.

EPRO Science ^® cooperates with an American company that has been improving manufacturing processes for over 20 years to ensure that the products you use meet the highest quality criteria. LatchLock™ tubes are the guarantee of safety of your samples. LatchLock™ is a leak‑proof and secure closure system that retains its properties under the most demanding conditions thanks to its combination with the tube material. LatchLock™ tubes are perfect for centrifugation as well as treatment with low and high temperatures.

Applications of Eppendorf-type tubes

Eppendorf-type tubes are suitable for a variety of laboratory applications in molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology and other scientific fields. Here are some examples of applications for Eppendorf-type tubes whose LatchLock™ line meets the strictest user requirements.

Eppendorf-type tubes are suitable for:

1. storage of biological samples; Eppendorf-type tubes are used to store biological samples, reagents prepared for reactions, mixtures or smaller volumes of packaged samples. With their tightly sealed lids, LatchLock™ tubes prevent contamination or loss of samples through evaporation.

2. DNA or RNA sequence analysis; Eppendorf-type tubes are often used to prepare samples for DNA or RNA sequence analysis. The properties of the materials of Eppendorf-type tubes as well as their small capacity ensure the accuracy and precision of the analysis.

3. preparation of mixes for PCR and qRT PCR reactions; LatchLock™ tubes ensure the integrity and stability of the sample, they do not bind DNA or proteins from the sample, the sample prepared for PCR or qPCR reactions is safe.

4. incubation of samples; Eppendorf-type tubes are often used to incubate samples, for example, to incubate bacterial cultures. The properties of the material of Eppendorf-type tubes allow you to maintain a constant temperature and humidity inside the tube. With a specially designed safe lid and sealing system, LachLock™ tubes minimise evaporation during incubation at high temperatures.

5. mixing samples; Eppendorf LatchLock™ tubes are used for mixing and homogenising samples, for example, when preparing solutions or extracting DNA. The small capacity and ease of mixing makes Eppendorf-type tubes particularly useful for this type of applications.
