CellTreat Micro Tube and Cap 1.5 ml 50 Tubes

Description

CellTreat Self-Standing Cryogenic Microcentrifuge Tubes – 1.5 mL, Externally Threaded Screw Cap, Sterile, Polypropylene, O-Ring Seal (MPN: 230820)

The CellTreat 230820 is a premium, laboratory-grade microcentrifuge tube system engineered for the safe transport, processing, and long-term storage of biological specimens and chemical reagents. Featuring a 1.5 mL working capacity, these tubes are manufactured from high-clarity, USP Class VI medical-grade polypropylene. The self-standing skirted bottom allows the vials to remain upright on standard laboratory benches without a storage rack, and it features an interlocking base design that locks into place within specialized multi-well work stations for simple, one-handed cap operation. Outfitted with an externally threaded screw cap and an integrated silicone O-ring gasket, this system forms a certified leakproof and vapor-tight seal that safeguards sample integrity against external microbial contamination and evaporation.

Technical Performance and Design

• Medical-Grade Polypropylene Matrix: Injection-molded from high-purity, ultra-clear USP Class VI polypropylene. The exceptionally smooth interior walls minimize protein binding and liquid retention, maximizing overall sample recovery metrics during extraction loops.

• Silicone O-Ring Leakproof Sealing: Equipped with a secure, externally threaded screw cap embedded with a resilient silicone O-ring gasket. This design ensures a hermetic, leakproof mechanical seal capable of handling demanding shipping stresses and extreme temperature shifts.

• Interlocking Self-Standing Footprint: Molded with a skirted, flat-bottomed base that sits securely on open work surfaces. The base geometry is engineered with locking tabs that snap into automated multi-well workstation racks, enabling fast, one-handed capping and uncapping.

• High-Dosage Gamma Sterilization: Radiation-sterilized via high-dosage gamma irradiation to ensure an absolute Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶. Every batch is certified non-pyrogenic, DNase-free, RNase-free, and safe for sensitive molecular assay pathways.
