Microcentrifuge Tubes 0.1–2.0 mL | Snap-Cap PP Tubes

Microcentrifuge Tubes for Molecular and Analytical Workflows

Kelabscience microcentrifuge tubes are engineered for reliable sample handling in molecular biology, biochemistry, clinical diagnostics, and general research laboratories. Manufactured from high-clarity polypropylene (PP), these tubes support routine spin-down steps, pellet collection, sample preparation, and short-term storage under standard laboratory conditions. For larger-volume centrifugation workflows, see our Centrifuge Tubes.

To accommodate a wide range of applications—from PCR preparation to nucleic acid extraction and reagent aliquoting—the product line includes capacities from 0.1 mL to 2.0 mL, offered in conical or round-bottom formats with secure snap-cap designs. Optional low-binding versions are available upon request when enhanced sample recovery is required.

Key Features

• Volume options: 0.1 mL, 0.2 mL, 0.5 mL, 1.5 mL, 2.0 mL

• Bottom types: Conical for efficient pelleting; round-bottom available for 2.0 mL formats

• Cap design: Tight-seal snap caps for secure closure during mixing and centrifugation

• Material: Virgin polypropylene (PP) with high clarity and chemical compatibility

• Graduation: Non-graduated by default; graduated versions available

• Sterility: Non-sterile by default; sterile versions available

• Surface property: Standard PP by default; low-binding versions available on request

• Packaging: 0.1–0.5 mL at 1000 pcs/bag; 1.5–2.0 mL at 500 pcs/bag

Applications

Kelabscience microcentrifuge tubes are suitable for:

• PCR reaction setup and reagent aliquoting

• DNA/RNA extraction and purification workflows

• Protein sample preparation

• Spin-down assays and pellet collection

• Cell suspension handling in low-volume formats

• General laboratory storage, mixing, and sample transfer

During preparation workflows, accurate pipetting can be paired with our Filter Pipette Tips.

Structural Design & Material Performance

Each tube is precision-molded to deliver:

• Uniform wall thickness for mechanical stability

• Smooth internal surfaces that minimize sample retention

• Clear visual inspection of sample volume and pellet formation

• Secure snap-cap engagement to reduce leakage during centrifugation

Conical-bottom tubes maximize pellet recovery, while round-bottom versions for 2.0 mL are ideal for gentle mixing and suspension workflows.

Packaging Options

To support high-throughput laboratory operations, tubes are packaged according to capacity:

• 0.1–0.5 mL: 1000 pcs/bag

• 1.5–2.0 mL: 500 pcs/bag

This structure maintains efficient storage while aligning with usage volumes typical in molecular and analytical laboratories.
