Microcentrifuge Tube

The 1.5 mL Microcentrifuge Tube, also commonly called a microtube or Eppendorf-style tube, is a small disposable laboratory tube designed for centrifugation, sample preparation, mixing, storage and handling of small-volume biological or chemical samples. These tubes are commonly manufactured from transparent polypropylene (PP) and feature a conical bottom with an attached snap cap. Commercial 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes commonly include graduated markings and a writing/labeling area for easier sample identification. They are widely used in clinical laboratories, molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, diagnostic testing and research laboratories.
