Axygen Tube 5 ml Self Standing with Screw Cap Polypropylene Sealed 11 Packs of 25 Tubes

Axygen® 5 mL Self-Standing Screw-Cap Transport Tubes, Sterile (SCT-5ML-S) – Pack Lot of 275 Tubes

The Axygen® SCT-5ML-S is a premium, heavy-duty micro-volume transport and storage tube engineered for biological fluid collection, sample preparation, and long-term storage repository workflows. Molded from ultra-clear, high-purity polypropylene, these 5 mL tubes feature an integrated self-standing skirted base that allows stable positioning on laboratory workbenches without requiring a dedicated storage rack. Outfitted with precision-threaded screw caps to form a highly dependable, leak-resistant mechanical seal, these tubes are supplied pre-sterilized and arranged in a custom procurement lot of 11 sealed packs containing 25 tubes each (275 total tubes) to maintain impeccable sample isolation.

Technical Performance & Design

• Self-Standing Skirted Profile: Features an optimized bottom skirt layout that keeps the tube perfectly upright on flat surfaces, enhancing ergonomic handling and reducing the likelihood of accidental spills during one-handed pipetting routines.
• Leak-Resistant Screw Cap Interface: The threaded cap architecture ensures a tight, high-integrity mechanical seal, containing vapor pressure variations during shipping, sample transit, or mechanical agitation loops.
• High-Force Centrifugation Rating: Constructed with robust, thick-walled polypropylene polymer capable of withstanding mechanical stresses up to **20,000 RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force)**, allowing flexible use in standard microcentrifuge protocols.
• High-Visibility Graduation Matrix: Molded or printed with high-contrast graduation marks at clear 1.0 mL intervals alongside a large, frosted writing patch, facilitating fast sample indexing and precise fluid level verification.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Clinical Transport and Specimen Logistics: Excellent for containing, processing, and shipping clinical core samples, sputum extractions, or urinalysis aliquots between satellite extraction benches and central testing facilities.
• Aseptic Tissue Culture Inoculation: Pre-sterilized, certified-clean components provide a pristine pathway for transferring media additives, dynamic enzyme mixes, or cellular stocks inside laminar flow hoods.
• Flexible Long-Term Sample Archiving: Durable polypropylene formulation resists cracking under severe cold thermal gradients, making it ideal for deep-refrigerator sample archiving or low-temperature biological repositories.
• Small-Batch Reagent Compounding: The mid-range 5 mL capacity fills the operational gap between standard 2.0 mL microcentrifuge vials and bulky 15 mL conical tubes, conserving benchtop space and reagent volumes.
