Axygen Tubes with Attached Caps 0.6 ml Boil Proof Snaplock Case of 5000 Tubes

Axygen 0.6 mL MaxyClear Snaplock Microcentrifuge Tubes, Sterile (MCT-060-C-S) – Case of 5000

The Axygen 0.6 mL MaxyClear Snaplock Microcentrifuge Tubes (MCT-060-C-S) are high-clarity liquid handling consumables engineered for thermal incubation, microcentrifugation, sample storage, and general molecular biology protocols. Molded from optical-grade virgin polypropylene, these 0.6 mL conical micro-tubes feature a heavy-duty, boil-proof Snaplock cap designed to remain securely closed during high-temperature water bath incubations without popping open. Outfitted with frosted writing surfaces on both the cap and side panel, as well as a syringe needle-piercable cap center, these tubes deliver reliable protection and convenient sample identification for sensitive assay workflows. Supplied as a bulk case of 5000 sterile tubes (packaged as 10 inner packs containing 5 bags of 100 sterile tubes each), this product line offers certified contamination-free consistency for research and diagnostic laboratories.

Technical Performance & Key Attributes

• Boil-Proof Snaplock Cap Closure: Engineered with a robust snap-latch mechanism that maintains a tight, leak-resistant seal during high-temperature incubation, boiling, and high-speed centrifugation.
• High-Clarity MaxyClear Polypropylene: Precision-molded to deliver optical clarity for visual inspection of minute sample volumes, precipitation pellets, and phase separations.
• Syringe Needle Piercing Port: Features a thin membrane in the center of the cap allowing needle entry for direct sample extraction without opening the closure.
• Frosted Labeling Panels: Outfitted with frosted cap tops and side panels for persistent marking with laboratory markers.
• High-Speed Centrifugation Resistance: Structural wall design withstands centrifugal forces up to 14,000 x g to 16,700 x g RCF.
