Microcentrifuge Tube 1.5 ml with Safety Latch and Grip Tab

1.5 ml transparent polypropylene microcentrifuge tube for high-speed centrifugation. The latch-lock closure secures the cap to the tube body — a distinct click confirms the seal. No unexpected openings during runs.

Key Features

• Material: Transparent polypropylene
• Capacity: 1.5 ml, moulded graduations every 0.5 ml
• Closure: Safety latch — audible click on closing
• Centrifugation rating: 17,000 g
• Cap: Flat, pierceable, with matte writing band
• Grip tab: Allows tube retrieval without touching the sample
• Pack size: Box of 5000 units

Temperature Range

Autoclavable to 121 °C. Freezer-stable to -175 °C — suitable for liquid nitrogen storage. Polypropylene retains rigidity without distortion across the full range.

Handling and Labelling

Cap opens and closes one-handed — useful when holding a pipette. The matte band on the cap accepts permanent marker and pencil. The lower grip tab prevents direct contact with the sample — relevant in contamination-sensitive protocols.
