SureLock A-7001 | 1.7mL Microcentrifuge Tube, Natural, Non-Sterile — 1,000/Bag

Product Description

The LIGHT LABS A-7001 (Sorenson BioScience SafeSeal™, manufacturer catalog # 11510) is a 1.7mL natural polypropylene microcentrifuge tube — natural color, polypropylene, non-sterile, bulk bag. Certified RNase/DNase Free. Certified Human DNA Free. Certified PCR Inhibitor Free. Certified Pyrogen Free. Graduation lines: Yes. Designed to fit all standard rotors with a 24,000 x g RCF rating and autoclavable. LIGHT LABS supplies the A-7001 in a convenient high-volume 1,000 tubes per bag format — double the 500-tube bag of the standard Sorenson packaging — for labs requiring maximum bulk supply efficiency. Non-sterile. Graduated. Frosted writing surface. Fits all standard microcentrifuge rotors. Temperature range: -80°C to 121°C.

The 1,000-tube bag of the A-7001 reduces the frequency of bag changes in high-volume labs, minimizes per-tube packaging overhead, and provides a more convenient bulk supply unit for core facilities, high-throughput labs, and any environment where microcentrifuge tube consumption is measured in the thousands per week.

SafeSeal™ Positive Seal Design — No Cap Popping During Boiling or Freezing The SafeSeal™ cap mechanism creates a positive mechanical engagement between cap and tube — maintaining a secure, leak-proof seal during high-speed centrifugation, vortexing, boiling, freeze-thaw cycling, and transport. The positive seal design eliminates pressure-induced cap popping — one of the most common and frustrating failures in standard microcentrifuge tube use that causes sample loss, cross-contamination, and biosafety hazards during boiling or autoclaving steps.

25,000 × g RCF Rating — High-Speed Centrifugation Performance The Sorenson 11510 has a 24,000 x g RCF rating. The robust polypropylene construction of the A-7001 maintains tube geometry and cap seal integrity across the full rated centrifugal force range — well above the maximum speed of virtually all standard laboratory microcentrifuges (typically 16,000–21,000 × g) — providing a meaningful safety margin across all standard molecular biology centrifugation protocols.

-80°C to 121°C Temperature Range — From Freezer to Autoclave The wide temperature range covers every laboratory temperature condition from ultra-low temperature sample storage at -80°C through room temperature processing, boiling, and autoclave sterilization at 121°C — all in a single tube format without requiring format changes between workflow stages.

Autoclavable — Reusable Under Sterile Conditions The Sorenson 11510 is autoclavable. The polypropylene construction and SafeSeal™ cap both withstand autoclave sterilization at 121°C — allowing tubes to be re-sterilized for regulated or aseptic applications.

Graduated with Frosted Writing Surface — Easy Labeling and Volume Reference Graduation lines and frosted writing surface allow visual volume confirmation without removing the tube from the rack and provide a dedicated writing area for permanent marker, pencil, or cryogenic label adhesives — supporting good laboratory practice documentation and sample traceability.

Fits All Standard Rotors Designed to fit all standard rotors. The standard 1.7mL microcentrifuge tube geometry ensures compatibility with all standard microcentrifuge rotors from all major centrifuge manufacturers without adapters or modifications.

Full Molecular Biology Certification Certified RNase/DNase Free. Certified Human DNA Free. Certified PCR Inhibitor Free. Certified Pyrogen Free. The complete four-certification purity panel qualifies the A-7001 for the most demanding molecular biology applications including RNA isolation, PCR setup, qPCR, DNA sequencing, protein assays, and any workflow where tube material contamination could affect results.
