Product Description
For quick-access centrifugation where a screw cap is more than you need, a snap-cap glass tube is fast to open and close. These disposable conical tubes give clean separations in solvent-resistant glass without the cost of washing reusable tubes in the lab.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 73790-5: Snap Cap Disposable Centrifuge Tube, 5 mL. Tubes are drawn from 5.1 expansion borosilicate glass with conical bottoms and are rated to 2980 RCF. The 5, 10 and 15 mL sizes have a finish for snap caps (sold separately as 73837), while the 50 mL size has a tooled top. Tubes are shrink-wrapped in modular trays. Order it from LIGHT LABS and keep your lab stocked with genuine DWK Life Sciences products.
