Product Description
Samples that travel between collection sites, couriers and freezers need a container that will not leak or crack along the way. This collection of MTC Bio polypropylene and polystyrene screw-cap tubes and vials covers everyday shipping, storage and culture needs, from 5 mL mailing tubes rated to 95 kPa to bulk 7 mL specimen vials.
This listing is for MTC Bio catalog number T7955, the Transport/Culture Tube, 12 mL, 16 x 100 mm. Transport tubes are molded from high-grade polypropylene with self-standing bases, white printed graduations and a writing area, and use leak-proof 1¼ turn screw caps, with O-ring sealing caps on select models. FreezeTech™ versions add a temperature indicator patch that begins to turn blue at 4°C and goes dark blue at 0°C, giving a visible warning when cold-chain samples have been chilled or frozen. Sterile options are supplied RNase, DNase and pyrogen free, and caps come either attached or packaged separately depending on the catalog number. Order it from LIGHT LABS alongside the other MTC Bio supplies your lab uses every day.
Key Features
- 95 kPa Leak-Proof Design – Transport tubes with 1¼ turn screw caps meet 95 kPa transportation guidelines for shipping specimens.
- FreezeTech™ Temperature Indicator – C1825 and C1830 carry a patch that starts turning blue at 4°C and becomes dark blue at 0°C, then clears as samples warm above 4°C.
- Self-Standing Tubes – Skirted bases on most tubes stand upright on the bench without a rack.
- Printed Graduations and Marking Area – White printed graduations and a frosted writing area simplify measuring and labeling.
- Attached or Separate Caps – Choose caps attached to the tube or packaged separately to suit your filling workflow.
- Sterile and Bulk Options – Sterile tubes are RNase, DNase and pyrogen free; 7 mL specimen vials ship in economical non-sterile bulk cases.
