Product Description
Skip the thumb strain and splashing that come with pressing snap caps onto culture tubes. DuoClick™ tubes use a patent-pending screw closure with two defined positions, so a quick quarter turn to the first click sets the tube for aerobic growth and a further half turn past the second click locks in a leakproof, airtight seal for anaerobic work.
This listing is for MTC Bio catalog number T8741, the DuoClick™ Culture Tube. Tubes come in 5 mL (12 x 75 mm) and 14 mL (17 x 100 mm) sizes in polypropylene or polystyrene, with printed graduations and a flat cap top you can write on. Sterile versions have the cap already attached and are packed in bags of 25, foam racks of 50 or individual wraps. Non-sterile polypropylene tubes are also offered in bulk cases of 1,000 with the caps packed separately. LIGHT LABS stocks MTC Bio consumables and ships quickly from Englewood, Colorado.
