SureSeal™ Transport Tubes
Manufacturer: MTC Bio
Description
Designed with a flat, self-standing skirted bottom, these tubes sit completely upright on any flat workstation surface, eliminating the constant need for a dedicated tube rack during high-volume sample processing. The SureSeal™ design features precision-engineered threading that engages smoothly with the included screw caps to form a robust, leak-proof seal—preventing evaporation, accidental spills, or sample cross-contamination.
Key Functional Benefits:
- Skirted Self-Standing Base: Minimizes benchtop clutter and drastically accelerates one-handed pipetting routines, as the flat bottom keeps the tube perfectly upright while you dose reagents.
- SureSeal™ Liquid-Tight Engineering: The cap-to-tube thread interface locks down firmly to form an airtight and moisture-sealed boundary, making these tubes dependable for shipping fluid arrays or storing volatile compounds.
- Segmented Bulk Packaging: The master case of 1,000 units is divided into 10 independent bags of 100 tubes. This convenient breakdown prevents your entire inventory from being exposed to dust or benchtop ambient moisture all at once.
Laboratory Bench Handling Strategy:
- Sterility & Autoclaving Note: These tubes are supplied non-sterile. If your protocols shift toward ultra-clean molecular biology, cell culture, or microbiology that requires an RNase/DNase-free environment, ensure the tubes are loosely capped (not locked down tight) before autoclaving at 121°C to allow proper steam penetration and prevent plastic deformation.
- Freezer Expansion Safety: Polypropylene handles deep-freezing beautifully. However, when freezing aqueous samples or liquid buffers inside these tubes, never fill them to the very top. Leave roughly 10% to 15% head-space to accommodate liquid expansion as it solidifies into ice, protecting the integrity of the screw threads.
- Industrial Aliquoting: The crystal-clear walls make these tubes an exceptional option for high-throughput automated filling lines, environmental water sampling assays, or industrial quality control testing where instant color and clarity audits are required.
