Eppendorf tubes

Introduction to Eppendorf tubes

Eppendorf tubes are microcentrifuge tubes used for containing, storing, mixing, and centrifuging small-volume samples in molecular biology, biochemistry, or medical testing laboratories. Depending on operational requirements, the tubes feature an easily pierceable flat flip-cap or a capless design, with an integrated graduated scale and a convenient marking area on the surface.

Selection criteria for Eppendorf tubes are based on working volume such as 0.5ml, 0.75ml, 1.5ml, or 2ml, alongside materials like PP, PE, or HDPE plastic. PP tubes can operate from -80 °C to +100 °C and are autoclavable at +121 °C for 20 minutes. Users can choose the SuperLock series with a secure seal against evaporation, pre-sterilized DNase-, RNase-, and pyrogen-free types, or amber tubes to protect light-sensitive samples. Hoa Viet currently distributes products from Aptaca (Italy) and Jet Biofil (China).

Which brands of Eppendorf tubes does Hoa Viet supply?

Hoa Viet currently supplies Eppendorf tube lines from two brands, Aptaca (Italy) and Jet Biofil (China), with packaging configurations of 500 pcs/pack or 1000 pcs/pack.

Can PP Eppendorf tubes be autoclaved?

Aptaca's PP Eppendorf tubes can be autoclaved at +121 °C for 20 minutes with the cap open. Additionally, this tube series has an operating temperature range from -80 °C to +100 °C.

When should SuperLock or amber Eppendorf tubes be used?

SuperLock tubes feature a safety lock system that prevents accidental cap opening and minimizes solution evaporation. Meanwhile, amber (brown) tubes are used to shield and protect light-sensitive samples.

What capacities of Eppendorf tubes are available at Hoa Viet?

Products are currently available in capacities of 0.5ml, 0.75ml, 1.5ml, and 2ml. Customers can choose capped, capless, graduated, or various colored models such as clear, blue, yellow, and pink depending on sample sorting requirements.
