Description:

Manufactured in polypropylene, they can be autoclaved up to 121°C or frozen down to -80°C. 5ml tubes are used in labs for a range of small volume tasks. One of the standout advantages of amber glass is its ability to block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV light can degrade sensitive substances, such as certain medications, chemicals, and essential oils. Therefore, the use of amber glass provides a robust barrier, protecting the contents and making it ideal for light-sensitive products. This brown centrifuge tube is perfet for the laboratory analysis and storage of light sensitive samples.
