Product Description
Protein Safe 5ml Low-Binding Tube, Snap Cap
Cat. No. 55505
The SPL Protein Safe series of centrifuge tubes are specially designed to minimize the loss of proteins and nucleic acids by reducing their adhesion to the tube surface. This 5ml tube is manufactured from high-clarity polypropylene and features a unique low-binding surface, making it an essential tool for sensitive applications. The robust design and convenient snap cap ensure sample integrity even under extreme centrifugal forces up to 25,000 x g, allowing for quick, one-handed operation.
Maximum Sample Recovery for Sensitive Assays
Standard polypropylene tubes can bind a significant amount of proteins, peptides, or DNA/RNA, leading to inaccurate results in subsequent analyses. SPL's Protein Safe technology creates a surface that prevents samples from sticking, ensuring that you recover the maximum amount of your precious material. This makes these tubes ideal for sample preparation, storage, and analysis in qPCR, sequencing, and mass spectrometry.
- Low-binding surface minimizes protein and nucleic acid adhesion.
- Chamber volume: 5.0 ml
- High RCF rating of 25,000 x g for high-speed centrifugation.
- Ergonomic snap cap for easy, single-handed opening and closing.
- Made from high-clarity, durable polypropylene (PP).
- Suitable for sensitive applications like proteomics, genomics, qPCR, and sample storage.
- Sterilized by E.O. gas, certified non-pyrogenic, and free of DNase/RNase.
- Clear graduation marks and a large writing area for easy labeling.

High-Quality and Durable Design |  | |||
| Manufactured from virgin polypropylene, these tubes offer excellent chemical resistance and high clarity for easy visualization of the sample. The precise cap seal ensures sample integrity during heating, vortexing, and high-speed centrifugation, preventing any leakage or contamination. Each tube is certified to be free from common biological contaminants, ensuring the purity of your experiments. | ||||

| | Surface TechnologyAdvanced Low-Binding SurfaceSPL's proprietary surface treatment process creates a unique hydrophilic surface that prevents the hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions that cause biomolecules to bind to standard polypropylene. This results in superior recovery of low-concentration samples, improving accuracy and reproducibility in sensitive downstream applications. |
