Cluster Tube Strips 1.2ml Racked Non-Sterile Polypropylene 8 strips of 12 microtubes Alpha-numeric index on rack Clear Lid

Alpha Laboratories non-sterile 1.2ml cluster tubes, also known as organised microtubes or microtube dilution vials, are supplied as 8 x 12-microtube strips in a rack with a clear lift off lid. They offer a great alternative to deep well plates and are ideal for storage, dilution, mixing, harvesting, culture assays or screening applications. The rack and microtube system is equally suitable as a reaction vessel in robotic workstations or as a long-term storage vessel in a sample library. Both the 12-microtube strips and the rack are made from polypropylene. The rack has a printed alphanumeric index and meets the SBS standard for the dimensional requirements of the footprint of a microplate. This makes it suitable for high throughput screening (HTS) and other applications using automated systems.

The rack measures 128.02mm in length, 85.60 mm in width and 42.16mm in height (47.24mm with the lid on). The 12-microtube strip has a total length of 107.70mm. Each of the 1.2ml capacity tubes has an inner diameter of 7.11mm, an outer diameter of 8.13mm and an overall height of 44.45mm. The racks are suitable for use within a temperature range of -80C to 121C and are autoclavable. They are certified RNase, DNase DNA and Pyrogen free. Also offered sterile (LW9525).

Low Density Polyethylene strip caps for sealing the microtube strips are available to order separately (LW9550). A racked 12 x 8-microtube strip format is also available (LW9500).

These 1.2ml 8 x 12-Microtube Strips are supplied in 10 racks of 96.
