The ratiolab® micro-tubes system
This is a highly practical system for processing small volumes. The reusable Micro-Rack is the work station and takes 96 micro-tubes in the standard 8 × 12 SBS microplate format. It is a stable and robust system and has a dust-tight lid. A sloping edge helps the positioning of the refill unit. The side edges can be labeled with a barcode. The rack is excellently suited to use in automatic dosing and robotic systems.
The 0.65 and 1.2 ml micro-tubes can be supplied as single, strips of 8 or in 96-well format as a refill system for 8 × 12 plates.
The tubes are closable either with an 8-lid strip or an 8 × 12 closure mat.
- the micro-tubes are autoclavable for 20 min at 121 °C
- temperature-resistant to –80 °C
- The refill system ensures easy, rapid and hygienic refilling of the micro-racks.
- The tubes can be removed singly and are numbered on the bottom.
