Introduction

Product Information

Gene therapy and vaccine production often involve various types of purification for proteins, DNA, and other substances. Since nonspecific binding to plastic containers will lead to the loss of valuable samples, the purification processes often depend on high-quality plastic products for sample processing and storage. The smaller the sample volume is, the more important it becomes to reduce the binding between the sample and the container used.

The low binding microcentrifuge tubes of JET BIOFIL is optimized for protein and DNA analytics. These tubes are made using a unique high-purity polypropylene polymer material that does not require any surface coating, such as siliconization. Strict quality control is implemented in accordance with ISO9001 and ISO13485. The stable quality ensuring significantly reduces binding between samples and plastic surface, minimizing sample loss and achieving a maximum recovery rate of your precious samples and more accurate analysis results.

Resealable bag packing (50 per bag) to reduce the risk of contamination.

Lid lock prevents accidental opening of cap and evaporation of samples during long-term storage, and ensures operating safety.

Features

* Made of special high-purity polypropylene (PP) polymer can effectively reduce the nonspecific binding of protein/nucleic acid to the tube surface

* No surface coating (e.g., silicification) on the tube wall can reduce sample binding and interference to samples

* Lid lock prevents accidental opening of cap and evaporation of samples during long-term storage, and ensures operating safety

* Smooth and transparent tube body with clear graduation, designed with a frosted writing area, makes it convenient for recording

* Samples of different proteins and nucleic acids can be ensured to the maximum recovery, with a recovery rate over 90%

* The product has been tested for 18 items, including tightness, folding resistance of flipped cap, centrifugal force, solvent resistance, extractable and accelerated aging, which shows stable performance

* The maximum centrifugal force for 1.5 mL, 2 mL is RCF 25,000×g; the maximum centrifugal force for 0.5 mL is RCF 30,000×g

* Working temperatuer range: -80°C~121°C (no deformation after autoclaving with open lid)

* Sterilized and non-sterilized available, sterilized by irradiation to SAL 10^-6

* DNase/RNase-free, Non-pyrogenic, human DNA-free, PCR inhibitor-free

Special Tips

1. This product is not recommended for long-term sample storage for samples containing benzene, benzyl alcohol, or chloroform solvents.

2. Re-autoclaving of sterilized low binding microcentrifuge tubes may result in yellowing of the materials but does not affect the usage for the products.

3. The package can be removed and opened for autoclaving sterilization for one time. Repeated autoclaving sterilization is not recommended.

Material

* Polypropylene (PP)
* Conforming to USP Class VI standards

FAQ

Attention for the use of centrifuge tubes

* What is the maximum rotational speed that the centrifuge tubes of Jet Biofil can withstand?

21000xg. Due to the different center distance of the rotor shaft of different centrifuges, the centrifugal force generated at the same speed (rpm) is also different, so we usually use the relative centrifugal force (RCF) (g) to represent the tolerance degree of the centrifuge tube in the process of rotating centrifugation.

* Can the centrifuge tubes of Jet Biofil hold some kind of solution? How about its chemical compatibility?

It is necessary to pay attention to whether the sample is compatible with the material of the centrifuge tube as is used, especially if the sample is some chemical reagents or organic solvents, and the Chemical Compatibility Table of PP Plastic Materials can be used as reference. Samples with low or incompatible centrifugal compatibility are not recommended, and customers can also do pre-experiments to have a test.

* What is the possible reason for the burst of the centrifuge tubes in the process of centrifuge?

When centrifuging, it is necessary to pay attention to the chosen centrifugal force cannot exceed the maximum centrifugal force that the product itself can withstand.

Please notice that the maximum centrifugal force (RCF) that can be withstood may be decreased when the sample is centrifuged at low temperature or the sample is an organic solvent/volatile irritant.

* What should be pay attention to when using the centrifuge tubes to preserve the samples at a low temperature?

When the sample is preserved below 0 ℃, the applicability of the centrifuge tube is closely related to the composition of the solution and preservation conditions. The centrifuge tube cannot be placed on the foam support, nor the bottom of the tube is in contact with the thermal insulation materials. And please use a hollow support when preserving the samples at low temperature. Otherwise, as part of the centrifuge tube is protected by thermal insulation material, while the other part is not, the temperature difference of the overall tube body makes the tube prone to burst. In addition, please reserve a space of at least 10% of the total volume to avoid sample spillage or tube burst caused by volume expansion due to liquid solidification.

* Why the centrifuge tube smell special when its package is opened?

If you smell some odor in the product you receive, it is not because of the abnormal quality of the product. This is because some molecules will be vaporized and retained in the product/packaging in the process of high temperature injection molding/irradiation sterilization of the raw material plastic particles of centrifuge tube products.

The materials used for making the centrifuge tubes of Jet Biofil comply to the USP Class VI standards (USP Class VI Chapter<87>, "Biological reactivity Tests, in Vitro" and Chapter<88>, "Biological Reactivity Tests, in vivo”). No cytolysis or cytotoxic effects were observed through the verification. And the outgoing products in the process of quality inspection have passed various verification tests and are in line with the product release standards.
