RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik

Laboratory tubes form the foundation of precise analytical work in life sciences and biopharma applications. These indispensable laboratory containers enable safe sample handling, centrifugation and optical measurements at various application temperatures.

Material diversity for specific requirements

Test tubes made from polystyrene (PS) offer crystal-clear transparency for optical examinations, while polypropylene (PP) variants convince through autoclavability up to 121°C and chemical resistance. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubes resist aggressive chemicals and extreme temperatures. Centrifuge tubes made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) ensure safe centrifugation up to 13,200 x g.

Specialized solutions for critical applications

Cryogenic tubes made from PP enable sample storage down to -196°C for biobanking applications. Micro sample vials with 0.3 ml volume are ideally suited for gas chromatography and high-pressure liquid chromatography. Cuvettes with plane-parallel walls guarantee reproducible spectroscopic measurements.
