In the ever-evolving world of lab research and testing, Accumax has launched Screw Cap Tubes. These well-made tubes meet the many needs of the lab setting new bars for reliability, safety, and how well they work. Let’s look closer at why these tubes are a must-have for your lab.
Why Pick Accumax Screw Cap Tubes?
Accumax Screw Cap Tubes give you the best of new design and top-notch use. Made from medical-grade polypropylene (USP Class VI), these tubes make sure you get the highest levels of safety and performance making them perfect to handle and store important samples.
Features That Show Excellence
1. Strong Design and Build
Made to hold up in the toughest lab conditions, these tubes are built to last:
- These tubes can withstand centrifugal forces up to 20,000g
- They stay stable during freeze-thaw cycles from -80°C to room temperature without losing their structural integrity.
- You can autoclave them
- They’re Gamma Sterile to a SAL of 10⁻⁶
- Their design includes a knurled surface to give you a firm grip
These tubes deliver top-notch results, whether you’re spinning samples at high speeds or storing them for a long time.
2. Superior Protection Against Contamination
Made in a Class 100K clean room, these tubes have no risk of contamination. The production doesn’t involve any secondary assembly or any manual handling in between for O ring infusion in caps, which ensures a clean environment. These tubes have been certified as RNase-free, DNase-free, Endotoxin-free, Human DNA-free, and PCR Inhibitor-free. Tests also check for leachable and extractable substances.
3. Advanced Sealability with Infused O-Ring
Regular O-ring designs often struggle to create a perfect seal. However, Accumax screw cap tubes made from USP Class VI US FDA approved material, come with an infused O-ring. This design:
- Involves seamless molding during production, which lowers the risk of contamination due to minimal manual handling.
- Offers better sealing and leak protection than standard O-ring designs that often become loose with extended use.
- Stops your valuable reagents from evaporating.
4. Flexible Choices for All Uses
These tubes come in 0.5 ml, 1.5 ml, and 2 ml sizes with different colored cap options suitable for many lab uses. Pick from:
- Conical bottom to collect and separate samples.
- Skirted (self-standing) bottom for easy and stable storage.
- Low Retention Choices are also on offer.

Plastic Tubes vs. Glass Tubes: Why Plastic is the Better Option
When comparing plastic and glass tubes plastic tubes—such as Accumax Screw Cap Tubes—have several important benefits:
1. Toughness and Ability to Withstand Impacts
Plastic screw cap tubes last much longer than glass tubes and are less prone to breaking even when hit hard. This helps a lot in busy labs where people might drop things by accident. Because plastic resists impacts so well, it lowers the chance of expensive and dangerous breaks keeping important samples safe.
2. Light and Easy to Handle
Plastic screw cap tubes weigh less than glass, which makes them simple to handle, move, and keep. This matters a lot when you’re working with many samples or moving them between different places. The light weight of plastic also helps cut down on tiredness during long lab work.
3. Cheap and Throwaway
Plastic screw cap tubes cost less than glass ones. You can throw them away after using them, which means you don’t need to clean and sterilize them like you do with glass tubes. This saves time and cuts down on running costs, making plastic tubes cheaper to use over time.
