Eppendorf TUBE(T) 5720850527

The Eppendorf Tube 5.0 mL is a polypropylene microcentrifuge/conical-style tube designed to process medium sample volumes up to 5.0 mL. Manufactured by Eppendorf as part of their 5.0 mL tube system, it fills the gap between small microtubes and 15 mL conical tubes and is intended for sample preparation, centrifugation, short- to mid-term storage and general laboratory workflows in molecular biology, cell biology and microbiology.

Key Features:

• Nominal volume: 5.0 mL
• Material: high‑transparency polypropylene (free of plasticizers, biocides and mold‑release agents)
• Maximum centrifugation: up to 25,000 × g
• Closure: hinged snap‑cap (snap‑cap, screw‑cap and hinged variants available)
• Temperature range: −86 °C to 80 °C (hinged lid); use tube clips above 80 °C up to 100 °C

Advantages:

• Precise lid sealing minimizes sample evaporation during storage and incubation
• Hinged lid design prevents accidental opening across a wide temperature range for secure handling
• Compatible diameter and bottom shape with many 15 mL conical adapters and racks, enabling use of existing accessories
• High optical transparency improves visibility of pellets and sample inspection
