Vial, Polycarbonate, 4 ml with polypropylene screw cap, unlined - 240 count

Our 4 ml Polycarbonate Vials with Unlined Polypropylene Screw Caps are designed for high throughput homogenization of hard materials, such as seeds, lyophilized plant tissues (e.g. corn and soybean roots), pills/tablets, animal organs such as mice (frozen heart and liver), and ticks for virus extraction. These tubes can be formatted for high throughput sample processing. Unlike softer plastics, polycarbonate retains its rigidity and strength during bead beating. Extremely durable, polycarbonate vials can be submersed in liquid nitrogen and immediately used for cryogenic grinding. Vials should be placed in Cryo-Blocks for cryogenic grinding. Polycarbonate is not compatible with phenol and chloroform, please see our polyethylene vials. Adapters are available for compatibility with the TissueLyser or Retsch homogenizers.

Each vial has a working volume of 2 ml of buffer and is suitable for homogenizing up to 200 mg of sample.  Recommended for use with 3/8” Stainless Steel Grinding Balls and 5/16” Stainless Steel Grinding Balls (not included).

Sold in cases of (240) 4 ml Polycarbonate Vials with Unlined Polypropylene Screw Caps.
