FAQ: Labware - General

Chemical resistance of the labware

The Answer
Micronic’s laser etched 2D Data-Matrix codes can be read after extreme abrasion and submerging into several chemicals. The excellent results of the Micronic 2D Data-Matrix codes confirm the capability of mechanical and chemical resistance guaranteeing reliable sample identification after short or long-term storage. These results are documented in the tech note about code resistance performance which you can request here. If you would like to know more about the chemical resistance of Micronic tubes, you can request a chemical resistance chart at your local sales representative here.

Isolating and separating suspensions and liquids is a common practice in chemistry, biology, biotechnology, clinical medicine and other life sciences. During these procedures, laboratory centrifuges expose samples against high relative centrifugal forces. In the Tech Note ‘Relative Centrifugal Forces’ centrifugal testing was performed to determine what relative centrifugal force (RCF) Micronic labware can withstand. You can request the Tech Note here...

The temperature range of the material of the tubes, caps and racks is approved from -80ºC to +100ºC. In practice tubes are used in lower temperatures until vapor phase LN2 (-150ºC to -196ºC). Micronic does not recommend to store tubes in liquid phase nitrogen (LN2). In practice tubes are only snap freezed in LN2 (without submerging the cap).
