Find your ideal sample storage tube: Tube Wizard

0.75ml X-Clear Tube

Micronic X-Clear Tubes offer exceptional transparency and durability for precise sample preparation and analysis. The 0.75ml tubes feature a V-bottom and come with screw caps in a variety of color options. These tubes are designed to withstand temperatures from -80°C to +210°C and can withstand intermittent exposure to 235°C, making them ideal for demanding lab workflows. The externally threaded design minimizes sample contamination by keeping the screw thread separate, ensuring sample purity. Perfect for labs requiring high-performance and sterile conditions.

Our Standards

Product Quality Information

Certified Class 7 clean room

Micronic labware is manufactured and assembled in-house in a NEN-EN-ISO14644-1 Class 7 certified clean room environment (which is comparable to the US Federal Standard 209E Class 10,000).

Virgin material and approvals

For the manufacturing of its long term sample storage labware products Micronic uses solely virgin plastic raw material. The raw materials and auxiliary agents are selected based on the specifications that satisfy the high quality requirements of our products. The materials are FDA approved and comply with the (USA) USP XXII tests, including class VI (Medical approved), and the European Pharmacopoeia-monograph 3.2.2 unless communicated otherwise. Material components used to produce Micronic labware can be traced via the lot number indicated on the packaging.

Extractables

The materials used for Micronic tubes are the result of extensive research. One selection criterion is that the amount of measurable extractables leaching into samples is minimized.

RNase, DNase and endotoxin (pyrogen)

By maintaining the highest possible hygiene level during our production processes, Micronic manufactured labware is free of any detectable RNase or DNase contamination and the endotoxin level of produced and packaged labware is limited to an acceptable minimum (< 0.01 EU/ml). Our products are periodically tested on RNase, DNase and their endotoxin levels by independent expert organizations.

Laser-etched codes

The Micronic 2D Data-Matrix codes and 1D barcodes are produced conform industry standards. The 2D Data-Matrix code (which adheres to the ECC200 standard) and 1D barcode (type 128B) are laser-etched into the code area and are guaranteed unique.

Product quality control

Products produced by Micronic are tested according to AQL inspection level G2 and AQL value 0.4.

CE marking

Micronic Sample Storage tubes are classified as general laboratory products according to leading European Life Science Organizations (GAMBICA, FHI, LABMAS, Laborama, SPECTARIS). More information can be found here.

Decontamination

Upon request, Micronic products can be supplied gamma irradiated or ethylene oxide treated.

IATA

Our products comply with the IATA requirements for the transport of diagnostic specimens (UN packing instruction 602 and 650), assuming that our products are properly used (closed).

Our solutions

ULTIMATE VISIBILITY FOR SAMPLE PREPARATION AND ANALYSIS

The unique X-Clear Tubes are designed to set new standards in transparency, these tubes offer exceptional optical clarity and optimal light transmittance, making them an ideal choice for precise sample preparation and analysis.

Developed for demanding laboratory workflows, the Micronic X-Clear Tubes offer exceptional temperature resistance, delivering consistent performance from -80°C to +210°C. These tubes can withstand intermittent exposure to temperatures of up to 235°C, ensuring reliability even under extreme conditions. Their ability to endure multiple autoclave cycles without compromising structural integrity or performance makes them ideal for labs that require strict sterile conditions.

The externally threaded design prevents contact with the screw thread, reducing the risk of sample contamination and maintaining sample purity. The Micronic X-Clear Tubes are compatible with automated systems.

Superior transparency

Exceptional optical clarity and optimal light transmittance. The ideal choice for precise sample preparation and analysis.

Highly resistant

Withstands temperatures from -80 to 210 °C in continuous use (up to 235 °C for intermittent exposure) and has excellent chemical resistance

Coding options

Available with unique laser etched 2D Data-Matrix code (adhere to the ECC200 standard) on the tube bottom, 2D codes also have a human-readable code
