Centrifuge Tubes with Puncture Hole
Centrifuge Tubes with Puncture Hole are 15 mL tubes whose cap is designed to be pierced, so the contents can be reached without unscrewing the closure. Laboratories running automated sampling or handling sealed samples use them to limit how often a tube is opened.
One GVS product is listed: a 15 mL sterilised tube supplied with caps in bags of 100 and tubes in bags of 25, with 500 per case and sold here in packs of 25.
Standard conical centrifuge tubes, metal-free centrifuge tubes and screw cap micro tubes are listed in neighbouring Labware sections if a puncturable cap is not required, and the 7-well tube stands hold 15 mL and 50 mL tubes upright at the bench. Consider the cap format against the probe or needle your system uses before ordering. Lancetech Limited can quote this tube and can source other puncture-cap sizes on request if 15 mL is not the right volume.
