Description
DURAN® culture tubes with DIN thread and screw cap made of PBT are borosilicate glass 3.3 vessels intended for the in-vitro cultivation of animal and plant cells in a nutrient medium, an essential element of modern microbiological research. These original DURAN® culture tubes, sized Ø 12 × 100 mm with GL 14 thread and a nominal volume of 0,006 l, stand out through their uniform wall thickness distribution, which results in minimal thermal expansion and consequently high thermal shock resistance. They are therefore especially suited to work at very high temperatures and with rapid temperature changes. Featuring a DIN thread and PBT screw cap for airtight closure, together with a PTFE-coated silicone seal that ensures high tightness, the tubes support cultivation, storage and transport of small liquid quantities. Available in a pack of 50 pieces from manufacturer Duran/DWK Life Sciences, they are used for growing microorganisms, storing and transporting small liquid volumes as well as sterile cultures, and for cell culture work under sterile conditions in biosafety cabinets and clean-air hoods.
This article is part of Test tubes, in Tubes & vials.

Questions about DURAN® Culture Tube with DIN thread, with screw cap from PBT
What is this article?
DURAN® Culture Tube with DIN thread, with screw cap from PBT is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes DWK Life Sciences for laboratory use. It sits in Test tubes, inside Tubes & vials, in Labware.
A test tube is the open cylindrical vessel for a small liquid, in borosilicate glass or in plastic. Rimmed and rimless mouths differ. The size is diameter by length. It is not graduated for a result, and a glass tube that will be centrifuged has a force limit.
A tube holds a small sample upright. A test tube is the open glass or plastic cylinder. A centrifuge tube is conical so a pellet forms at the tip, and it is rated for a centrifugal force the rotor will actually reach. A vial is a small closed bottle, often for a sample that will sit in an instrument. NMR tubes are a special case: the glass has to be uniform or the spectrum is the tube, not the sample. Laboratory ware is listed under ISO laboratory glassware.
