Description
DURAN® culture tube with straight rim is a borosilicate glass 3.3 vessel measuring 16 mm in diameter and 160 mm in length with a nominal volume of 0,02 l, intended for use with Kapsenberg® caps. In-vitro cultivation of animal and plant cells in nutrient media is a core element of microbiological research; small vessels such as culture tubes are preferred for test runs and scaled approaches. Uniform wall-thickness distribution yields minimal thermal expansion and high resistance to temperature change, supporting work at elevated temperatures and rapid thermal cycling. The straight rim permits closure with metal caps or cotton plugs to allow air exchange and is compatible with Kapsenberg® and metal caps. Supplied by manufacturer Duran/DWK Life Sciences, these tubes serve microorganism cultivation and general microbiological workflows. Packs of 100 pieces provide laboratories with consistent glassware for culture work requiring thermal stability and controlled gas exchange.

Questions about DURAN® Culture Tube with with straight rim, for Kapsenberg® caps
What is this article?
DURAN® Culture Tube with with straight rim, for Kapsenberg® caps 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.
