5 mL Centrifuge Tubes
Description
Hawach 5 mL centrifuge tubes are designed for larger-volume laboratory and bioprocessing applications where standard 1.5 mL or 2.0 mL tubes fall short. Manufactured from USP Class VI virgin polypropylene, each tube is certified DNase/RNase-free, pyrogen-free, and endotoxin-free. Validated for centrifugation up to 14,000 × g, they offer a robust solution for cell culture supernatants, bacterial/yeast pellets, large-scale nucleic acid extractions, and industrial sample preparation. Full batch documentation (COA) included. Free samples, OEM customization, and private label are available. Inquiries receive a reply within 24 hours.

Switching to a Larger Tube Format? Risk-Free Transition
Dimensional tolerances are maintained within ±0.1 mm to guarantee compatibility with standard 5 mL rotors (e.g., Eppendorf, Thermo, Beckman). Every batch is leak-tested and centrifugation-validated at 14,000 × g (n>500 samples; no failure observed in tested samples). Full lot traceability is assured, and a Certificate of Analysis (COA) accompanies each shipment.

Why Choose 5 mL Tubes?
- Gamma Sterilization: Co-60, SAL 10⁻⁶, certificate included
- Collecting bacterial or yeast pellets from 10–50 mL culture volumes
- Processing cell culture supernatants for protein work or viral harvest
- Large-volume nucleic acid extractions (maximizing yield from large sample inputs)
- Scaling up enzymatic reactions or bioprocessing steps beyond 2 mL capacity
- Long-term cryogenic storage of larger sample volumes (–80°C)
- When extra space is needed for vortexing or mixing without spillage
- Protocols that explicitly require 5 mL conical tubes (e.g., some industrial assays)

Important Usage & Compatibility Note
All compatibility conclusions are based on internal dimensional checks, rotor fitting tests, and high-speed centrifugation verification under standard lab conditions. Actual performance may vary with rotor type, protocol, sample properties, and ambient conditions. We strongly recommend evaluating free trial samples in your own workflow before full-scale adoption.
