Bacterial Culture Tubes

Sterile Tubes for Microbiology & Cell Culture Applications

Bacterial culture tubes are laboratory consumables used for the cultivation, maintenance, and handling of microbial and cell samples under controlled conditions. They provide a closed environment that supports bacterial growth, cell suspension handling, and small-volume biological reactions in microbiology and cell culture workflows.

Hawach sterile culture tubes are designed for reliable sample handling, clear observation, and contamination-free operation in routine laboratory applications.

What Are Bacterial Culture Tubes Used For?

Culture tubes are commonly used as basic vessels for biological growth and sample processing. They are suitable for both microbial and cell-based systems where controlled incubation and observation are required.

• Cultivation of bacteria, yeast, and microorganisms
• Maintenance of cell suspensions
• Small-volume reagent mixing and incubation
• Short-term sample storage and handling

Key Features

Sterile, Contamination-Controlled Design

Available in pre-sterilized formats with DNase/RNase-free and non-pyrogenic treatment, ensuring reliable use in sensitive biological experiments.

High-Transparency Tube Body

Clear material allows direct visual observation of culture growth, turbidity changes, and sample conditions without opening the tube.

Secure Sealing Cap System

Leak-resistant caps help maintain sterility while reducing evaporation and contamination risk during incubation or transport.

Chemical & Mechanical Stability

Manufactured from laboratory-grade PP materials with good resistance to common reagents and centrifugation conditions.

Multiple Size Options

Available in 5 mL and 14 mL formats to support different experimental scales and workflows.
