Disposable Culture Tubes

DigiTUBEs are recognized as the best disposable digestion vessels on the market. Manufactured using virgin polypropylene which has been verified for leachable metals by ICP-MS. Low leachable catalytic/additive metal content, excellent visibility and good acid resistance are guaranteed.       

DigiTUBEs come complete with leak free, polyethylene screw caps with no metallic additives. In 2005, SCP SCIENCE introduced its second generation DigiTUBEs (catalog no. 010-500-261). Tubes are graduated, in 5 ml increments, up to the 50 ml graduation mark. The 50 ml graduation mark is certified accurate to ±0.25 ml in accordance with ASTM Class "A" volumetric standards. This reduces and eliminates the need for graduated cylinders and volumetric flasks.       

In fact, a DigiTUBE replaces 5 vessels in the lab (i.e. digestion beaker, graduated cylinder, volumetric flask, autosampler tube, and storage container). Save time and lower costs with the use of DigiTUBEs.       

Second generation DigiTUBEs offer a flatter bottom than previous models providing a more intimate contact with the base of the DigiPREP well. This results in a faster heat up times and faster sample temperature response times. For critical applications, DigiTUBEs are available in shrink-wrapped bundles, Handy-Pak (catalog no. 010-500-362), to protect against dust infiltration during storage and handling. To promote gentle refluxing, disposable watch glasses (catalog no. 010-500-081) are available.
