Unique One-handed Opening Microtube

Due to its patented lid design, the Elkay FlipTube® microcentrifuge tube provides users increased sample security

with better, more efficient handling. Rather than ‘flicking’ the lid up from the front, FlipTube works by applying gentle thumb

pressure to the back of the hinged lid. This eliminates two potential drawbacks related to the ‘traditional’ method of tube

opening: The risk of sample contamination which may be introduced by the thumb coming into contact with the inside

of the tube lid (or contents) and the requirement for using both hands to open the tube. The award winning FlipTube

resolves both of these issues, providing a safer, quicker, and more efficient working style. Enquire for free samples.
