The Perfect Intermediate Volume Storage Option

Scientific Specialties, Inc (SSI), a US manufacturer of consumable plastics for laboratory researchers for 25 years, is proud to introduce its latest innovative products: a 5 mL graduated centrifuge tube and accompanying Flipper® rack.

Made in the USA at SSI’s ISO 9001:2008 certified facility, the 5 mL tube is ideal for sample volumes that fall in between microcentrifuge tubes and 15 mL conical tubes. They feature graduations every 0.25 mL and a flat, frosted cap and writing pad for sample labelling and identification. Compared to 15 mL tubes, 5 mL tubes offer increased safety against contamination, as there is no need for pipettor barrels to enter inside the tube. Natural, amber, and sterile options are available, and each unit is packaged in convenient stand up pouches. Unique to the industry, the assorted colours unit pack features 4 individually packaged colours. As with all SSI products, they are certified free of RNase, DNase, DNA, and PCR inhibitors.

SSI is also releasing a 5 mL tube compatible Flipper® rack. Along with 5 mL tubes, the new rack can house sample sizes ranging from 0.5 mL to 50 mL tubes. Offered in assorted colours of red, blue, yellow, and green, it is an ideal way to reduce clutter at the lab bench.

Since 1990, SSI has been developing and producing innovations for life science at their California, USA home office. They operate under an ISO 9001 certified Quality Assurance process and deploy state of the art fully automated manufacturing. SSI consumable products are sold through laboratory distributors worldwide. To discuss distribution opportunities, please email [email protected].
