BD Falcon Tubes
Features
The most widely referenced tube in the industry.
BD Falcon™ round-bottom tubes are the most widely referenced tubes. BD’s industry leading high-quality round-bottom tubes exceed researcher’s requirements for ease-of-use, reliability, and versatility. These tubes are manufactured in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to meet rigorous quality standards. The tighter dimensional tolerances provide assurance for consistent reproducible performance in your assays.
Features
- Dual position snap-cap prevents sample loss with ease of handling
- Unsurpassed optical clarity and strength (polypropylene) withstands high centrifugal forces
- Sterile, non-pyrogenicity tested to less than 0.1 EU/ml
- Designed for use with BD FACS™ instrumentation
Easy-to-use Dual Snap-Cap
Dual snap-cap enables both culturing and storage in the same tube. Leave it loose to allow for aerobic culturing while keeping your sample clean and sterile. When a tight closure is required, simply push down on the cap to obtain a leak-proof seal. This prevents leakage of your sample during handling and storage. It also prevents your sample from evaporating.
BD Falcon 12x75 mm Tube with Cell Strainer Cap
Easiest method to prepare laboratory samples prior to flow cytometry. A 35 µm nylon mesh is in corporated in to the tube cap (352235) to dissociate and collects amples for down stream processing in cell sorting instruments.
Use with Flow Cytometry
Tubes with more consistent inner tolerance, such as the BD Falcon™ 5 ml round-bottom tubes, reduce maintenance and wear of the Bal Seal O Ring resulting in less down time and costly repairs of valuable instruments.
