Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the benefit of Eppendorf Protein LoBind technology?
Protein LoBind tubes are specifically treated to significantly reduce the adsorption of proteins to the tube walls, ensuring nearly 100% recovery of precious or low-concentration samples.
2. What does "Forensic DNA Grade" signify?
This grade certifies that the tubes are free from human DNA, DNase, RNase, and PCR inhibitors, making them suitable for the most sensitive genetic and forensic applications.
3. Are the Eppendorf 25 mL conical tubes compatible with standard rotors?
While 25 mL tubes provide more volume than standard 15 mL units, they are designed with a similar diameter; however, always verify that your centrifuge rotor supports this specific tube height and cap size.
4. Can these tubes be used for long-term storage?
Yes, professional polypropylene conical tubes are designed for both centrifugation and freezer storage, provided they are used within their specified temperature and pressure ratings.
