Product description

What's included: 500 snap-cap microcentrifuge tubes sized at 1.5 milliliters each, supplied in seven colors: clear, purple, blue, green, red, yellow, and amber. The pack supports visual sample sorting and quick identification when processing many specimens.

Material and durability: manufactured from lab-grade polypropylene, these tubes offer good resistance to common reagents and retain mechanical strength during routine handling. They tolerate steam sterilization at 121°C for 25 minutes without noticeable deformation.

Measurement and labeling: every tube carries clear volume graduations for accurate aliquoting. Both the tube body and cap include frosted areas designed for markers or labels to help track contents without adhesive tags.

Cap design and sealing: the attached snap-cap allows one-handed opening and closing and provides a snug closure intended to reduce leakage and limit evaporation during centrifugation or longer-term storage.

Typical uses: suitable for centrifugation, short-term sample storage, reagent prep, PCR setup, molecular biology and microbiology work, cell culture handling, chemical analyses, and educational lab exercises. They fit standard microtube racks and many small tabletop centrifuges.

Pros

Large 500-piece set with seven distinct colors
Lab-grade polypropylene, steam-sterilizable at 121°C for 25 min
Graduated volumes and frosted label areas for clear marking

Cons

Occasional variability in cap tightness
Not premium-grade; some tubes feel lighter
Snap caps can require extra pressure to fully close

VerdictGenerous 500-count kit ideal for teaching labs and routine research. Color coding speeds sample organization, the polypropylene bodies resist chemicals and handle autoclave-style steam at 121°C for 25 minutes, and the frosted graduations make labeling and measuring straightforward. Not flawless—fit and finish vary slightly—but overall a practical, economical option for everyday centrifugation and

Sophia Brighton 5/5

Huge kit — colors make classroom work easier

This 500-piece assortment was perfect for my biology class. The color selection helps students keep track of different samples, and the caps seal well. They sit nicely in standard tube racks and are simple for students to handle.
Srinjoy Goswami 4/5

Good for lab use; quality is adequate

A practical batch of 1.5 mL tubes — the count covers our lab's needs and the size is ideal. Build quality is fine though not top-tier. The colored tubes simplify experiments that use visual coding. Caps can take a moment to snap fully, but once closed they hold up during routine work.
JJKatz 5/5

Useful for small-sample testing and balancing

These fit my mini centrifuge perfectly (it holds six at a time), making balancing straightforward. I use them for lipid work, separating serum from blood, and small urine sediment tests. Color coding helps keep sample types separate. Lids seal snugly and the measurement marks are easy to read.
Customer Review 5/5

Bright colors, compatible with standard centrifuges

Impressed by the vivid color range in this 500-count pack. The tubes are made of sturdy polypropylene and tolerate routine sterilization. Graduations and frosted label spots aid measurement and tracking. Snap caps allow one-handed use and provide a reliable seal during spins and short-term storage.
