WaysideLab 5mL MacroTubes with Snap-Cap, Conical Base, Ten Bags of 20 Tubes, 200/pk – Compatible Microtube Alternative

Product Description

The WaysideLab 5mL MacroTube delivers all the ergonomic and functional advantages of a standard 1.5mL microtube, now scaled for larger volume handling. Crafted from ultra-clear, medical-grade polypropylene, these macro-sized microtubes are ideal for applications that require more capacity without sacrificing performance, cleanliness, or compatibility with existing equipment.

Each 5mL MacroTube includes an attached snap-cap lid that ensures a tight, leakproof seal from -86°C to +80°C, while also enabling one-handed opening and closing—a major advantage in high-throughput lab environments. The secure cap also includes an integrated syringe port, offering convenient sample withdrawal or reagent addition without needing to remove the lid.

Unlike bulky 15mL conical tubes, MacroTubes retain the same diameter—making them fully compatible with standard 15mL centrifuge rotors—but offer a shorter length that allows pipette tips (1mL or 5mL) to easily reach the conical bottom. This design reduces plastic waste, saves storage space, and lowers shipping costs, making MacroTubes a smart, sustainable upgrade for modern labs.

Tubes are offered in both sterile and non-sterile versions. Non-sterile color options include assorted, black, blue, clear, green, red, and yellow—allowing for efficient sample organization and tracking.

Whether you're scaling up from microtubes or seeking a more efficient replacement for standard 15mL tubes, WaysideLab MacroTubes provide unmatched clarity, performance, and convenience across a wide range of lab protocols.
