XXTuff Reinforced Microvials
Product Description
Cat. No. 330TX, XXTuff non-sterile, reinforced 2 ml vial and cap, 500 count
This specially reinforced vial is manufacured exclusively for BioSpec Products. The XXTuff microvial looks like a standard 2 ml, screw cap with o-ring seal, microcentrifuge vial. However, it is molded from a special polypropylene resin and has been reinforced in critical areas.
Unlike standard microvials, the XXTuff vial is able to withstand the riggers of dry grinding using steel beads*. Tests show that the XXTuff vial is over 10 times more durable than a standard microvial.
*When doing CryoGrinding, a varient of dry-grinding done at liq N2 tempertures, we recommend using our stainless steel microvials. Exteme cold makes plastic microvials too brittle to withstand beadbeating with steel beads.
