Environmentally Friendly:
All DiaTEC products are made out of 100% recyclable plastics. Diamed has been conscious about the environment for over a decade, long before it became popular--or cool--to be green. That is why we do our best to respect our planet.
DiaTEC Snap Cap Microtubes have been carefully designed, engineered and manufactured to deliver maximum performance, convenience, versatility and reliability. The superior design is confirmed by exacting quality control testswhich ensure the tubes exceed all centrifuge manufacturer’s specifications. These products have a “positive seal” design and are recommended for use and/or storage between – 90o and 121o C
DiaTEC Product Testing
All DiaTEC products are manufactured from the finest raw materials using precise production techniques that provide consistent quality performance. All primary products are made from virgin polymers and contain no recycled, reprocessed, or altered plastics that might introduce contamination or defects. All tubes are manufactured under stringent controls in an ISO 9001:2008 certified facility.
Every lot of each product can be traced to the corresponding raw materials and production date. In addition to continual in-process control monitoring, all product lots are sampled after packaging and tested in our quality control laboratory as well as independent laboratories. The result is a contaminant-free product of the highest quality.
· RNase/DNase-Free
· Human DNA and PCR Inhibitor-Free
· Non-pyrogenic
Autoclaving Recommendation
· Autoclavable at 121° C & 15 psi for 15 minutes
1. No dry heat autoclaving.
2. Ensure water reservoir is full.
3. Allow plastic to cool to 80° C before removing from autoclave container.

Assay Specifications
Dnase
Enzyme
Human contact, saliva
Degraded sample following purification and PCR assays
· Products rinsed in LAL reagent water
· Product extracts exposed to DNA standard in a fixed volume of buffer
· DNA standard incubated at 37°C for 1 hour
· DNA samples run on agarose gel and evaluated for degradation
<10 – 7 Kunitz u/ µl
Rnase
Human contact, oils from hands, face, arms & hair
Could destroy RNA, the template cDNA synthesis, TR-PCR and other assays
· Similar to DNase test, except product extracts are exposed to an RNA standard in a fixed volume of buffer
DNA
Nucleic Acid
All Living Organisms
False-positive results in DNA applications
· Product rinsed in LAL reagent water
· Product extracts are subjected to a PCR reaction using human and mouse genomic DNA primers for 52 cycles
· Samples run on agarose gel and evaluated for the presence of amplification. A 90 bp positive control is run in parallel with the test samples
No amplicons detected
Pyrogen
Endotoxin
Bacteria found universally in air, soil & human contact
Contamination of drug manufacture, cell culture, purification & medical testing
· Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) test method utilized per USFDA (1987; USP 23 NF 18, 1994)
· Product extracts are tested by Gel Cloth Method for 1 hour in endotoxin-screened distilled water
· LAL test results include negative and positive controls, standard endotoxin control, and product extracts
· After a fixed incubation period, the reaction mixture is observed. The test is positive if a clot has formed and remains intact at the bottom of the tube after a 180° inversion
