DiaTEC Screw Cap Microtubes are ideal for long term use in a variety of situations. Manufactured to the most rigorous standards these products can be used in extremes of temperature: from the vapour phase of Liquid Nitrogen (LN₂) through to boiling applications. The O-ring cap is designed to be the perfect complement to the tube, thus ensuring a positive seal. The DiaTEC Screw Cap Microtube line of products is an ideal long term storage solution for your samples; due to the naturally low-binding properties of medical grade virgin polypropylene which is certified free from Dnase, Rnase & DNA and the leak-free seal.

 

Tested to over 20,000 xg these Microtubes are suitable for use in Molecular Biology applications. Due to the demands of the LAL test for pyrogens, only sterile tubes and caps are certified pyrogen free. These tubes are compatible with a wide range of centrifuge rotors, dry bath blocks, racks and storage systems.

 

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.

 

Potential Contamination and Testing Method

 

Impurities	Type	Source	Adverse Affects	Assay Method	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	Enzyme	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	<10 – 7 Kunitz u/ µl
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	< 0.06 EU/ml
