PeformR® Freestanding Centrifuge Tubes
Our PerformR® freestanding centrifuge tubes combine reliable performance in major centrifuges. Spin rates higher than most popular brands. And high quality lab certified non cyto-toxic medical grade resin.
PerformR® tubes are printed using UV fixed inks that won't rub off like screen printed tubes from other suppliers. Graduations are tested for accuracy during every production lot.
PerformR® freestanding centrifuge tubes are available with a deep plug seal cap or an easy to label flat cap.
High Performance Centrifugation and Storage
PerformR® freestanding tubes are available in packaging styles for all your needs, including Patented fiber racks, sterile bulk bags, and non-sterile bulk bags. All our sterile products use medical grade packaging and are radiation sterilized following a validated ISO 11137 method to a sterility assurance level of 10-6.
PerformR® freestanding centrifuge tubes are designed for your everyday centrifugation and storage needs. These tubes include large white solvent resistant labeling areas and black easy to read graduations. They are available with either a flat cap that is easy to label or a plug style cap for other applications.
PerformR® tubes are available in sterile bags, non-sterile bags, and in bulk packages. All our sterile products use medical grade packaging and are radiation sterilized following a validated ISO 11137 method.

Endotoxin Free (Non pyrogenic) Product samples are exposed to endotoxin-free water and the resulting extraction fluid is tested for contamination using the kinetic turbidimetric Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay protocol and USP guidelines. All products tested must display less than 0.05 EU/ml to be certified free of endotoxin. |
 |
Nuclease Free (RNase/DNase) Product samples are exposed to nuclease-free water and the resulting extraction fluid is tested for nuclease activity on commercially available 7.5 kb Poly(A) tailed RNA (1µg) and HindIII-digested DNA (1µg) with a one hour 37°C incubation in appropriate buffers. Results are visualized on an agarose gel with appropriate positive and negative controls. Extraction fluid samples must show no degradation of the nucleic acids by the extraction fluid has occurred for the product to be certified as RNase-free and DNase-free |
 |
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Product sample surfaces are tested for the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using a controlled bioluminescence reaction to detect contamination. Luminescence data is compared to results generated by ATP-free surfaces and surfaces with known amounts of ATP as a positive control. The relative light units result must indicate less than 2 X 10-12 mg/µl of ATP for the product to be certified as ATP free. |
 |
Heavy Metals Free Heavy metals have been tested for using the prescribed USP method and confirmed to have levels lower than 1 part per million (1ppm) |
 |
Validated Sterilization Labcon products are sterilized by radiation sterilization within a dose range of 12-35 kGy. The dose range necessary for the stated sterility assurance level is continuously audited through quarterly bio-burden and sterility validation studies performed according to the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137 standard by an independent laboratory. This dosage is sufficient to guarantee a sterility assurance level of 10-6. |
