How to Choose the Right Screw Cap Tube for Your Lab

In any modern laboratory, the smallest details can have the biggest impact. From storing sensitive samples to ensuring contamination-free research, screw cap tubes are indispensable. However, with so many options available, choosing the right one can be confusing.

At AHN Biotechnologie GmbH, we design and manufacture premium-quality screw cap tubes that combine innovation, safety, and reliability—built to meet the most demanding research and clinical requirements. Let’s explore the key features that make Screw Cap Tubes stand out. Are your existing tubes equipped with comparable advantages?

PRODUCT FEATURES

1. Look for Advanced Sealability and Leakproof Design

One of the most important features to consider is the seal quality. AHN myTube® screw cap tubes feature an infused O-ring design that provides superior sealability and leakproof stability compared to traditional O-rings that loosen over time. This ensures your samples stay secure, even under extreme conditions, and reduces the risk of leaks during centrifugation or transport.

2. Prioritize Safety and Cross-Contamination Prevention

Sample safety is paramount. The unique O-ring-infused design not only prevents leaks but also drastically reduces sample evaporation and cross-contamination risks. This means greater reliability in experimental results and better preservation of valuable samples.

3. Ensure Sterility and Purity

Sterility is non-negotiable for high-quality lab work. AHN myTube® screw cap tubes are fully autoclavable, and sterility is assured (SAL 10⁻⁶), ensuring absolute sterility for every application.

Manufactured in a fully automated Class 100K cleanroom, our tubes, caps, and O-rings undergo no secondary assembly operations, minimizing contamination risks due to manual handling.

4. Evaluate Withstanding Capacity

Different laboratory procedures require varying centrifugation speeds. Choose tubes that can handle high g-forces without deformation or leakage. AHN Bio’s screw cap tubes are designed to withstand up to 20,000 g RCF, ensuring consistent performance even under extreme centrifugation conditions.

5. Match the Tube Size and Variant to Your Workflow

Selecting the right size and type makes your lab work more efficient. AHN Biotechnologie GmbH offers a versatile range of 0.5 mL, 1.5 mL, and 2 mL tubes with multiple options, including amber, low-retention, skirted, and conical formats. Whether you’re working with light-sensitive samples or viscous solutions, there’s a variant to suit your specific need.

6. Check for Quality Certifications

A trustworthy screw cap tube should come with the right certifications. AHN myTube® screw cap tubes are rigorously tested and certified RNase-free, DNase-free, endotoxin-free, and PCR inhibitor-free, ensuring uncompromised sample integrity during critical molecular biology applications.

7. Confirm Leak Testing and Compliance Standards

We don’t just guarantee leakproof performance, we prove it. Each screw cap tube is IATA-certified following extensive leak testing that meets international safety and reliability requirements, giving you complete assurance during transport.
