MTC Bio 5 mL MacroTube® System – Professional Mid-Volume Solution

Bridge the gap between microcentrifuge and conical tubes with the MTC Bio 5 mL MacroTube® system, engineered for protocols where 1.5 mL is too small and 15 mL is unnecessarily large. These mid-volume tubes provide a streamlined, space-efficient format that supports modern workflows in molecular biology, cell culture, sample prep, and storage without sacrificing performance or safety.

Designed as a complete “end-to-end” platform, the MacroTube® system integrates tubes, racks, adapters, rotors, and freezer storage into a cohesive solution. Whether you are pipetting, centrifuging, incubating, or archiving samples, the 5 mL format helps reduce reagent waste, improve handling, and maintain consistent, reproducible results across your lab.

Snap-Cap and Screw-Cap Options for Every Workflow

The 5 mL MacroTube® line is available in both Snap-Cap and Screw-Cap formats, allowing you to match closure style to your specific application. Snap-Cap tubes support rapid access and high-throughput handling, while Screw-Cap tubes with secure sealing are ideal for boiling, transport, and extended storage.

Each tube is manufactured from high-quality materials and certified RNase- and DNase-free, with sterile configurations available for sensitive workflows. This combination of format flexibility and contamination control makes the MacroTube® system a reliable choice for nucleic acid work, protein prep, and general laboratory sample management.

• Snap-Cap tubes for fast, convenient access during routine pipetting and short incubations.
• Screw-Cap tubes for secure sealing during boiling, transport, and long-term storage protocols.
• Certified RNase- and DNase-free construction with sterile options to support sensitive molecular applications.

End-to-End System Integration for 5 mL Workflows

The MTC Bio 5 mL MacroTube® system is supported by a full suite of compatible accessories designed to simplify every step from setup to storage. Dedicated thermal mixer blocks, high-speed rotors, and adapters allow these tubes to fit seamlessly into existing 15 mL rotor cavities and benchtop instruments.

Freezer boxes and racks are tailored to the 5 mL footprint, helping you organize samples efficiently in cold storage while maintaining clear labeling and easy retrieval. Together, these components create a cohesive platform that reduces handling complexity and supports consistent, high-throughput lab operations.

• Dedicated thermal mixer blocks and high-speed rotors optimized for 5 mL MacroTube® formats.
• Adapters designed to fit 5 mL tubes into standard 15 mL rotor cavities for flexible instrument use.
• Freezer boxes and racks sized for 5 mL tubes to streamline cold storage organization and retrieval.
