Which Configuration Do I Need?

T1111 PS or T1121 PP; 5,000 tubes per case.

8 mL | 13 × 100 mm

T1411 PS or T1421 PP; 3,000 tubes per case.

Caps are separate

MTC lists T1211-C for 12 mm tubes and T1411-C for 13 mm tubes. Neither is included.

A Tube-Only Format for High-Volume Work

Select by outside dimensions and material rather than nominal volume alone. These tubes have no graduations and are supplied non-sterile. For T1421, the manufacturer page lists 10 bags of 300 while the workbook lists 6 bags of 500; both total 3,000. Confirm the inner-bag split if it matters to your workflow.

Typical Applications

General non-aseptic sample handling
Teaching laboratory demonstrations
Bench preparation where uncapped, non-graduated tubes are appropriate

Confirm material compatibility and your method’s requirements before use. No additional performance or regulatory certification is implied.

Practical Bench Tip

Use a rack matched to the tube diameter and height. Do not assume a published centrifuge rating or heat tolerance: neither is specified for this family on the reviewed page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these an alternative to Falcon 5 mL round-bottom tubes?

T1211 and Falcon 352003 share 5 mL nominal capacity, polystyrene material and 12 × 75 mm dimensions. The important difference is supply format: Falcon 352003 is sterile, individually wrapped and includes a dual-position snap cap; T1211 is non-sterile, uncapped and bulk packed. Do not substitute it into a sterile or capped protocol without changing and validating the method. Trademarks belong to their respective owners; comparison does not imply endorsement, affiliation or common manufacturing origin.

Are caps included?

No. This listing contains tubes only. T1211-C and T1411-C plug caps are separate products.

Which material should I choose?

The supplier describes PS as crystal clear and PP as translucent. Select based on visibility and verified chemical compatibility with your sample.

Are these sterile?

No. The manufacturer explicitly supplies this tube family non-sterile.

Do the tubes have volume graduations?

No. They are non-graduated; use separate calibrated equipment to measure volume.

What are the case quantities?

3 mL: 5,000. 5 mL: 4,000. 8 mL: 3,000 tubes per case.

How is T1421 bagged?

The current manufacturer table says 10 bags of 300; the workbook says 6 bags of 500. Both total 3,000. Confirm inner-bag quantity before ordering if critical.

Can these be centrifuged or autoclaved?

No RCF or validated autoclave specification is established on the reviewed page. Do not infer one from material or appearance.

Compatible accessory: MTC Bio plug caps (caps only). T1211-C plug caps fit the 12 mm MTC tube formats T1111, T1121, T1211 and T1221; T1411-C plug caps fit the 13 mm MTC tube formats T1411 and T1421. Tubes and caps are sold separately. This catalog-specific match does not establish cross-brand fit, a leak-proof seal or sterile cap supply.
