Do Eppendorf Safe-Lock Tubes Biobased differ in any aspect from their standard counterparts?

No, Eppendorf Safe-Lock Tubes Biobased are functionally equivalent to their counterparts made of standard material. They exhibit identical performance across all key parameters, including centrifugation stability, lid tightness, and chemical resistance. The tubes are manufactured to the same high purity standards and demonstrate equal assay performance. Testing across typical molecular and cell biology workflows — such as bacterial culture, sample storage, and PCR — confirmed no differences in functionality. Furthermore, the Biobased version maintains the same low levels of leachables, ensuring consistent sample integrity.

Are Eppendorf products free of RNA?

All products certified with "PCR clean" are tested free of human DNA, DNase, RNase and PCR inhibitors. The following applies from our point of view: Where no human DNA is detected, there can also be no RNA, which is considerably more unstable.

What is the meaning of the PCR Clean seal?

For molecular-biological requirements Eppendorf offers a new standard for uniform purity specifications. All consumables marked with the "Certified PCR Clean” label are guaranteed free of human DNA, DNase, RNase and PCR inhibitors.

What is the shelf life of Eppendorf Biopur products?

If the Biopur products are stored according to the information in the instruction manual they have a shelf life of 5 years. The minimum expiry date is printed on the label of the box.

Why are there double labels on the folding boxes, as "PCR clean" + "Sterile" or "PCR clean" + "Protein-free"?

Due to the modularization of purity grades, some products are labeled with more than one purity grade symbol. For example, the epDualfilter T.I.P.S. has the double seal "PCR clean "+ "Sterile" and the UVette the double seal "PCR clean" + "Protein-free" on the packing. The certification remains unaffected by the modularization.

Are lot specific certificates for the purity grades available in the internet?

Yes, the lot specific purity certificates, so-called Test report, can be downloaded at the certificates homepage .

Can products of the previous and new modular purity grades (with new seals) be used simultaneously in one application?

Yes, if no batch attachment is required for the application, products of the old and new modular purity grades can be used, as their specifications are the same.

What is the life expectancy of Eppendorf Tubes?

At least 5 years at a storage temperature of +5 to +35 °C. If unopened and properly stored Eppendorf Tubes have shelf-life of 8 Years (standard Eppendorf Quality) or 5 Years on a purity grade (Biopur, PCRclean, Sterile, Forensic DNA Grade, ). Please observe " Instruction for Use" for storage condition recommendations: - Instruction for Use (IFU) of Tubes - Conical tubes, SafeCode tubes and SnapTec tubes - Instruction for Use of 5 mL Tubes - Instruction für Use of LoBind Tubes

From what material are Eppendorf Tubes manufactured?

All Eppendorf Tubes are manufactured from virgin polypropylene. The used polypropylene (PP) fulfils the specifications of the FDA for the use of plastics for foodstuffs. During production, no slip agents, biocides, or plasticizers are used. Colorants are free of biological material, free of heavy metals, and free of melamine. No metal-based dyes are used. Please see General Quality Certificate for epT.I.P.S, Combitips ® advanced, ViscoTip, Tubes, Plates, UVette.

Do you offer siliconized micro test tubes?

Our tube assortment does not include coated or siliconized tubes. In order to keep sample loss caused by the adsorption of sample material on the tube wall to a minimum, we recommend using the Eppendorf Protein LoBind Tubes or Eppendorf DNA LoBind Tubes. These are made of a special type of polypropylene and are manufactured under optimized process conditions.

Is there a chemical resistance overview for the individual Tube types?

Yes. The Eppendorf Application Note 056 "The Best Material for Original Eppendorf Tubes ® and Plates: Properties and Chemical Resistance of Polypropylene" includes among other things a detailed material stability overview.

Can your micro test tubes be frozen at -80 °C?

Yes. Please refer to the operating manual.

Can your micro test tubes be coated with acrylic resin within the framework of a UV polymerization?

Yes, the tubes can withstand UV polymerization. However, we cannot give you any instructions for the procedure.

Can autoclaving inactivate bacterial endotoxin contamination in Eppendorf Tubes?

No. Bacterial endotoxins (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) are very stable and withstand normal autoclaving at 121 °C. To inactivate LPS, the objects have to be baked at 250 °C, which, of course, is not possible with plastics.

Are the Eppendorf Tubes anti-static?

Eppendorf tubes, including SafeCode tubes and all biobased tube variants, are not produced from antistatic material, i.e. they are basically not antistatic. But it should be noted that the use of antistatic agents during production will destroy or reduce the wettability of the tubes.

Which Eppendorf micro test tubes are free of DNA?

All micro test tubes designated with "PCR clean" are free of human DNA, DNase, RNase and PCR inhibitors. Our Safe-Lock micro test tubes are also available in the "Eppendorf Biopur" purity standard. Due to the special manufacturing processes and the individual blister-packaging, Biopur products are certified "DNA free".

What is the best way to label Eppendorf Tubes?

Tubes should be clean, free from grease and only labeled on the space provided. Water-resistant felt pens from Steadtler S and F, in black, are the most suitable for this. The writing should be left to dry for at least 2 min.

Do Eppendorf Tubes contain heavy metals?

Heavy metal values are available in the general "Certificate of Quality - Tubes - Trace metal". All the values are below the prescribed limits of the listed DIN norm.

Overview regarding the centrifugation resistance of Eppendorf Tubes

Please consult the "Instruction for Use" of the respective Tube.

Are the Eppendorf tubes autoclavable?

Yes, all Eppendorf tubes are autoclavable when open (20 min, 121 °C, 1 bar).

Are Safe-Lock micro test tubes safe for use in the food industry in USA?

The composition of the Safe-Lock micro test tubes (0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 mL) conforms to the specifications of the FDA regulation 21 CFR § 177,1520 "Olefin polymers". Please review the Certificate of Quality of Eppendorf Tubes and note: The suitability of a consumer item for the intended purpose, the influence of the taste and smell of the filled goods and the conformation to limits (e.g. global migration, specific limits and further analytical requirements) must be checked with the manufacturer or user in individual cases.

Are Safe-Lock micro test tubes safe for use in the food industry in Europe?

As Eppendorf Safe-Lock Tubes BioBased nos tamanhos 0,5 mL, 1,5 mL e 2,0 mL voltam a abrir novas portas a fim de tornar o trabalho de laboratório significativamente mais sustentável sem comprometer os resultados experimentais. Usando um polímero de base biológica de segunda geração feito a partir de 100 % de recursos renováveis (por exemplo, resíduos e descartes de refino de óleo vegetal ou óleo de cozinha residual), a pegada de carbono relacionada ao produto desses tubos foi significativamente reduzida. Os "Certificados Gerais de Qualidade" referentes à conformidade com as normas e os requisitos gerais de qualidade, os certificados de pureza específicos do produto e do lote, assim como os "ACT Certificates" (a certificação independente do fator de impacto ambiental por My Green Lab^®) certificam a conhecida qualidade de produto premium que se pode esperar do famoso "Eppi^®", aliada a um fator de sustentabilidade que se tornará claramente visível na pegada de carbono do seu laboratório com a utilização contínua destes tubos. Assim como ocorre com os nossos tubos Safe-Lock de base fóssil, é possível dizer adeus à perda de amostras preciosas durante a centrifugação, a incubação e o armazenamento! A excelente proteção oferecida pela tampa articulada Safe-Lock é da maior confiança, pois constitui o resultado de mais de 60 anos de melhoria e desenvolvimento contínuos. Além disso, os Safe-Lock Tubes BioBased contribuem com os seus esforços de tornar o laboratório mais sustentável.

Descarte dos Eppendorf Tubes^® BioBased e respectivo material de embalagem

A reciclagem de materiais vem se tornando cada vez mais importante. Na Europa, por exemplo, quase 100 % do material de cartão já é reciclado. O material de embalagem dos Eppendorf Tubes^® BioBased é composto por diferentes materiais, sobretudo papelão.
Os consumíveis Eppendorf e, portanto, os Eppendorf Tubes^® BioBased são enviados em embalagens e caixas de papelão dobráveis feitas de, pelo menos, 92 % de papelão reciclado.
Apoie a iniciativa global sustentável de reciclagem de matéria-prima valiosa coletando o material da embalagem de papelão dos tubos. Descarte o material da embalagem nos depósitos para coleta de resíduos localizados na sua instituição e na sua região.
Após o uso, os próprios tubos são definidos como potencialmente contaminados. Esta contaminação pode consistir em perigo biológico, químico ou mesmo nuclear. Portanto, a reciclagem desses tubos pode representar um verdadeiro desafio. Em muitos países, os resíduos críticos devem ser queimados devido a restrições legais. Contudo, a energia e o calor podem ser recuperados a partir da reciclagem térmica de consumíveis de laboratório contaminados.
A fim de reduzir a quantidade de resíduos plásticos críticos, é necessário usar pelo menos dois depósitos para resíduos: Um para resíduos críticos e outro para resíduos que não sejam críticos. Estes dois grupos podem ser definidos de forma diferente de acordo com os regulamentos locais; as informações relativas às definições aplicáveis devem ser devidamente comunicadas/transmitidas no laboratório. Para mais opções locais de reciclagem de resíduos, entre em contato com o seu responsável local pela biossegurança e a sua empresa de gestão de resíduos local.
Recomendamos vivamente um parceiro de reciclagem local certificado. Manter-se "local" viabiliza a redução do impacto ambiental causado pelo transporte; nesse sentido, a qualidade de "certificado" é recomendada em decorrência do descarte seguro e sustentável dos resíduos de laboratório.
