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?

Les Eppendorf Safe-Lock Tubes BioBased dans les formats 0,5 mL, 1,5 mL et 2,0 mLouvrent aussi de nouvelles possibilités pour améliorer la durabilité du travail en laboratoire sans sacrifier le résultat des expériences. Le recours à des polymères biosourcés de seconde génération obtenus à hauteur de 100 % à partir de ressources renouvelables (p. ex. déchets et résidus de raffinage d’huile végétale ou d’huile de friture usagée) permet de réduire considérablement l’empreinte carbone de ces tubes. Les « Certificats généraux de qualité » pour la conformité aux normes et aux exigences de qualité générales, les certificats de pureté liés aux produits et aux lots ainsi que « ACT Certificates » (la certification indépendante du facteur d’impact environnemental décernée par My Green Lab^®) certifient l’excellente qualité que vous pouvez attendre des « Eppis^® » ˗ combinée à un facteur de durabilité qui se reflètera clairement sur l’empreinte carbone de votre laboratoire si vous utilisez ces tubes sur la durée. Comme pour nos tubes Safe-Lock à base fossile, vous pouvez dire adieu aux pertes d’échantillons précieux lors de la centrifugation, de l’incubation et du stockage ! Ayez confiance dans la protection exceptionnelle offerte par le couvercle à charnière Safe-Lock, résultat de plus de 60 ans d’optimisation et de développement continus. Par ailleurs, les Safe-Lock Tubes BioBased sont une solution concrète en matière de respect de l’environnement dans votre laboratoire.

Mise au rebut des Eppendorf Tubes^® BioBased et de leur emballage

Le recyclage des matériaux gagne en importance chaque jour. Par exemple, près de 100 % du carton est déjà recyclé en Europe. L’emballage du Eppendorf Tubes^® BioBased est composé de différents matériaux – pour la plupart en carton.
Les consommables Eppendorf et donc aussi les Eppendorf Tubes^® BioBased sont expédiés dans des emballages dans lesquels le carton d’expédition sont composés d’au moins 92 % de carton recyclé.
Nous vous remercions de nous soutenir dans notre effort global de durabilité qui consiste à recycler les précieuses matières premières : collectez les emballages en carton de vos tubes. Jetez l’emballage dans les poubelles de collecte indiquées par votre organisation et votre région.
Après leur utilisation, les tubes eux-mêmes sont considérés comme potentiellement contaminés. Cette contamination peut être associée à des risques biologiques, chimiques voire même nucléaires. Par conséquent, le recyclage de ces cuves peut s’avérer difficile. Dans nombre de pays, les déchets critiques doivent être brûlés en raison de restrictions légales. Cependant, l’énergie et la chaleur peuvent être récupérées par le recyclage thermique des consommables contaminés de laboratoire.
Pour réduire la quantité de déchets critiques de matières plastiques, vous devez utiliser au moins deux poubelles de collecte : L’une pour les déchets critiques et l’autre pour les déchets non critiques. La définition de ces deux catégories peut dépendre des réglementations locales. Elle doit être communiquée et le personnel formé en conséquence dans votre laboratoire. Pour plus de solutions locales de recyclage des déchets, veuillez contacter votre responsable local de la biosécurité et votre service local de gestion des déchets.
Nous recommandons vivement de faire appel à un partenaire local certifié en matière de recyclage. Privilégier le « local » réduit l’impact du transport, et l’aspect « certifié » est recommandé en raison du traitement sûr et durable des déchets de laboratoire.
