Description
The Eppendorf Safe-Lock Tubes BioBased in the sizes 0.5 mL, 1.5 mL and 2.0 mL open up again new doors to make laboratory work significantly more sustainable without jeopardizing experimental results. By using a second-generation biobased polymer made from 100 % renewable resources (e.g. waste and residues from vegetable oil refining or waste cooking oil; mass balance approach: 100 % biobased PP in the tube) the product-related carbon footprint of these tubes was significantly reduced. "General Quality Certificates" on compliance with standards and general quality requirements, product-specific and lot-specific purity certificates as well as "ACT Labels" (the independent environmental impact factor validation by My Green Lab®) certify the well-known premium product quality you can expect from your well-known "Eppi®" ˗ combined with a sustainability factor that will clearly be visible in your laboratory carbon footprint with continuous use of these tubes. The packaging is based on 500 tubes per bag (bulk concept) to save resources and is secured by cardboard made of at least 92% recycling material. As with our fossil-based Safe-Lock Tubes you can say goodbye to precious sample loss during centrifugation, incubation and storage! Feel confident in the outstanding protection offered by the hinged Safe-Lock lid, the result of over 60 years of continuous improvement and development. Additionally, Safe-Lock Tubes BioBased support you in your efforts to become visibly more environmentally friendly in the laboratory.
Traceability along the entire supply chain enabled through ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification); ACT (Acccountability, Consistence, and Transparency) Certification – the independent validation provided by My Green Lab®; Lot-specific purity certificates from an independent laboratory can be downloaded from the Eppendorf website; general certificates on compliance with standards and general Eppendorf quality requirements.
g-Safe®: Depending on Safe-Lock Tube volume (see manual) exceptional centrifugation stability up to 30,000 × g prevents sample loss due to tube breakage and provides extra safety when working with hazardous samples
Hinged Eppendorf Safe-Lock lid prevents unintentional lid opening during incubation and storage, precise lid sealing for minimal evaporation rates during long-term storage, frosted lid and surface on the side for easy labeling
Manufactured without the use of slip agents, plasticizers, and biocides ˗ substances that have been shown to leach from plastic consumables into the sample and negatively affect bio-assay results
Biobased polypropylene provides high resistance to chemicals, mechanical stress and temperature extremes
Support you in achieving your sustainability goals in the lab, reduce your lab carbon footprint! Produced from recycled feedstock in 2nd generation, derived from waste and residue stream e. g. from used cooking oil and industrial used cooking oil production
Ensured functionality from -86 °C to 100 °C
Autoclavable when open (121 °C, 20 min)
Tube volumes of 0.5 mL, 1.5 mL, 2.0 mL each available in lot-certified PCR clean purity grade and in Eppendorf Quality
