Key Features and "smART" Characteristics

The BIRR 14ml tube is engineered with specific functional benefits, often referred to as "smART" characteristics, to enhance laboratory efficiency and safety:

• Dual-Position Safety Cap: The unique polyethylene cap supports both vented and sealed positions, ensuring adequate gassing of stored solutions while its design prevents accidental sealing.
• One-Handed Operability: For practical use in busy lab environments, the tube is designed for easy one-handed opening and closing.
• Precision Monitoring: Each tube features a moulded measuring scale for accurate volume assessment.
• Universal Compatibility: With dimensions of 17 x 95mm, these tubes are compatible with most standard warming blocks and silicon stoppers.

Rigorous Quality Assurance

Safety is paramount in ART procedures. Every lot of BIRR 14ml Round Bottom Tubes undergoes comprehensive testing to ensure a stable environment for biological specimens:

• Certified Testing: Every lot is tested for MEA (Mouse Embryo Assay), LAL (Endotoxin), and SMA (Sperm Motility Assay).
• Sterility Standards: The tubes maintain a high sterility assurance level (irradiation) of 10^6.
• Medical Grade Materials: The tube is constructed from high-quality polystyrene (PS) with a polyethylene (PE) lid.
