Culture tubes?
    #14347383 - 04/25/11 03:09 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Anyone know of a good source for cheap culture tubes? I like the KIMAX screw tops, but only because they have the screw top. The straight wall would be fine with me too, but I cant seem to find any caps that are autoclaveable, to go with them.

The KIMAX with the black screw tops are nice, but those things are expensive. Any other options?

I was looking at the 20x150mm tubes. Whats the typical size most folks are using?

Culture tubes are expensive. :frown:
Get the biggest you can, 25mm or bigger is nice.

I use the T406-2A & T416-2A, cheaper then glass and works great for all your
culture storage needs.

I have purchased a few hundred from members here on the board at
reasonable prices and traded for more over in the marketplace. Either
way they work wonders.

Are these autoclavable?

They are if you get the polypropylene tubes with lids.

Make SURE that is what you order as the polystyrene tubes will not
survive PCing obviously.

I prepare them using Mephisto's Master Slant Tek:

I just got a bunch of 4ML culture tubes from a friend recently, they
are big enough to get a scalpel inside to extract mycelium, but I am
not sure about long term storage with the smaller sizes.

If nothing else they would be great for sending wedges/slants to
people around the world.

That site doesnt sell directly. I found some on ebay, but the description specifically states that the caps are not autoclaveable. Are those a different brand? Different caps? Maybe they are just wrong?

Here are the ones I found Clicky

EDIT:

I just found these too. I really like the design. Not sure if they will hold up in a PC though. Does anyone know how hot it gets inside of those? The ad says that it has a "Glass Temperature" of 70-80 C. And a melting point of 260 C. Though Im not sure what "Glass Temperature" means.

Anyone know if these will work?

Those do not appear to be simport culture tubes.

As far as I understood you can buy direct from them(simport), but you must
buy at least a case or two.

The inside of a PC is roughly 252 °F at 15PSI.

Just messaged a friend based in the U.S to see where he purchases
his tubes from:

http://www.daigger.com/catalog/product/d-Tubes/Tubes/p-4640A/Cultubes%C2%99+Sterile+Culture+Tubes

The next supplier link is a Canadian company:

I have some that are much larger but I have an assload, like about 11,000
wheaton borosilicate sample vials, they're 11 Dram Vials (49 ml), 28x108
mm, they have phenolic caps and I believe it's the TFE liners, definately
autoclavable, the caps are short though, about 12mm tall as opposed to a
20mm tall cap

the look most like the large one
