XXTuff2 Reinforced Microvials

XXTuff2 Reinforced MicrovialsNew XXTuff2 microvial improves on BioSpec's proven reinforced vials. The new XXTuff2 microvials feature a skirted, free standing bottom that reduces blow outs to the bottom of the tube that can occur with some dry grinding protocols. The XXTuff2 microvial also features a natural colored cap. This eliminates the reddish tint some observed in their sample due to the abrasion of the red cap in the original XXTuff vials. Cat. No. 330TX821, XXTuff2 self

This specially reinforced vial is manufactured exclusively for BioSpec Products. The XXTuff2 microvial has the same dimensions as a standard 2 ml microcentrifuge vial with screw cap and o-ring seal. However, it is molded from a special polypropylene resin and has been reinforced in critical areas.

Unlike standard microvials, the XXTuff2 vial is able to withstand the rigors of dry grinding using steel beads*. Over 10 times more durable than a standard microvial.

*When doing CryoGrinding, a variant of dry-grinding done at liquid N2 temperatures, we recommend using our stainless steel microvials. Extreme cold makes all plastic microvials too brittle to withstand beadbeating with steel beads.
