Chrom Tech Spin Filter Tubes provide a fast and efficient method for small-volume sample filtration. Each unit consists of a sample chamber and receiver tube, enabling easy separation during centrifugation. Available with various membrane options, these filters are ideal for bacteria or particle removal, HPLC sample preparation, cell separation, and DNA recovery from agarose or acrylamide gels.

The tubes are clearly graduated and feature a dual-purpose cap that seals the sample chamber during centrifugation and the receiver tube afterward. While supplied non-sterile, they are autoclavable at 121 °C (250 °F) and 15 psi for 15 minutes for reuse in sterile workflows.

Chrom Tech Filter Plates and Tubes can also be provided as sterile and DNase/RNase & Protease-free certified plastics. Contact Chrom Tech for a custom quote on sterile and certified centrifuge filter configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are spin filter tubes used for?

Spin filter tubes are used for quick and efficient filtration of small-volume samples in centrifuges, supporting applications such as particle removal, HPLC sample prep, and DNA cleanup.

Are the spin filter tubes sterile?

Standard Chrom Tech spin filter tubes are non-sterile, but sterile and DNase/RNase & protease-free certified versions are available upon request.

Can I autoclave these filter tubes?

Yes. The tubes can be autoclaved at 121 °C (250 °F) and 15 psi for 15 minutes without compromising material integrity or filter performance.
