1.5 ml RINO Tubes, RNase/DNase free, pack of 500
Why use RINO™ tubes?
RINO tubes have a screw-cap so they seal more tightly and
provide an extra layer of protection against sample loss. An O-Ring in the lid
also helps to prevent the release of aerosols that may form during
homogenization.
What model Bullet
Blenders can I use with RINO™ tubes?
RINO tubes can be used in 3ISBBX24 (standard), 3ISBBX24B
(Bullet Blender Blue) and 3ISBBY24M (Bullet Blender Storm) models.
DO NOT use RINO tubes in screw-cap model Bullet Blenders
that use TUBE1.5AX-S -Axygen® (3ISBBX24W or 3ISBBX24BW).
What do I need to use
RINO™ tubes?
Use of these tubes in a snap-cap style homogenizer requires
a RINO lid gasket. All BBX24, BBX24B and BBY24M model homogenizers will arrive
with a labeled RINO lid gasket installed. These instruments will still come
with a labeled Eppendorf® gasket so you have the option of using Safe-Lock™
tubes. For customers who only have an Eppendorf® gasket, we will provide the
replacement lid gasket free of charge with the first order of RINO tubes or
kits for a limited time. Please contact customer support to request a RINO
gasket.
How do I change the
gasket on my Bullet Blender?
Switching back and forth between lid gaskets is easy – just
remove the three screws with a Phillips head screwdriver and gently lift off
the gasket. Place the second
gasket in the correct orientation on the lid and insert the screws. Do not
overly-tighten the screws when installing a gasket.
Can I get Bead Lysis
Kits in RINO™ tubes?
Yes you can! Please see our Bead Lysis Kit page for details.
What protocols should
I use for RINO tubes?
Our protocols work with either tube type: snap-cap or RINO.
