Culture Tubes
Culture tubes are laboratory consumable for liquid microbial culture, commonly used for the amplification culture of bacteria, fungi, yeast, etc. Compared with static culture, the shake culture can provide more sufficient oxygen supply, thereby improving cell density and culture efficiency.
Culture tubes for sale: 4 ml, 12 ml. PP/PS material. Individual/ 25 pcs/ 125pcs package.
MOQ: 1 CARTON.

FAQ of Tissue Culture Tubes
How are sterile culture tubes used in the laboratory?
- Prepare liquid culture medium (sterile culture medium such as LB or M9 is recommended) and inject the required volume into the shake tube, not exceeding 50% of its total volume.
- Sterilization: Autoclave at 121℃ for 20 minutes, and make sure the lid is loose to avoid pressure accumulation.
- Inoculate strains: Use an inoculation loop to inoculate the strain into the shake tube under sterile conditions.
- Close the lid or use a breathable membrane: If aeration culture is required, a breathable sealing membrane can be used instead of an ordinary lid.
- Shaking culture: Place the shake tube in a constant temperature shaker and set the appropriate temperature and speed (such as 37℃, 180 rpm) for shaking culture.
- Subsequent operations: After the culture is completed, it can be transferred to a centrifuge tube for bacterial precipitation or further analysis.
How to use a cell culture tube during plasmid extraction?
After configuring the reagents and transformation, the next day, observe the colony growth. Then add medium to the culturing tube. Gently pick out individual colonies and place them in the shaker tube, then start the shaking process.
Can the round bottom culture tubes be used with other experimental equipment?
Yes, the shake tube can be used with many experimental equipment, such as centrifuge tubes, micropipette tips, cell culture bottles, etc. According to the experimental needs, the shake tube can be used with these consumables to perform different experimental operations, such as cell culture, enzyme reaction, etc.
What are the advantages of bacterial culture tubes compared to ordinary test tubes?
The structural design of shake tubes is more suitable for dynamic culture. Its sealing, capacity and material are better than ordinary test tubes, and it can better support efficient dissolved oxygen and oscillation environment.
How to avoid bacterial liquid contamination?
Wear nitrile gloves during use and use an inoculation loop for aseptic operation. Sterilization of equipment and clean operating environment are key.
