Eppendorf LoBind Microcentrifuge Tubes

The new Eppendorf LoBind Microcentrifuge Tubes improve recovery by reducing sample-to-tube binding without the use of any coatings or additives. A combination of specially developed technology and the purest, select polypropylene ensures nearly 100% recovery of DNA/RNA and minimal protein loss (>3%, BSA 1 microgram per mL). All LoBind tubes are Eppendorf-certified PCR clean, free of DNA, DNase, RNase, and ATP. Tubes are packaged in bags of 50 to help further reduce contamination.

Tubes feature a hinged Safe-Lock lid to prevent accidental lid openingduring incubation. There is precise lid sealing for the lowestevaporation rates during long-term storage. The tubes are rated up to18,000 x g centrifugation speed for molecular biology applications.

Protein LoBind tubes are specifically designed for use in proteomics or other fields of protein research where protein concentrations tend to be very small and sample recovery is vital for assay results. Significantly more protein can be recovered for downstream analyses and enzymes remain active because they are not denatured by any tube-surface interactions. Eppendorf Protein LoBind tubes are ideal for preparation or storage of protein, peptide, antibody or virus samples.

DNA LoBind tubes improve recovery of nucleic acids by reducing their adsorption to the tube wall. A combination of special manufacturing technologies and selected polypropylene batches ensures nearly 100% recovery of DNA/RNA molecules. Eppendorf DNA LoBind tubes are ideal for sample preparation or long-term storage of nucleic acids in forensic, microarrays, next generation sequencing applications.

LoBind material guarantees maximum sample recovery for improved assay results. They are free of surface coating to eliminate the risk of sample interference. They are also certified free of DNA, DNase, RNase and PCR inhibitors (PCR clean).

Frequently asked questions

How much sample loss reduction do LoBind tubes provide?

LoBind surface treatment significantly reduces sample loss compared to standard tubes, with recovery improvements most evident for limited sample quantities.

What sample types benefit most from LoBind tubes?

DNA, RNA, proteins, and other high-value molecular biology samples benefit most from low-retention surfaces during centrifugation and storage.

Are LoBind tubes available in different volumes?

Yes. Eppendorf offers LoBind tubes in 0.5 mL, 1.5 mL, 2 mL, and other standard microcentrifuge volumes.

What closure options are available?

Both snap-cap and screw-cap options are available to match your application requirements and safety protocols.

Are these tubes suitable for long-term sample storage?

Yes. The low-retention surface design makes LoBind tubes ideal for both centrifugation and extended sample storage at -20C and -80C.
