Can I use Eppendorf micro test tubes for my application, the incubation of 6 N HCl and 1 % phenol at 105 °C for 20 h?
“As far as the reagents are concerned, our micro test tubes are suitable for your application. However, if the temperature is too high, too intense heating of the material generally leads to the uncontrolled popping off of the tube lid. In order to avoid this application problem, we have specially designed the Safe-Lock micro test tube, which guarantees a more stable lid seal even at high temperatures (just under 100°C) with a small hook under the lid. This means that, should you be able to carry out your application at a slightly lower temperature, our Safe-Lock micro test tube is ideally suited.
