Durham Tubes: Precision for Microbial Culture

Our Durham Tubes are meticulously designed for scientific precision. With a thin wall for efficient heat transfer and a smooth, clear surface, they allow straightforward detection of gas production within microbial cultures. Their robust borosilicate glass construction ensures both chemical resistance and excellent temperature stability, making them a dependable addition to any laboratory setting.

Optimal Design and Reliable Durability

Measuring approximately 45 mm in length and 6 mm in diameter, each tube is shaped cylindrically and holds up to 0.6 ml. This design maximizes visibility and performance during experiments. Their transparent quality lets users quickly assess gas formation results, while the chemically resistant glass assures longevity and repeat use.

Safe, Versatile, and Easy to Sterilize

Durham Tubes are designed for easy sterilization, whether by autoclaving or using dry heat. Their material resists high temperatures up to 300C, and the tubes remain reusable without loss of integrity. Box packaging ensures safe storage and efficient handling, meeting high throughput laboratory needs.

FAQs of Durham Tube:

Q: How are Durham Tubes used for detecting gas formation in microbial cultures?

A: Durham Tubes are inserted upside down within a larger test tube containing the microbial culture medium. As microorganisms grow and produce gas, any released gas collects in the inverted Durham Tube, allowing straightforward visualization of gas production during experimentation.

Q: What sterilization process is recommended for Durham Tubes?

A: Durham Tubes can be sterilized using either an autoclave or by applying dry heat. Both methods effectively ensure sterile conditions for reuse, thanks to the tubes borosilicate glass construction that withstands temperatures up to 300C.

Q: When should I opt for thin-wall Durham Tubes in laboratory applications?

A: Thin-wall Durham Tubes are ideal when rapid heat exchange is essential, especially during thermal cycling or when frequent temperature changes are part of your microbial culture protocol. Their design ensures faster equilibration and clearer gas detection results.

Q: Where can Durham Tubes be used within a laboratory setting?

A: These tubes are compatible with standard laboratory test tubes and are primarily used in microbiology labs for the qualitative analysis of gas production. They are a staple for research institutions, clinical laboratories, and educational facilities across India and internationally.

Q: What are the benefits of using transparent, smooth-finish Durham Tubes?

A: The transparent and smooth finish of Durham Tubes provides clear observation of gas formation, minimizing potential reading errors. Their chemical resistance and durability also promote repeated use, making them a cost-effective solution for regular laboratory operations.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for Durham Tubes, and how are they packaged?

A: The minimum order quantity for these Durham Tubes is 100 pieces, and they are provided in box packaging to ensure safe delivery and convenient storage.
