Sterile DI Water 5mL Tube, 10/Pk

This product provides Sterile Deionized (DI) Water in precision-filled 5mL tubes. Packaged in a convenient 10-pack, these "single-use" aliquots are designed to eliminate the contamination risks and measuring errors associated with pouring from large bulk carboys.

The "Unit Dose" Advantage: In sensitive microbiological and molecular protocols, water purity is the most common variable. These 5mL tubes offer a "fresh" water source for every application:

1. Zero Cross-Contamination: By using a new tube for each specific task, you eliminate the risk of introducing bacteria or nucleases into a main stock bottle. Once the tube is opened and used, it is discarded or designated for that specific sample only.

2. Dilution Ready: These pre-measured tubes are ideal for creating serial dilutions. If the tube capacity allows (e.g., a 10mL tube filled with 5mL liquid), samples can be added directly to the tube to create a defined dilution ratio without the need to pipette the diluent first.

3. Standardization: Removing the manual step of measuring out 5mL reduces technician variability, ensuring that every suspension or dilution starts with the exact same volume.

Common Applications:

• Bacterial Suspensions: Preparing organism suspensions for identification kits (e.g., API strips) or automated susceptibility testing systems that require a water inoculum.

• Reconstitution: hydration of small quantities of lyophilized antibiotics, enzymes, or QC strains.

• PCR & Molecular Biology: acting as a Nuclease-free water source (assuming the sterility process covers this) for setting up master mixes or negative controls.

• Precision Fill: 5mL aliquot reduces pipetting labor.

• Single-Use: Eliminates the risk of stock contamination.

• High Purity: Deionized to remove mineral interference.

• Sterile: Ready for microbiological applications.

• Format: Sterile 5mL screw-cap tubes in a pack of 10.
