microtubes
Small laboratory vessels
Microtubes are small plastic tubes used in laboratory settings, typically holding volumes from 0.5 to 2 milliliters.
They're essential equipment in molecular biology and biochemistry for storing, mixing, and centrifuging samples: She labeled the microtubes before pipetting the DNA samples.
Also called microcentrifuge tubes or Eppendorf tubes (after a major manufacturer).
