Eppendorf Tubes® 5.0 mL
Eppendorf Tubes are the benchmark for simple and safe sample preparation from 0.5 to 2.0 mL. For larger volumes, 15 mL and 50 mL conical tubes are available. With medium sample volumes you may face an issue: they need to be processed with large conical screw cap tubes - impractical, inconvenient and often prone to contamination. Eppendorf now offers the "missing link": the Eppendorf Tube 5.0 mL. This product fills the gap bet…

Perfect!! Clean alternative to 15 ml tubes for volumes from 2.5 to 5 ml. [Original text: Perfekt!! Saubere Alternative zu 15 ml Tubes für Volumen von 2,5 bis 5 ml.]
Cell culture
A very good innovation. We have an excellent application in cell culture with 5 ml screw caps. [Original text: Ein sehr gute Inovation. 5 ml Schraubdeckel finden bei uns eine hervorragnde Anwendung in der Zellkultur.]

Very useful.
Centrifugation of bacterial cultures
These tubes are very useful, with their volumes intermediate between falcon tubes and the smaller eppendorf tube sizes. In particular, we found them to be very useful when handling bacterial cell cultures and they are compatible with swinging bucket Eppendorf centrifuges, allowing the cultures to be spun down.

Perfect!
Cell culture
For cell culture the best tube is between 2 ml an 15 ml. No contaminations between samples. Perfect.

Great product and much needed.
Storing aliquots of buffer
I use these to store aliquots of 10x buffers from 1 to 5mL. Sometimes 1.5mL tubes are too small and 15mL tubes are too large. These fill a necessary niche for volumes from 1 to 5mL.

Eppendorf Tubes are my absolute favourite, hands down!
Molecular biology/microbiology/consumables
The perfect tubes for volumes larger than standard 2 mL microcentrifuge tubes, but smaller than 15 mL Falcon tubes. The locking caps are perfect, and I never have to worry about lids popping when heating samples. For more volatile solvents or higher temperatures, the caps can be secured further with clips to ensure they won’t pop off. Tubes are now available in both flick cap, and twist cap which provides so much versatility. Accurate graduations on the side of the tube for quick estimation of volume. There are options for sterile and non-sterile tubes, but they autoclave just fine if you get the non-sterile tubes. Capable of withstanding high forces in the centrifuge and the weights of the tubes are fairly consistent making balancing simpler.

A buck well spent, but avoid Eppendorf's customer service
Lipid peroxidation
Honestly, I don't like eppendorf because I had some really bad customer care from their behalf. But this product is really good quality. Pretty much all their tubes have the same weight (+/- 000,1 - I was bored and weighted a few) and can take a high temp in the waterbath or in the autoclave. So, as far I can say, a buck well spent. Too bad their customer service is one of the worst.

Highly recommended
Cell Culture and Sample Prep
Highly recommended, easy to use and ideal for those medium sized sample volumes where a 1.5ml tube is too small and a 15ml way too big. The availability of snap cap and screw cap 5.0 ml size enable the optimal choice for different requirements in sample preparation, incubation, storage, or other applications.

Brilliant Product
Proteomics and Cytomics
What a life saver. It’s a brilliant product. perfect size for bit bigger dilutions as always had to rely on 15ml falcon tubes before. Lid locks are an advantage as well. I am using the Protein Lo-bind 5ml tubes and had no issues yet. A must to have consumable in Lab

Great results, would recommend these tubes to any lab!
Sample prep for western blots
This product works great. The tubes are sturdy and well made....they won't crack in the centrifuge like some products from other companies have done.

General Labware
The 5 ml tube is ideal to prepare solutions in a slightly bigger volume but not too big like a 15 ml tube. It works perfectly as a normal eppendorf tube and is ideal to use with 1000ul pipette too.

With medium sample volumes you may face an issue: they need to be processed with large conical screw cap tubes - impractical, inconvenient and often prone to contamination. Eppendorf now offers the "missing link": the Eppendorf Tube 5.0 mL. This product fills the gap between existing tube versions and enables the simple and safe processing of sample volumes up to 5.0 mL!
