ViewPoint® tubes are a tool to help you track the real-time temperature of your samples when doing bench work or transferring samples to storage. ViewPoint centrifuge tubes visably signal the temperature of the tube and contents. Shifting to dark blue when the temperature of tube contents is below 0°C. This helps you keep better control over your work and can improve processing times. 
ViewPoint® Tubes have exclusive features and are Patents Pending worldwide. The three color tube labeling graphics are copyrights, trademarks, and trade dress of Labcon.
ViewPoint® tubes are available in packaging styles for all your needs, including our exclusive IntegraPack® 10 tube Sterile packs, Patented fiber racks, and non-sterile bulk bags (1.5mL). All our sterile products use medical grade packaging and are radiation sterilized following a validated ISO 11137 method to a sterility assurance level of 10-6.
ViewPoint® tubes transition from clear to blue when exposed to cold temperatures. This multi-step and reversible thermochromic transition offers real-time temperature signaling to indicate fluctuations above and below 4°C. At 5° C and above ViewPoint® tubes are clear and transparent. At 4°C ViewPoint® tubes transition to light blue and become slightly opaque. At 0°C ViewPoint® tubes reach their full progressive transition to dark blue, are completely opaque, and provide protection from Ultraviolet (UV) light.
ViewPoint® tubes are offered in 1.5 mL, 15 mL, and 50 mL size tubes in sterile and none sterile packaging.

Features
ViewPoint® tubes are a tool to help you track the real-time temperature of your samples when doing bench work or transferring samples to storage. ViewPoint® centrifuge tubes visably signal the temperature of the tube and contents. Shifting to dark blue when the temperature of tube contents is below 0°C. This helps you keep better control over your work and can improve processing times.
ViewPoint® Tubes have exclusive features and are Patents Pending worldwide. The three color tube labeling graphics are copyrights, trademarks, and trade dress of Labcon.
ViewPoint® tubes are available in packaging styles for all your needs, including our exclusive IntegraPack® 10 tube Sterile packs, Patented fiber racks, and non-sterile bulk bags (1.5mL). All our sterile products use medical grade packaging and are radiation sterilized following a validated ISO 11137 method to a sterility assurance level of 10-6.
ViewPoint® tubes transition from clear to blue when exposed to cold temperatures. This multi-step and reversible thermochromic transition offers real-time temperature signaling to indicate fluctuations above and below 4°C. At 5° C and above ViewPoint® tubes are clear and transparent. At 4°C ViewPoint® tubes transition to light blue and become slightly opaque. At 0°C ViewPoint® tubes reach their full progressive transition to dark blue, are completely opaque, and provide protection from Ultraviolet (UV) light.
ViewPoint® tubes are offered in 1.5 mL, 15 mL, and 50 mL size tubes in sterile and none sterile packaging.
A large number of protocols require chilled cells and/or chilled solvents. In these protocols samples and solutions are chilled for 30 minutes, 3 hours, or overnight. ViewPoint™ signals that a sample is chilled to 0 – 4°C. Efficient chilling reduces incubation time, saving researchers time in a busy workflow.
It is critical to reduce the formation of ice crystals when working with aqueous samples. Ice crystals begin to form at 0 – 4°C and damage cells. ViewPoint® tubes begin transitioning from clear to light blue at 4°C with full dark blue signaling at 0°C. Real-time temperature signaling alerts the researcher to potentially harmful ice crystal formation and enables the maintenance of the desired temperature throughout experimentation.
When fully dark blue (0°C) ViewPoint® tubes provide added protection from Ultraviolet (UV) light. Unlike other tinted products, ViewPoint® tubes become opaque at 0°C and provide protection from UV, eliminating the need for wrapping tubes in aluminum foil to shield sensitive samples from light radiation. Without a bulky aluminum foil wrap, ViewPoint® tubes fit perfectly into racks and can be clearly labeled on the frosted writing surface.
