FlipTube® A 1.5 mL Industries first automatable microcentrifuge tube

Increase your productivity with the automation friendly microtube; FlipTube® A 

The FlipTube® A from Hamilton Robotics is an innovative solution for automation friendly 1.5 mL microtubes,that eliminates the bottleneck of manually opening and closing the lid of standard microtubes.

FlipTube® A is designed to automate the opening/closing of the lid by a controlled automated process,that applies a stepwise gentle pressure on the rear end of the hinged lid, enabling a fully walkaway automated process.

Contamination-free and safety workflow Most commonly used microtubes cannot be automated, as they need to be opened and closed to complete the process. Users who work with infectious / toxic materials or volatile liquids may face an issue:Samples need to be processed manually in a micro tube or with screw-cap tubes. For large numbersof samples, this is very inconvenient, impractical, and often susceptible to contamination.The FlipTube® A can be opened and closed automatically as needed, according to the specific application.This offers a fully walk away automation process, that was not possible prior to this. Automated closing andopening of FlipTubes enhances sample safety, which may be effected due to evaporationor spills of infectious/ toxic materials.

As a standalone consumable, the FlipTube® A significantly reduces also the riskof sample contamination, as during the opening process, the thumb nevercomes into contact with the inner side of the tube lid.The FlipTube® A is available for guaranteed purity additionally in Biological purity tested and in Biological purityPLUS grade.


  • Made from highly transparent polypropylene for easy optical control
  • Contamination-free opening manually or by FlipTube® Tool
  • Precise lid sealing to minimize sample evaporation
  • Easy marking due to large frosted lid and surface on the side
  • Available in Biological purity tested and Biological purity PLUS qualityfor guaranteed purity
