Ah, so it seems my leash has finally been cut...

Back to the centrifuge tubes...specimen cups would also be a good option...a
larger diameter for a little more flexibility. I believe they hold 200-250
mL, depending on vendor. Stay with an all-plastic model....

PS: I've heard from the Trouts and M&K concerning their boxes (sorry again
for duplicate posts), but no word from Matt. Hey, ya out there??? (busy
Lbing instead of reading email??) I need to know about that box!!!

What a great idea! We use these at work (a clinical lab) and they are
indeed sturdy...I can vouch for that. My one warning is if the caps get
screwed down TOO tight they will crack (the round top will separate from the
serrated sides). Your price is very reasonable, too.

I placed my order for a case and expect to see them in about 10 days. If
anyone wants to see what they look like I have some pictures with more
information here:
http://www.catbeadmischief.com/microbox.html Some quick information: I
ordered the ones with a place to write on, so the cost will be higher at
2 for 29 plus shipping from me to you. Since this is my cost, there
will not be any sales tax for NY. If anyone wants to give them a try,
contact me off list or follow the email link on the above page on my
website.
