4.0 mL Conical Bottom Sample Cups — Polystyrene, Red, 1000/Bag (127-0066-R10)
These 4.0 mL freestanding sample cups feature a conical bottom and are molded from red polystyrene, supplied non-sterile in bulk packaging of 1000 per bag for high-throughput clinical and research workflows. The freestanding base allows cups to stand upright on the benchtop without a rack, while the conical bottom promotes efficient sample collection and pipette access at the lowest point of the cup. Part number 127-0066-R10 is well suited for routine aliquoting, specimen handling, and color-coded sample organization.

Material & Chemical Resistance
Polystyrene is a rigid, cost-effective material well suited to aqueous samples, standard biological buffers, and dilute aqueous reagents commonly encountered in clinical and research laboratories. As with all PS labware, exposure to acetone, alcohols above 70%, and aromatic or chlorinated solvents should be avoided, as these can craze, soften, or dissolve the material. Polystyrene is not autoclavable and should not be subjected to elevated temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these sample cups sterile?
No — part number 127-0066-R10 is supplied non-sterile in 1000/Bag bulk packaging, which is appropriate for general laboratory use where sterility is not a requirement.
Does the conical bottom affect how the cup stands?
No. Despite the conical interior bottom, the cup is designed with a freestanding base that allows it to stand upright on a flat surface without a rack or holder during sample preparation.
What types of samples are compatible with polystyrene cups?
Aqueous samples, standard biological buffers, and dilute aqueous reagents are all appropriate. Avoid acetone, alcohols above 70%, and aromatic or chlorinated solvents, which are chemically incompatible with polystyrene.
