400µL LDPE Microcentrifuge Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 400µL LDPE Microcentrifuge Tube (SKU 110540) measures 6 x 47mm and ships with an attached plug cap molded to the tube body. Built from low-density polyethylene, this tube suits small-volume sample handling where flexibility and chemical compatibility matter. Each unit holds up to 400µL.
Attached caps reduce the risk of lost closures during high-throughput workflows. Because the plug seals by friction, technicians can open and reseal samples one-handed at the bench. LDPE construction gives the tube a softer, more pliable wall than rigid polypropylene formats.
Procurement teams ordering through LabSupplies.com receive these tubes packaged in bags of 1000, with master cases available for stocking high-volume facilities. Standardized dimensions help labs maintain consistency across racks, centrifuge rotors, and storage systems.

Laboratory Applications
Small-volume microcentrifuge tubes support sample aliquoting, reagent storage, and short-term specimen handling across molecular biology and clinical settings. The 400µL format fits workflows where conserving precious samples and minimizing dead volume is a priority. Attached caps help keep multi-tube batches organized during processing.
LDPE tubes are often selected when researchers need a softer, flexible wall for sample expression or compatibility with certain aqueous solutions. Technicians use these tubes for buffer dispensing, temporary storage, and routine bench tasks. Confirm centrifugation limits and chemical compatibility for your specific protocol before use.
