Diamond Midi Centrifuge Tube, 5.0mL Overview
The Globe Scientific Diamond Midi Centrifuge Tube, 5.0mL (SKU 111578AST) is a graduated polypropylene tube fitted with an attached snap cap. Each tube delivers a 5.0mL working format that bridges the gap between standard microcentrifuge and larger conical formats, supporting sample prep and short-term storage workflows in busy labs.
Molded from polypropylene, these tubes resist a broad range of common laboratory chemicals and tolerate centrifugation. Graduations printed on the tube body help technicians verify volumes at a glance, while the captive snap cap stays attached to reduce mix-ups and cross-contamination during handling.
Assorted colors ship in this configuration, with 50 tubes per bag in Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow, and 4 bags per unit. Color coding lets teams sort samples by patient, project, or processing batch without extra labeling steps.

Laboratory Applications
Graduated 5.0mL tubes suit sample aliquoting, reagent storage, and intermediate-volume centrifugation in molecular biology, clinical, and analytical settings. Color-coded bags help labs separate workflows visually, easing batch tracking across high-throughput benches.
Polypropylene construction makes these tubes appropriate for many aqueous and solvent-based protocols where chemical compatibility matters. Attached snap caps keep closures secured to the tube, supporting tidy handling during pipetting, vortexing, and transport between workstations.
