16 x 100mm Polystyrene Centrifuge Tube (12mL) Overview
The Globe Scientific 16 x 100mm Polystyrene Centrifuge Tube (12mL) ships with a separate white plug cap and a clear polystyrene body. Lab teams use this 12mL format for routine sample handling, aliquoting, and centrifugation tasks where a rigid, transparent tube simplifies visual inspection. Each tube measures 16 x 100mm.
Polystyrene construction gives a clear wall for reading liquid levels and checking pellet formation after spins. Separate plug caps let technicians seal samples securely and remove closures without cross-threading. Bulk packaging supports high-volume workflows in clinical, research, and education settings.
Supplied by LabSupplies.com as an authorized reseller of Globe Scientific, SKU 112009 arrives in a case of 1000 tubes. Procurement teams can standardize on a single catalog item for repeat ordering across multiple departments.

Laboratory Applications
Centrifuge tubes in this 12mL polystyrene format support sample collection, separation, and short-term storage across many lab disciplines. Technicians load samples, apply the plug cap, and process tubes through standard bench protocols. Clear walls help staff confirm volumes and observe layer separation after a spin.
Common settings include clinical labs, academic teaching spaces, and research facilities that need disposable tubes in volume. Plug caps suit applications where a quick, removable seal is preferred over threaded closures. Verify chemical and centrifugation compatibility against your protocol before use.
