Globe Scientific 12mL Centrifuge Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 12mL Centrifuge Tube (SKU 112050) is a molded polystyrene tube built for routine sample handling and separation tasks. Each tube measures 16.5 x 107.5mm and carries molded graduations directly on the wall, so volume estimates stay legible without external markings that can rub away during handling.
Polystyrene construction delivers clarity for fast visual inspection of pellets, layers, and supernatants. Lab managers stocking high-throughput benches will appreciate the case configuration of 100 tubes per bag across 10 bags, which supports clean inventory rotation and reduces contamination exposure when opening a single bag at a time.
Designed for general laboratory use, these tubes suit clinical, research, and education settings where disposable, single-use consumables keep cross-sample contamination low. Procurement teams can standardize on a single reorder SKU for predictable budgeting.

Laboratory Applications
Clinical and research labs use 12mL polystyrene centrifuge tubes for collecting, transporting, and spinning down moderate sample volumes. Molded graduations help technicians gauge volumes during aliquoting, decanting, and resuspension steps. Clear walls assist visual checks of phase boundaries after separation.
Education and quality-control environments rely on disposable tubes to avoid carryover between batches. These tubes also serve as economical vessels for mixing, short-term sample storage, and preliminary preparation before transfer to specialized analytical containers.
