Globe Scientific 50mL Sterile Centrifuge Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 50mL Centrifuge Tube (SKU 6243) ships sterile and ready for immediate use in sample collection, separation, and storage workflows. Each tube is molded from polypropylene and fitted with an attached red screw cap, reducing the risk of misplaced closures during high-throughput processing.
Printed graduations support quick volume reads without secondary marking. Tubes arrive racked at 25 per rack, keeping them upright and organized at the bench. Racked presentation also speeds aliquoting and limits cross-contact between units.
Procurement teams order this product by the case of 500 tubes. Standardizing on a single sterile, attached-cap tube simplifies inventory and supports repeatable results across shifts and departments.

Laboratory Applications
Centrifuge tubes in this class handle cell pelleting, supernatant collection, reagent preparation, and sample transport across clinical, research, and industrial labs. Sterile packaging suits cell culture and microbiology workflows where contamination control matters. The attached cap keeps closures with their tubes during repeated open-and-close steps.
Printed graduations help technicians estimate volumes during dilution, aliquoting, and buffer preparation. Polypropylene construction tolerates a broad range of common laboratory reagents. Racked delivery supports organized bench setups in core facilities and high-volume testing environments.
