Globe Scientific 15mL Centrifuge Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 15mL Centrifuge Tube (SKU 6261) is a polypropylene tube built for routine sample collection, separation, and storage. Molded graduations let technicians read approximate volumes directly off the tube wall, eliminating guesswork during fill steps. Each tube ships in a packed-bag format suited to high-throughput labs.
Manufactured from polypropylene, this tube resists a broad range of common laboratory chemicals and tolerates repeated handling. Labs running daily centrifugation cycles benefit from a consistent molded design that supports reliable seating in standard rotors. Procurement teams can stock a full case to reduce reorder frequency.
Supplied 250 per bag with 4 bags per unit, the 6261 totals 1000 tubes per case. Bulk packaging keeps per-tube cost predictable for institutional buyers managing recurring consumable budgets.

Laboratory Applications
Fifteen-milliliter polypropylene centrifuge tubes serve sample preparation across clinical, research, and quality-control settings. Technicians use them for cell pellet collection, supernatant transfer, reagent aliquoting, and short-term sample storage. Molded graduations help staff approximate liquid volumes when a precise transfer is not required.
Polypropylene construction supports work with aqueous buffers, dilute acids, and many organic solutions handled in day-to-day workflows. Academic teaching labs, diagnostic facilities, and industrial QC benches all rely on disposable tubes of this class to maintain workflow consistency. Always confirm rotor compatibility and chemical resistance against your specific protocol.
