15mL Centrifuge Tube with Blue Screw Cap (SKU 6284) Overview
The Globe Scientific 15mL Centrifuge Tube pairs a polypropylene body with a separate blue flat-top screw cap, giving laboratories a dependable vessel for sample preparation and storage. Printed graduations support quick volume estimation during pipetting and aliquoting. This bulk configuration ships 500 tubes per case.
Polypropylene construction resists many common solvents and tolerates a range of laboratory temperatures, while the screw cap creates a secure closure that limits leaks during transport. Flat-top caps stand upright on the bench, which aids labeling and inverted storage.
Procurement teams choosing the bulk case can standardize a single, repeatable consumable across multiple benches. Each unit arrives ready for routine workflows, and the printed scale stays legible through normal handling.

Laboratory Applications
Research and clinical labs reach for 15mL polypropylene centrifuge tubes during sample collection, cell pelleting, reagent mixing, and short-term sample storage. Printed graduations help technicians track approximate volumes when transferring liquids or building dilution series. Screw caps support secure handling between bench stations.
Teaching laboratories, quality-control environments, and high-throughput facilities benefit from a consistent bulk supply. Standardizing on one tube format streamlines training and keeps inventory predictable across shifts and departments.
