15mL Sterile Centrifuge Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 15mL Sterile Centrifuge Tube (SKU 6285) pairs a polypropylene body with an attached blue flat-top screw cap, giving technicians a secure, leak-resistant vessel for routine sample processing. Printed graduations support quick volume reading at the bench. Each tube ships sterile, ready for immediate use in cell work and clinical prep.
Attached caps reduce the risk of cross-mix-ups and keep closures with their tubes through high-throughput runs. Polypropylene construction handles a wide range of standard laboratory reagents while withstanding centrifugation forces typical of 15mL conical formats. Sterile bagging protects contents until the point of use.
Packaging is built for organized stockrooms: tubes arrive 25 per bag, 20 bags per unit, and 500 tubes per case. This format suits busy facilities that draw consistent inventory without compromising sterility on unopened bags.

Laboratory Applications
Sterile 15mL conical tubes serve cell culture handling, sample collection, and reagent aliquoting where contamination control matters. Printed graduations let technicians estimate volumes during dilution, washing, and resuspension steps without transferring to a separate cylinder.
Polypropylene tubes also support sample storage, supernatant transfer after centrifugation, and routine separation protocols in clinical, research, and quality labs. Attached screw caps help maintain a closed system during transport between workstations and shared equipment.
Ordering & Bulk Pricing
SKU 6285 ships as a case of 500 tubes (CS/500), packed 25 per bag with 20 bags per unit, for sterile, ready-to-stock replenishment. Procurement teams managing standing orders or multi-case volumes can request institutional purchasing terms and quotes through LabSupplies.com.
