Globe Scientific 15mL Sterile Centrifuge Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 15mL Centrifuge Tube (SKU 6286) pairs a polypropylene body with an attached blue flat-top screw cap, giving technicians a leak-resistant vessel for routine sample handling. Each tube ships sterile and ready for immediate use in cell culture, sample prep, and clinical workflows.
Printed graduations support consistent volume measurement directly at the bench, removing guesswork during aliquoting. Polypropylene resists a broad range of solvents and tolerates repeated centrifugation cycles, making this tube a dependable choice for high-throughput labs.
Tubes arrive organized 50 per rack, with 10 racks per unit. Rack packaging keeps tubes upright and contamination-controlled, so your team spends less time sorting and more time processing samples.

Laboratory Applications
Conical and round-bottom 15mL centrifuge tubes serve as workhorses across molecular biology, microbiology, and clinical laboratories. Researchers rely on them for sample collection, reagent storage, and pelleting cells or precipitates during spin protocols. Sterile packaging makes the tubes suitable for cell culture media handling and other contamination-sensitive procedures.
Screw-cap closures support secure storage and transport of biological and chemical samples. Polypropylene construction allows freezing, brief heating, and exposure to many aqueous buffers, so labs can standardize on a single tube format across diverse assays. Printed graduations help technicians verify volumes without transferring to a graduated cylinder.
