250mL Large Volume Centrifuge Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 250mL Large Volume Centrifuge Tube (SKU 6336) is a polypropylene vessel built for high-capacity sample processing. An attached white screw cap stays with the tube, reducing the risk of lost closures during busy workflows. Each tube holds a generous 250mL working volume for pooled samples, bulk cell preparations, and large reagent batches.
Polypropylene construction gives this tube broad chemical compatibility and the strength needed for centrifugation. Because the cap is attached, technicians can open and close one-handed while moving samples between steps. Tubes ship 6 per bag, a convenient quantity for bench restocking and shared lab spaces.
Lab managers selecting a large-format tube want consistent fit and reliable closure. This Globe Scientific design pairs a leak-resistant screw cap with a rigid body suited to repeated handling. Available exclusively through LabSupplies.com for institutional and individual buyers.

Laboratory Applications
Large-volume centrifuge tubes support pooled sample collection, bulk cell pelleting, and concentration of dilute suspensions where standard 15mL or 50mL tubes fall short. Research teams use 250mL formats to consolidate fractions, prepare media, and process larger biological or environmental samples in a single vessel.
The attached screw cap suits applications that demand secure containment and reduced contamination risk during transfer and storage. Polypropylene compatibility lets labs handle a wide range of aqueous reagents and buffers. Common settings include biotech production, clinical research, academic teaching labs, and quality-control facilities.
