500mL Large Volume Centrifuge Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 500mL Large Volume Centrifuge Tube (SKU 6338) is built for high-capacity separation work where smaller vessels fall short. Molded from polypropylene, each tube handles substantial sample volumes while the attached white screw cap stays with the tube to reduce misplaced closures during busy workflows.
Polypropylene construction gives this tube broad chemical compatibility across common laboratory reagents and buffers. Because the cap is attached and threaded, technicians get a secure seal that supports repeatable handling. Labs processing cell cultures, environmental samples, or bulk reagents benefit from the 500mL working format.
Each unit ships 6 tubes per bag, making restocking simple for departments that run large-batch protocols. LabSupplies.com supplies this Globe Scientific tube to research, clinical, and industrial laboratories sourcing dependable consumables.

Laboratory Applications
Large volume centrifuge tubes serve protocols that require bulk pelleting and clarification, including cell harvesting, media concentration, and environmental sample preparation. Polypropylene tubes resist many aqueous and organic solutions, which suits them to reagent storage and transport between processing steps.
Research and quality-control teams reach for 500mL formats when batch sizes outgrow standard 50mL conicals. Attached screw caps help maintain closure integrity during transfer, mixing, and short-term sample holding, reducing the chance of separated lids in shared workspaces.
