Globe Scientific Polystyrene Test Tube, 16 x 150mm (20mL) Overview
The Globe Scientific Polystyrene Test Tube, 16 x 150mm (20mL) is a clear, disposable tube built for routine sample handling across analytical and clinical settings. Each tube measures 16 x 150mm with a nominal 20mL capacity, giving technicians a familiar format for dilutions, transfers, and short-term sample storage.
Molded from polystyrene (PS), these tubes offer good optical clarity for visual inspection and color comparison. Single-use construction removes the need for washing cycles, helping labs reduce cross-contamination risk and reclaim bench time. Standard sizing keeps the tubes compatible with common 16mm rack and rotor configurations.
Packaged by the case of 1000 under SKU 110110, this configuration suits facilities that consume tubes at volume. Consistent dimensions support automated and manual workflows alike.

Laboratory Applications
Polystyrene tubes in the 16 x 150mm format serve general sample preparation, including dilutions, reagent mixing, and aliquoting. Clarity of the material lets technicians monitor reactions, precipitates, and color changes without transferring contents. Many clinical and research benches keep this size on hand as a standard workhorse tube.
Disposable PS construction fits applications where single-use handling protects sample integrity. Teams running batch assays, specimen collection, or routine chemistry can rely on uniform tube geometry for consistent rack loading and instrument fit. Verify chemical compatibility with your specific reagents before use.
