Globe Scientific 17 x 100mm 15mL Polypropylene Test Tubes Overview
The Globe Scientific 17 x 100mm 15mL Polypropylene Test Tube (SKU 110186) gives laboratories a durable, single-use vessel for routine sample handling. Molded from polypropylene, these tubes resist many aqueous reagents and tolerate the mechanical stress of repeated rack loading. Each tube measures 17 x 100mm and holds a 15mL working volume.
Polypropylene construction offers lower breakage risk than glass, supporting safer benchtop and transport workflows. Technicians can use these tubes across general chemistry, microbiology prep, and sample collection tasks where a 15mL capacity fits the protocol.
Packaging supports stockroom organization: tubes ship 500 per bag with 2 bags per unit, and units are sold by the case of 1000. LabSupplies.com supplies SKU 110186 as an authorized reseller of Globe Scientific products.

Laboratory Applications
Polypropylene test tubes in the 15mL range serve sample aliquoting, reagent mixing, and short-term specimen holding. Microbiology and general chemistry teams reach for tubes like these when glass risk or chemical compatibility favors plastic. Their straight 17 x 100mm profile fits standard tube racks and many centrifuge adapters.
Clinical prep, environmental sampling, and educational labs also rely on disposable polypropylene tubes for high-throughput, single-use workflows. Choosing plastic reduces cleanup burden and limits cross-contamination between batches. Verify sterility and chemical compatibility against your specific protocol before use.
