Globe Scientific 12 x 75mm Polystyrene Test Tube (5mL) Overview
The Globe Scientific Test Tube, 12 x 75mm (5mL), PS is a clear polystyrene tube built for routine sample handling, small-volume reactions, and general benchwork. Each unit measures 12 x 75mm and holds a 5mL nominal volume, making it a practical fit for high-throughput labs that process many samples per shift.
Polystyrene construction gives these tubes optical clarity for visual inspection while keeping per-unit cost low. Disposable design supports single-use workflows where cross-contamination control matters. Tubes ship in bulk bags, so technicians can keep a reliable stock on hand without frequent reordering.
Packed 1000 per bag and 4000 per master case, SKU 110410 suits laboratories that standardize on a single tube format across multiple departments. Procurement teams can scale order quantities to match consumption without juggling mixed pack sizes.

Laboratory Applications
Small-volume polystyrene tubes serve broad roles in clinical, research, and educational settings. Technicians use them for sample aliquoting, dilution series, reagent preparation, and short-term specimen holding. Clear walls allow quick visual checks of liquid level, color, and clarity without removing tubes from a rack.
Disposable PS tubes fit single-use protocols where reuse risks carryover. Teaching labs rely on the low cost for classroom exercises and demonstrations. The 12 x 75mm footprint is compatible with many standard tube racks and benchtop fixtures, supporting organized, repeatable workflows.
Ordering & Bulk Pricing
SKU 110410 ships as a bag of 1000 tubes, with a full master case holding 4000 tubes across 4 bags. Institutional buyers ordering by the case can streamline restocking for high-volume operations. Request volume quotes, blanket purchase orders, or standing-order arrangements through LabSupplies.com to support recurring laboratory demand.
