Globe Scientific 12 x 75mm Polystyrene Test Tube (5mL) Overview
The Globe Scientific 12 x 75mm Polystyrene Test Tube (5mL) is a clear, disposable tube built for routine sample handling across clinical and research benches. Each tube measures 12 x 75mm and holds a 5mL nominal volume, matching the standard format used in racks, readers, and small-batch workflows.
Molded from polystyrene (PS), these tubes deliver optical clarity for visual inspection and instrument reading. Tubes ship in oriented boxes, which keep openings aligned for faster manual or automated loading. Procurement teams gain a predictable, single-use option that reduces cleaning steps between runs.
Packaging follows an 8-boxes-per-unit structure, with 250 tubes per oriented box. LabSupplies.com supplies SKU 110412 as a case of 2000 tubes, suited to facilities standardizing on a consistent tube format across departments.

Laboratory Applications
Polystyrene tubes in the 12 x 75mm format support sample aliquoting, dilution prep, and short-term holding of aqueous solutions. Clinical labs use this size for specimen transfer and reagent staging, while research groups rely on the clear walls for visual checks of color, turbidity, or precipitate.
Their compatibility with standard tube racks and many benchtop instruments makes them practical for batch processing. Disposable PS construction suits single-use protocols where carryover must be avoided. Confirm chemical compatibility and any sterility requirement against your method before substituting into validated procedures.
