12 x 75mm 5mL Polypropylene Test Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 12 x 75mm (5mL) Polypropylene Test Tube is a general-purpose laboratory tube built for routine sample handling, dilutions, and storage. Molded from polypropylene (PP), each tube delivers chemical resistance suited to aqueous reagents and common solvents found in clinical and research workflows.
Measuring 12 x 75mm with a nominal 5mL capacity, this tube fits standard racks, vortexers, and bench-top centrifuge adapters designed for the 12mm format. Technicians can label, fill, and process tubes quickly across high-volume batches without switching footprints.
Packaged 250 per bag with 8 bags per unit, this configuration supports labs that consume disposable tubes at scale. Each case ships 2,000 tubes, keeping reorder cycles predictable for procurement teams managing recurring stock.

Laboratory Applications
These tubes serve sample collection, serial dilutions, reagent aliquoting, and short-term specimen storage. Polypropylene construction tolerates a broad pH range, making the tube practical for buffer preparation, mixing, and routine analytical setups where disposable consumables reduce cross-contamination.
Clinical labs, academic research groups, and quality-control benches rely on the 12 x 75mm format because it pairs with widely available racks, readers, and vortex platforms. Single-use handling streamlines high-throughput protocols and helps teams maintain consistent sample integrity batch to batch.
Ordering & Bulk Pricing
Each unit holds 250 tubes per bag with 8 bags, and the full case (CS/2000) supplies 2,000 tubes for steady consumption. Institutional and recurring purchases ship through LabSupplies.com, where procurement teams can request volume quotes, set up standing orders, and align case quantities with department budgets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What material are these test tubes made from?
They are manufactured from polypropylene (PP), which resists many aqueous reagents and common laboratory solvents and supports single-use disposable workflows.
How many tubes come in a case?
One case (CS/2000) contains 2,000 tubes, packaged as 250 per bag with 8 bags per unit.
Are these tubes sterile?
Sterility is not listed in the available specifications. Contact for specification before use in applications requiring sterile consumables.
