Globe Scientific 12 x 75mm Polypropylene Test Tube (5mL) Overview
The Globe Scientific 12 x 75mm (5mL) Polypropylene Test Tube is a general-purpose laboratory tube built for sample handling, dilution, and routine bench work. Molded from polypropylene (PP), each tube measures 12 x 75mm with a nominal 5mL capacity. Labs choose this format for everyday tasks that demand a clear, chemically resistant vessel.
Tubes ship in an oriented box that holds 250 units, keeping each tube positioned for fast picking and loading. Four boxes make up one unit, and a full case delivers 1,000 tubes. This packaging suits high-throughput environments where technicians need consistent stock on hand.
Procurement teams can standardize on SKU 110443 to simplify reordering across multiple departments. Because polypropylene resists many aqueous reagents, the tube serves a wide range of bench applications without frequent substitution.

Laboratory Applications
Polypropylene tubes in the 12 x 75mm format support sample collection, reagent aliquoting, serial dilutions, and short-term storage. Technicians rely on their compatibility with many aqueous and mild solvent systems for routine chemistry, microbiology prep, and general bench work.
Oriented packaging helps automated and manual workflows alike, since each tube stays upright for loading into racks or instrument carriers. Teaching labs, clinical support areas, and research benches all use this size as a workhorse vessel where a small-volume, disposable container is needed.
Ordering & Bulk Pricing
SKU 110443 is sold as a case of 1,000 tubes, organized as 250 per oriented box across 4 boxes per unit, with a list price of $78.50 USD. Institutional buyers, hospitals, and academic departments can place volume orders and request quotes for standing supply through LabSupplies.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
What material are these test tubes made from?
