13 x 75mm Polystyrene Test Tube (5mL) Overview
The Globe Scientific 13 x 75mm (5mL) Polystyrene Test Tube is a clear, disposable vessel built for routine sample handling, dilutions, and short-term holding in busy laboratories. Molded from polystyrene, each tube offers the optical clarity technicians rely on for visual inspection of samples and reagents.
Sized at 13 x 75mm with a 5mL nominal capacity, these tubes fit standard racks, centrifuge adapters, and analyzer carriers used across clinical and research settings. The single-use design reduces cross-contamination risk and eliminates washing between runs.
Packaged 500 per bag with 4 bags per unit, this listing supports high-throughput workflows where consistent supply matters. Globe Scientific manufactures these tubes for reliable performance across repetitive daily testing.

Laboratory Applications
Polystyrene tubes in the 13 x 75mm format serve sample aliquoting, reagent preparation, and specimen transfer in clinical, microbiology, and general research labs. Their clarity helps technicians monitor color changes, precipitation, and fill levels without removing samples from the rack.
Compatible with common rack footprints and many automated analyzer carriers, these tubes suit batch processing where single-use vessels streamline turnaround. Researchers also use them for dilutions, standards preparation, and short-term sample staging at the bench.
