Globe Scientific 13 x 75mm Polypropylene Test Tube (5mL) Overview
The Globe Scientific 13 x 75mm Polypropylene Test Tube (5mL) is a general-purpose plastic tube built for routine sample handling, dilution, and storage across clinical and research labs. Each tube measures 13 x 75mm with a nominal 5mL capacity, molded from polypropylene for chemical resistance and durability.
Polypropylene construction resists cracking and tolerates a broad range of aqueous reagents, making these tubes a practical alternative to glass for many workflows. Lightweight bodies reduce centrifuge and rack load, while the consistent dimensions fit standard 13mm racks and instrument carriers.
Supplied by LabSupplies.com under SKU 110475, this tube ships in high-volume case quantities suited to facilities that consume disposables at scale. Procurement teams can standardize on a single catalog item and reorder predictably.

Laboratory Applications
Labs use 13 x 75mm polypropylene tubes for sample aliquoting, reagent dilution, and short-term specimen storage. Their chemical resistance suits buffer preparation, dilution series, and handling of aqueous solutions where glass breakage poses a hazard or contamination risk.
Clinical and research settings rely on these tubes for collection workflows, immunoassay setup, and general benchtop tasks. Standard 13mm dimensions seat in common racks, automated carriers, and centrifuge adapters, supporting both manual and instrument-driven processes.
