16 x 100mm Polystyrene Graduated Test Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 16 x 100mm Polystyrene Test Tube holds a 12mL capacity and features a molded rim plus printed graduations at 2.5, 5, and 10mL. Designed for routine sample handling, this disposable tube supports quick visual volume estimates without a separate measuring step.
Polystyrene construction delivers clarity for inspecting contents and color reactions. Each tube ships clean and ready to use, removing the wash-and-dry cycle that consumes bench time. Lab teams running high sample volumes benefit from a single-use format that reduces cross-contamination risk between batches.
Bulk packaging supports busy laboratories. Tubes are bagged at 500 per bag with 4 bags per unit, supplied in a case configuration of 2000 tubes. This structure keeps backup stock sealed while an open bag stays on the bench.

Laboratory Applications
Graduated polystyrene tubes serve sample collection, dilution prep, and reagent aliquoting across clinical, research, and educational settings. Printed volume marks help technicians dose and dispense liquids when an exact graduated cylinder is not required. Optical clarity supports endpoint checks and turbidity observations during routine assays.
Single-use formats suit teaching labs, screening workflows, and high-throughput batches where reusing glass adds wash burden. Disposable tubes limit carryover between samples and standardize each run. Verify chemical compatibility, sterility needs, and temperature limits against your protocol before adopting any disposable tube.
