Globe Scientific Polystyrene Test Tube, 16 x 100mm (12mL) Overview
The Globe Scientific Polystyrene Test Tube, 16 x 100mm (12mL) is a clear, single-use tube built for routine sample handling across high-throughput labs. Each tube measures 16 x 100mm with a 12mL working volume and features a no-rim design. Polystyrene construction delivers excellent optical clarity for visual inspection and quick reads.
Designed as a disposable consumable, this tube eliminates cleaning cycles and cross-contamination risk between batches. Technicians can load samples, run protocols, and discard without reprocessing. The no-rim format suits applications that do not require a flared lip for capping or pouring.
LabSupplies.com stocks this item under SKU 111011 in case quantities, supporting facilities that consume tubes at scale. Procurement teams can standardize on a single SKU for predictable reordering and consistent fit with existing tube racks and instrument carriers.

Laboratory Applications
Polystyrene tubes in the 16 x 100mm format serve general sample collection, dilution, and short-term storage tasks. Clinical, research, and educational labs rely on clear tubes to monitor color changes, sedimentation, or reagent mixing by eye. Disposable use keeps workflows moving when sample volumes are high.
These tubes fit common bench racks, centrifuge adapters, and automated handlers sized for the 16mm diameter. Quality control benches, teaching labs, and environmental testing groups often deploy them for aliquoting and routine assays. Verify chemical compatibility with polystyrene before exposing tubes to organic solvents or aggressive reagents.

Frequently Asked Questions
What material are these test tubes made from?
They are molded from polystyrene (PS), which provides clear optical transparency for visual inspection. Polystyrene tubes are intended for single use rather than repeated autoclaving.
How many tubes come in a case?
Each case holds 1000 tubes, supplied as 500 per bag with 2 bags per unit. This packaging supports high-volume labs that order in bulk.
Are these tubes sterile?
Sterility is not listed in our current product data. Contact for specification before using these tubes in applications that require certified sterile consumables.
