Laboratory Applications
Disposable polystyrene tubes in the 16 x 100mm format serve sample collection, dilution prep, and short-term storage tasks across clinical and research labs. Technicians use them for aliquoting reagents, holding specimens during processing, and staging samples ahead of analysis. Single-use handling cuts the risk of carryover between batches.
Education and QC environments also adopt tubes like these for repetitive bench procedures where volume and cost matter. Clear walls allow quick visual checks of fill level and reaction state. Standard outer dimensions help these tubes seat in common racks and many instrument carriers.
