16 x 100mm Graduated PP Test Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 16 x 100mm Polypropylene Test Tube holds a 12mL capacity and carries molded graduations at 2.5, 5, and 10mL. Built from polypropylene, this tube suits routine sample handling where chemical durability and clarity of volume marks matter. Each tube features a rim for stable handling during transfer and decanting.
Graduation marks at three reference points let technicians estimate volumes without a separate measuring step. Polypropylene resists many aqueous reagents and tolerates a broad temperature range common to general lab work. The rimmed design helps prevent slippage when gripping tubes by hand or with a rack tool.
Packaged in a case of 2,000 under SKU 111040, this tube fits high-throughput labs that consume disposable tubes in volume. LabSupplies.com supplies it as an authorized Globe Scientific reseller for research, clinical, and educational settings.

Laboratory Applications
Polypropylene test tubes serve sample collection, dilution, and short-term storage across analytical and clinical workflows. Graduated tubes help technicians track approximate volumes during reagent mixing, aliquoting, and preliminary assay steps. The 12mL capacity suits mid-volume tasks that exceed microtube limits yet stay below bottle-scale handling.
Teaching labs and quality-control benches rely on disposable PP tubes to reduce cross-contamination between runs. Rimmed tubes pair with standard racks and centrifuge adapters where the model is rated, supporting tasks from culture handling to chemical screening. Confirm specific compatibility with your protocol before use.
