Globe Scientific 16 x 100mm Polypropylene Test Tube (12mL) Overview
The Globe Scientific 16 x 100mm Polypropylene Test Tube (12mL) is a no-rim, bulk-packaged tube built for laboratories that consume disposable labware in high volume. Molded from polypropylene, each tube offers solid chemical resistance and impact durability that glass alternatives cannot match. Procurement teams stocking general-purpose vessels will find this SKU (111041) a practical, cost-effective line item.
Designed without a rolled rim, these tubes suit applications where a flush opening simplifies capping, racking, and automated handling. Polypropylene construction keeps them lightweight and shatter-resistant, reducing breakage waste across busy benches. Bulk packaging of 2000 units per case supports facilities running repeated sample collection, mixing, or short-term storage tasks.
Globe Scientific manufactures this tube for routine laboratory use, and LabSupplies.com supplies it as an authorized reseller. Buyers managing standing orders can rely on a consistent product specification for predictable workflows.

Laboratory Applications
Polypropylene test tubes serve general bench tasks across clinical, research, and educational settings. Technicians use them for sample aliquoting, reagent mixing, dilutions, and short-term specimen holding. Chemical resistance makes polypropylene suitable for contact with many aqueous solutions and solvents that would degrade lesser plastics, while the unbreakable nature reduces hazards during routine handling.
High-volume environments benefit from bulk supply, since repetitive protocols rapidly deplete disposable vessels. Quality control labs, teaching facilities, and diagnostic workflows each draw on tubes of this format for consistent, single-use applications. Verify autoclavability and chemical compatibility against your specific protocol before deployment.
