16 x 100mm Polypropylene Test Tube (12mL) Overview
The Globe Scientific 16 x 100mm Polypropylene Test Tube (12mL) is a graduated, no-rim tube built for high-throughput laboratory workflows. Molded from polypropylene (PP), this tube delivers chemical durability across a wide range of routine and analytical procedures. Each unit carries printed graduations to support quick visual volume estimation at the bench.
Designed without a rim, the tube fits standard rack openings and automated handling formats cleanly. Polypropylene construction resists cracking and tolerates many aqueous reagents better than equivalent glass alternatives. Labs that process large daily sample volumes benefit from the consistent dimensions across every tube in the case.
Supplied in bulk, this listing serves teaching labs, clinical reference facilities, and industrial QC departments that consume disposable tubes at scale. Procurement teams can standardize on a single SKU and reduce reorder complexity.

Laboratory Applications
Polypropylene test tubes of this size support sample collection, dilution preparation, and short-term storage across clinical, research, and educational settings. Graduated markings help technicians track approximate volumes during titrations, reagent mixing, and routine aliquoting. The 16 x 100mm format aligns with common rack and centrifuge adapter footprints used throughout general labs.
PP material handles many solvents and biological samples that can stress glass or polystyrene. Teaching laboratories favor these disposable tubes for student exercises where breakage risk and turnover are high. Quality-control departments rely on uniform dimensions to keep automated and manual handling consistent.
