0.5mL Self-Standing Sterile Screwcap Microtube Overview
The Globe Scientific 0.5mL Self-Standing Sterile Screwcap Microtube (SKU 111700) is engineered for secure sample containment in molecular biology, clinical, and analytical workflows. Each tube features an attached screwcap designed to accept a color insert, giving labs a fast, tactile way to organize samples. Built from polypropylene, this microtube resists a broad range of solvents and withstands repeated handling.
A built-in O-ring delivers a reliable seal that helps protect samples against evaporation and cross-contamination. Self-standing geometry lets technicians work without racks during quick pipetting steps, keeping benchtops efficient and tubes upright. Sterile packaging makes this product ready for sensitive applications straight from the bag.
Supplied 500 tubes per bag with 2 bags per unit, this configuration suits high-throughput facilities that move large sample volumes daily. Procurement teams gain a consistent, traceable SKU for repeat ordering through LabSupplies.com.
