Globe Scientific 1.5mL Sterile Screw Cap Microtube Overview
The Globe Scientific 1.5mL Sterile Screw Cap Microtube (SKU 111710) pairs a leak-resistant O-ring seal with an attached screw cap built to accept a color insert. Each tube is molded from polypropylene and supplied sterile, ready for sample collection, storage, and transport without additional preparation.
An attached cap stays with the tube during handling, reducing the risk of mix-ups and lost lids across busy benches. The O-ring forms a secure barrier that helps protect samples during freezing, centrifugation, and short-term transport. Color-insert compatibility lets technicians code samples by study, patient, or batch.
Packaged 500 per bag with 2 bags per unit, this format suits high-throughput laboratories that consume microtubes in volume. Polypropylene construction supports a broad chemical and temperature working range typical of molecular and clinical workflows.

Laboratory Applications
Sterile 1.5mL screw cap microtubes serve sample aliquoting, nucleic acid and protein storage, and biobanking where a secure seal matters. O-ring tubes resist leakage during freezer storage and transport, making them well suited to specimens that move between collection sites and processing labs.
Molecular biology, clinical research, and diagnostic teams rely on this tube class for reagent dispensing and short-term archiving. Color-insert coding helps organize large sample sets by study arm or batch, while the attached cap simplifies single-handed handling at the bench.
