Globe Scientific 2mL Self-Standing Sterile Screw Cap Microtube Overview
The Globe Scientific 2mL Self-Standing Sterile Microtube (SKU 111740) is engineered for secure sample handling in busy laboratories. Built from polypropylene, this tube combines an attached screw cap and an integrated O-ring to deliver a reliable, leak-resistant seal during storage and transport.
Self-standing geometry lets technicians work hands-free at the bench, freeing rack space and reducing tip-over risk. Each cap accepts a color insert, so teams can apply quick visual coding across sample sets and protocols. Supplied sterile, these tubes are ready for use straight from the bag.
Packaging is configured for laboratory throughput: 500 tubes per bag, with 2 bags per unit and 1000 tubes per case. Procurement teams can standardize on a single consumable across multiple workflows and reorder predictably through LabSupplies.com.

Laboratory Applications
Sterile 2mL microtubes support sample collection, aliquoting, and short- or long-term storage of biological and chemical specimens. Polypropylene resists a broad range of solvents and tolerates freezing, making these tubes suitable for nucleic acid, protein, and reagent workflows where contamination control matters.
The screw cap and O-ring help protect samples during centrifugation steps and cold-chain transfer, reducing evaporation and leakage. Color-insert compatibility aids sample tracking in genomics, microbiology, and clinical research labs that manage large batch volumes and require clear identification at a glance.
