Globe Scientific 16 x 75mm Polypropylene Test Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 16 x 75mm Polypropylene Test Tube (8mL) is a rimmed, single-use tube built for routine sample handling across clinical and research benches. Molded from polypropylene, each tube resists cracking and tolerates a wide range of common laboratory chemicals. Lab teams rely on consistent dimensions for compatibility with standard racks and automated handling.
Each tube carries a formed rim that supports stable capping and pouring while reducing chipping during transport. Polypropylene construction offers lighter weight than glass and stands up to repeated centrifugation cycles typical of this tube class. Technicians get a reliable consumable for sample collection, storage, and short-term processing.
Packaged in a case of 2,500, this SKU suits high-throughput labs that consume tubes daily. Procurement teams can standardize on a single catalog number to simplify reordering and inventory control through LabSupplies.com.

Laboratory Applications
Polypropylene test tubes in this format support sample aliquoting, reagent preparation, and short-term specimen storage. Their chemical resistance makes them suitable for aqueous solutions, buffers, and many organic reagents handled at the bench. Diagnostic and research labs use 16 x 75mm tubes for serial dilutions and routine assay setup.
The rimmed design assists with secure capping and controlled decanting during processing. Many workflows pair these tubes with standard test tube racks, vortex mixers, and benchtop centrifuges rated for compatible dimensions. Educational and quality-control labs also adopt this tube class for repeatable, low-cost sample handling.
