5mL Transport Tube with Screw Cap Overview
The Globe Scientific 5mL Transport Tube (SKU 6101) is a polypropylene vessel built for routine specimen handling and sample storage. Its conical bottom concentrates pellets and small volumes, while a separate white screw cap secures contents during transit. Molded graduations let technicians estimate volume without printing wear.
Self-standing geometry keeps each tube upright on the bench, in racks, or during pipetting. Polypropylene construction resists many common laboratory reagents and tolerates repeated handling. Procurement teams ordering for high-throughput sites receive these tubes in a 1000-count case, suiting facilities that consume consumables at volume.
Caps ship separately from the tubes, giving labs flexibility for closure timing during workflows. Stocking this tube supports clinical, research, and industrial environments where dependable, single-use sample containers are needed.

Laboratory Applications
Transport tubes of this class serve sample collection, short-term storage, and shipment of liquid or pelleted specimens between departments and sites. Conical bottoms aid concentration of cells and precipitates after centrifugation, helping technicians recover small volumes cleanly. Molded graduations support quick visual volume checks at the bench.
Screw caps provide a secure closure that reduces leakage risk during handling and transit. Self-standing bases keep tubes organized during aliquoting, labeling, and processing. Laboratories in clinical, research, environmental, and industrial settings rely on polypropylene tubes like this for chemical compatibility with many aqueous reagents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the screw caps included with the tubes?
Yes. Each case of SKU 6101 includes the 5mL polypropylene tubes along with separate white screw caps, so closures arrive packaged for use.
Can these tubes be centrifuged?
The conical bottom design supports pellet concentration common in centrifugation workflows. Specific maximum g-force ratings are not listed in the source data; contact us for that specification before high-speed use.
What is the case quantity for ordering?
This tube is sold by the case of 1000 units (CS/1000). For larger institutional volumes or master-case details, reach out to LabSupplies.com for a quote.
