Test Tube with Attached Blue Screw Cap, 16 x 150mm (20mL), PS Overview
The Test Tube with Attached Blue Screw Cap, 16 x 150mm (20mL), PS from Globe Scientific delivers a leak-resistant closure built directly into each tube, eliminating the loose caps that slow benchwork and create matching errors. Measuring 16 x 150mm with a 20mL working volume, this polystyrene tube suits routine sample handling across clinical and research settings.
Attached caps stay with the correct tube through transport, storage, and processing. Blue color coding helps technicians sort racks at a glance and segment workflows by sample type or protocol step. Clear polystyrene construction lets staff verify fill levels and inspect contents without opening the closure.
Packaged in cases of 500, this SKU 6160 tube supports high-throughput labs that consume consumables in volume. Procurement teams can standardize on a single part number for consistent receiving and inventory control.

Laboratory Applications
Screw-cap polystyrene tubes serve sample collection, aliquoting, and short-term storage where a secure closure matters. Clinical labs use them for specimen handling, while research groups rely on them for reagent dispensing, dilution series, and routine transfers. Attached caps reduce cross-contamination risk by keeping each closure paired to its tube.
Clear walls support visual inspection and spectrophotometric pre-checks at the bench. Teams running batch protocols benefit from color-coded sorting, organizing samples by group, day, or processing stage. Confirm chemical compatibility and temperature limits against your protocol before use.
