Globe Scientific 50mL Transport Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 50mL Transport Tube (SKU 6255) is a polypropylene vessel built for sample collection, transport, and short-term storage across clinical and research workflows. Each tube ships with a separate red screw cap, letting technicians match closures to color-coded protocols without sorting attached lids.
Printed graduations support quick volume estimation at the bench, while the conical bottom helps concentrate pellets and sediment during centrifugation and decanting. Self-standing geometry keeps each tube upright on the bench, inside racks, or during fill operations, reducing spills and freeing hands for pipetting.
Polypropylene construction gives this tube broad chemical compatibility and durability suited to repeated handling. Procurement teams can standardize on a single 50mL format for transport and processing, simplifying inventory across departments.

Laboratory Applications
Clinical and research labs use 50mL transport tubes to collect, move, and hold liquid specimens between collection points and processing stations. The conical bottom assists pellet recovery after centrifugation, making these tubes practical for cell suspensions, sediment work, and decanting supernatant with minimal loss.
Self-standing design suits open-bench staging during batch fills, aliquoting, and labeling. Printed graduations let staff gauge volumes for reagent preparation, sample pooling, and routine measurement tasks. Separate red caps support color-coded sorting and inventory schemes across multiple teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tube include caps?
Yes. Each 50mL tube ships with a separate red screw cap, so closures arrive packed alongside the tubes rather than pre-attached.
Can the tube stand on its own?
It can. The self-standing base holds each tube upright on the bench or during fills, while the conical bottom supports centrifugation and pellet recovery.
How many tubes come in a case?
This SKU is supplied as a case of 500 tubes. For larger institutional volumes or scheduled reorders, reach our team through LabSupplies.com.
