50mL Sterile Transport Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 50mL Transport Tube (SKU 6256) is a sterile, single-use vessel built for reliable sample collection, transport, and storage. Molded from polypropylene with a conical bottom and a self-standing base, this tube holds its position on the bench without a rack. An attached red screw cap stays with each tube to reduce loss and cross-mix-ups.
Printed graduations support quick volume estimates during fill and decant steps. Sterile packaging makes the tube ready for use straight from the bag, while the conical geometry channels pellets and sediment for cleaner aspiration after centrifugation.
Packaged 25 per bag with 20 bags per unit, SKU 6256 ships as a case of 500. Procurement teams stocking high-volume sample workflows get a consistent, individually capped format that travels well across departments.

Laboratory Applications
Sterile 50mL tubes serve clinical, research, and environmental labs handling biological specimens, reagents, and field samples. The conical bottom aids sediment recovery after centrifugation, supporting cell pellet isolation, supernatant decanting, and concentration steps. Printed graduations help technicians track approximate volumes during preparation and dilution.
Self-standing design suits batch workflows where tubes rest upright during aliquoting or labeling. Attached caps keep each closure paired with its tube during transport between collection points, storage, and analysis, lowering the risk of contamination and mismatched lids.
