12 mL Urine Centrifuge Tubes, Flared Top, Graduated Polystyrene — 500/Case
The Globe Scientific Urine Centrifuge Tube is a clear, graduated 12 mL polystyrene tube engineered for routine urinalysis, sediment concentration, and microscopic examination. Its flared top simplifies pouring and pipetting, reducing spillage during specimen processing. Bench technicians rely on these tubes for consistent spin-down and clear sediment visualization in high-throughput clinical workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum recommended centrifugation speed for these polystyrene tubes?
Polystyrene urine centrifuge tubes are intended for routine clinical spins. Follow your laboratory's validated urinalysis protocol and keep within the rotor's rated limits for general-purpose plastic tubes; PS is not suited to high-RCF or ultracentrifuge applications.
Are these tubes supplied sterile?
No. These tubes are non-sterile and designed for routine urinalysis and screening. If a sterile vessel is required, select a sterile-packaged alternative validated for your application.
What does the flared top provide?
The flared top widens the opening to ease decanting of supernatant and pipette access, helping reduce spillage when separating sediment from urine specimens.
How are the tubes packaged and sold?
They ship 500 tubes per case under SKU 112011 at $117.90 per case, with a lot number printed for traceability.
