12 mL Urine Centrifuge Tubes, Flared-Top Graduated Polystyrene, 500/Bag
The Globe Scientific 12 mL Urine Centrifuge Tubes are graduated polystyrene tubes designed for routine urinalysis, sediment concentration, and microscopic examination workflows. Their flared top simplifies decanting and pipette access, while clear molded graduations support reproducible volume reading after centrifugation in high-throughput clinical and reference laboratories.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many tubes come in each option?
SKU 112012 ships 2 bags of 500 (1,000 tubes per case); SKU 112017 ships 3 bags of 500 (1,500 tubes per case). Prices listed are per case.
Are these tubes sterile?
No. These polystyrene urine centrifuge tubes are supplied non-sterile, intended for routine urinalysis and sediment processing rather than sterile collection.
What is the purpose of the flared top?
The flared open top widens the rim to ease pouring off supernatant after spinning and provides clearance for pipette tips when resuspending sediment.
What centrifuge speeds are appropriate?
Polystyrene tubes suit low-speed clinical spins typical of urine sediment protocols. Confirm your rotor's bucket fit and follow your centrifuge's RCF guidance for 12 mL tubes.
