12 mL Urine Centrifuge Tubes, PS with Sediment Bulb & Flared Top, Graduated to 10 mL — 1500/Case
The Globe Scientific 12 mL Urine Centrifuge Tube is engineered for routine microscopic urinalysis, concentrating cellular elements, casts, and crystals into a defined sediment bulb for easy resuspension and slide preparation. Clear polystyrene construction and clear 10 mL graduations support accurate specimen measurement, while the flared top simplifies decanting of supernatant after spin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the sediment bulb used for?
After centrifugation, cellular elements and casts collect in the tapered sediment bulb at the tube base. This concentrates the pellet into a small, defined volume so technologists can decant supernatant cleanly and resuspend the sediment for microscopic review.
Are these tubes sterile?
No. These polystyrene urine centrifuge tubes are supplied non-sterile, which is standard for routine urinalysis and sediment examination workflows.
How many tubes come in a case?
Each case (SKU 112030) contains 500 tubes per bag with 3 bags per unit, for a total of 1500 tubes. The listed price is per case.
What is the maximum graduation marking?
The tubes are graduated to 10 mL within a 12 mL nominal capacity, giving headroom above the measurement line for handling and centrifugation.
