Globe Scientific Urine Collection System, 12 mL Flared-Top Centrifuge Tube with Separate Blue Snap Cap, 1000/Case
The Globe Scientific Urine Collection System pairs a 12 mL flared-top centrifuge tube with a separate blue snap cap for routine urinalysis, urine sediment microscopy, and specimen transport. Flared geometry stabilizes the tube during centrifugation, while the snap cap secures samples through handling and refrigerated storage on the bench or in the lab fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these urine tubes supplied sterile?
No, this system is non-sterile and intended for routine urinalysis, sediment work, and specimen transport. For applications requiring sterility, confirm a sterile alternative with our team before ordering.
Why does the tube have a flared top?
The flared top adds stability in centrifuge rotors and bucket inserts, reduces tipping during loading, and gives a wider opening for pipetting and decanting supernatant after a spin.
Does the blue snap cap ship attached to the tube?
No. Tubes and blue snap caps are packaged separately within the case, letting staff fill and cap as part of the collection workflow rather than removing pre-fitted closures.
How are the tubes packaged and sold?
This item (SKU 112014) is sold per case of 1000 tubes with matching blue snap caps. The list price shown reflects the full case quantity.
