Globe Scientific 110446 is a 12 x 75 mm polypropylene test tube, 5 mL capacity.
Globe molds these tubes from polypropylene for impact strength and stability to common acids, alkalies and solvents. It rates its polypropylene tubes to 3,000 RPM in a centrifuge and lists them as autoclavable and freezable.
Globe pairs its culture tubes with LDPE dual-position snap caps: left in the loose position for aerobic work, or pressed to the sealed position for anaerobic cultures.
