• Without Color Coding: Universal design compatible with custom laboratory labeling systems and color-coding protocols specific to your facility
• Closure-Free Design: Allows flexibility to select appropriate caps, stoppers, or sealing methods based on specific testing requirements and storage protocols

Clinical & Laboratory Applications

Ideal for clinical chemistry analysis, hematology testing, urinalysis procedures, microbiology culture preparation, research sample storage, quality control testing, and general laboratory specimen handling. These test tubes integrate seamlessly into hospital laboratories, diagnostic centers, research facilities, blood banks, veterinary clinics, pharmaceutical quality control departments, and educational laboratory settings.

Quality Standards & Reliability

Manufactured to meet rigorous laboratory supply quality standards, these polypropylene test tubes support your facility's commitment to accurate diagnostic results and specimen integrity. The 3,000 RPM centrifuge rating ensures consistent performance during high-speed separation procedures, while the chemical-resistant construction maintains sample purity throughout testing workflows. The translucent material provides excellent visibility for monitoring sample characteristics, phase separation, and precipitation without compromising specimen security.

Workflow Efficiency Benefits

The round bottom configuration optimizes centrifugation performance by concentrating sediment and cellular material at the tube base, facilitating easier pellet visualization and supernatant removal. The 13x100mm standard dimensions ensure compatibility with existing laboratory equipment including centrifuge rotors, test tube racks, heating blocks, and automated analyzers. The plain additive format provides maximum flexibility for laboratories requiring custom reagent addition or multiple testing protocols from a single specimen.

Packaging & Inventory Management

Available in convenient bulk packaging to support high-volume laboratory operations while reducing per-unit costs and minimizing reorder frequency. Consistent quality and dimensional accuracy across production lots ensure reliable performance and equipment compatibility throughout your supply chain.
