Description
Insert tubes for scintillation vials, 4 ml, Ø x H: 14 x 56 mm are compact laboratory inserts designed to reduce the effective sample volume inside standard scintillation vials during liquid scintillation counting. Each tube is produced from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in a natural colour, with an outer diameter of 14 mm, a height of 56 mm and a working volume of 4 ml. Placing the insert into a compatible outer vial enables economical use of sample and cocktail while retaining familiar outer geometry for counters and racks. The pack contains 2000 pieces, making the format practical for routine and high-throughput laboratories. These insert tubes from manufacturer Ratiolab offer HDPE chemical resistance together with consistent dimensions for reliable seating. Natural colouring allows quick visual inspection of contents before counting. Applications include low-volume radiotracer work, conservation of limited samples and any scintillation protocol where a smaller inner geometry improves efficiency or lowers reagent consumption without changing the outer vial format used by the instrument.

Questions about Insert Tubes for Scintillation Bottles, 4 ml, Ø x H: 14 x 56 mm
What is this article?
Insert Tubes for Scintillation Bottles, 4 ml, Ø x H: 14 x 56 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Ratiolab for laboratory use. It sits in Test tubes, inside Tubes & vials, in Labware.
A test tube is the open cylindrical vessel for a small liquid, in borosilicate glass or in plastic. Rimmed and rimless mouths differ. The size is diameter by length. It is not graduated for a result, and a glass tube that will be centrifuged has a force limit.
A tube holds a small sample upright. A test tube is the open glass or plastic cylinder. A centrifuge tube is conical so a pellet forms at the tip, and it is rated for a centrifugal force the rotor will actually reach. A vial is a small closed bottle, often for a sample that will sit in an instrument. NMR tubes are a special case: the glass has to be uniform or the spectrum is the tube, not the sample. Laboratory ware is listed under ISO laboratory glassware.
