Description
Test tubes of borosilicate glass 5.1 with beaded rim, approximately 130 mm long and 14 mm in diameter, provide versatile glass vessels for sample collection, mixing and short-term reactions in the laboratory. Fabricated from borosilicate glass, they offer solid chemical resistance and thermal stability for routine heating, cooling and reagent work. The beaded rim improves mechanical strength at the mouth and eases handling when fitting stoppers or pouring. Delivered as a pack of 100 pc(s), the format supports continuous use in research, teaching and industrial quality-control environments. These tubes from manufacturer Hecht are well suited to aqueous media, many solvents and visual monitoring of colour changes or phase separation. Uniform dimensions help them sit securely in standard tube racks and simplify inventory organisation. Ideal general-purpose sample and reaction tubes for chemistry, life-science and educational benches that need clear, durable glassware in a practical mid-size format.

Questions about Test tubes of borosilicate glass 5.1, with rim mm Ø ca. 130 x14
What is this article?
Test tubes of borosilicate glass 5.1, with rim mm Ø ca. 130 x14 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hecht 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.
