Description
Test tubes, heavy-wall, with plain rim, Boro 7.0, approximately 160 mm in length and 16 mm in diameter, are sturdy laboratory vessels intended for routine sample handling, mixing and reaction work. Made from soda-lime glass with a round bottom and smooth plain rim, they combine mechanical robustness with straightforward handling on the bench. The heavy-wall design increases resistance to mechanical stress compared with thinner tubes, making them suitable for everyday use in chemistry, biology and clinical laboratories. These tubes from manufacturer Hecht support heating in appropriate holders or water baths, temporary storage of liquids and solids, and general qualitative work where reliable glassware is required. The plain rim allows easy pouring, stoppering with suitable closures and thorough cleaning between uses. With standard dimensions of 160 mm length by 16 mm diameter, they fit common racks and heating blocks. Supplied as a single piece and originating from Germany, the tubes offer a practical, reusable option for laboratories that need durable soda-lime glass test tubes of this size for daily experimental and analytical tasks.

Questions about Test tubes, heavy wall, rimless, Boro 7.0 mm Ø ca. 160 x16
What is this article?
Test tubes, heavy wall, rimless, Boro 7.0 mm Ø ca. 160 x16 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.
