Description
Test tubes made of polystyrene (PS) with a cylindrical body are versatile disposable vessels for sample preparation, short-term holding and general laboratory work. Each tube measures 16 mm in diameter and 100 mm in height, a compact cylindrical format that seats reliably in standard racks and is easy to handle on the bench. The straight-walled profile supports uniform filling, mixing and visual inspection of contents during routine procedures. These tubes come from manufacturer Kartell and are packed as 500 pc(s) with a total weight of 2,300 kg, a practical quantity for medium-throughput laboratories, teaching suites and quality-control stations. Lightweight PS construction reduces handling effort compared with glass while remaining suitable for many aqueous and non-aggressive sample types within the material’s resistance range. Defined outer dimensions help ensure compatibility with existing storage boxes, centrifuge adapters where applicable, and labelling workflows. Whether used for buffer aliquots, intermediate dilutions or everyday sample transfer, the cylindrical PS tubes provide a consistent consumable format that keeps laboratory operations organised and efficient.
This article is part of Test tubes, in Tubes & vials.

Questions about Test tubes, PS, cilindrical, Ø 16 mm, height 100 mm, 500 unit(s)
What is this article?
Test tubes, PS, cilindrical, Ø 16 mm, height 100 mm, 500 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kartell 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.
