Description
Test tubes in polystyrene (PS) with a cylindrical profile offer a practical format for routine sample handling in the laboratory. Each tube measures 16 mm in diameter and 150 mm in height, giving a slender, easy-to-rack geometry suited to visual inspection, mixing, and short-term storage of aqueous or organic samples. The clear PS construction supports straightforward observation of contents and colour changes during qualitative work, teaching practicals, and general wet-chemistry workflows. Supplied as a bulk pack of 850 pc(s) with a total weight of 8,560 kg, the set is intended for high-throughput benches, teaching laboratories, and central stores that need a consistent disposable tube format. These cylindrical test tubes from manufacturer Kartell fit standard racks and holders designed for the 16 mm diameter class and integrate smoothly into everyday sample preparation, reagent aliquoting, and temporary holding steps. Lightweight yet rigid enough for manual handling, they help standardise consumable use across multiple workstations without introducing unnecessary complexity into established protocols.
This article is part of Test tubes, in Tubes & vials.

Questions about Test tubes, PS, cilindrical, Ø 16 mm, height 150 mm, 850 unit(s)
What is this article?
Test tubes, PS, cilindrical, Ø 16 mm, height 150 mm, 850 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.
