Description
Sample tubes, PS, 16 x 100 mm, round bottom are clear polystyrene tubes intended for collection, short-term storage and processing of liquid or suspension samples in the laboratory. Each tube has a diameter of 16 mm, a height of 100 mm and a round bottom, providing a nominal volume of 0,012 l. Manufactured from polystyrene (PS), the tubes offer good optical clarity for visual inspection of contents and are supplied non-sterile in bulk packs of 1000 pieces. They are appropriate for routine sample handling, centrifugation-compatible workflows where PS is suitable, and general bench-top use in clinical, chemical and research settings. Available from manufacturer Ratiolab, these round-bottom sample tubes integrate readily into standard racks and laboratory protocols, supporting efficient organisation of multiple specimens while remaining lightweight and economical for high-throughput applications that do not require sterile or specialised polymer grades.
This article is part of Round-bottom flasks, in Beakers & flasks. See also Flat-bottom flasks.

Questions about Test Tubes, PS, 16 x 100 mm, round bottom
What is this article?
Test Tubes, PS, 16 x 100 mm, round bottom is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Ratiolab for laboratory use. It sits in Round-bottom flasks, inside Beakers & flasks, in Labware.
A round-bottom flask is the heating flask of a distillation or a reflux. The curved wall takes the heat, and the ground neck connects to a still head or a condenser. The joint size, not only the volume, has to match the rest of the set.
A beaker is an open working vessel: easy to pour, poor as a measure. An Erlenmeyer flask has a flat base and a conical wall so a liquid can be swirled without climbing out. A round-bottom flask is for heating under a condenser, because the heat meets a curved wall and the joint at the neck connects to the rest of the glassware. Borosilicate is the glass that survives the temperature change. These forms are listed under ISO laboratory glassware.
