Description
Drosophila cultivation tubes in polypropylene (PP) are culture vessels sized Ø 28 × H 85 mm for rearing and maintaining fruit-fly stocks in genetics, developmental biology and teaching laboratories. The cylindrical format gives a compact footprint on racks and incubators while offering sufficient headspace for medium, larvae and adult flies. Each pack contains 950 pieces, supporting high-throughput fly rooms and multi-generation experiments without frequent reordering. Polypropylene construction provides a practical balance of clarity, toughness and chemical resistance for standard Drosophila media and handling routines. These tubes sit in the culture-vial and culture-tube segment of microbiology, molecular biology and cell-culture labware. Offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH, the Ø 28 × H 85 mm PP tubes are intended for everyday Drosophila cultivation workflows. Total pack weight is 5,000 kg, reflecting the large unit count. Laboratories can pair the tubes with matching plugs or closures from the same cultivation range to complete mite-aware housing setups. Consistent dimensions aid automated or manual transfer, labelling and storage across experimental cohorts.
This article is part of Test tubes, in Tubes & vials.

Questions about Drosophila cultivation tubes, PP, Ø 28 x H 85 mm, 950 unit(s)
What is this article?
Drosophila cultivation tubes, PP, Ø 28 x H 85 mm, 950 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth 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.
