Product Description
Light-sensitive samples and reagents degrade quickly in clear glass. These amber disposable tubes filter damaging light while offering the low sodium leaching of borosilicate, so photosensitive analytes stay stable from preparation through measurement, which makes them a practical choice for vitamin, bilirubin and other light-sensitive work.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 73500-13100A: Amber Plain Disposable Borosilicate Glass Tube, 13 x 100 mm, 10 mL, Case of 1,000. Tubes comply with ASTM E890 and are drawn from amber 5.1 expansion borosilicate glass. They are packed in shrink-wrapped trays that keep tubes aligned and protected from breakage and contamination in transit. There is no marking spot. Sizes are 10 x 75 mm, 13 x 100 mm and 16 x 100 mm. LIGHT LABS ships genuine DWK Life Sciences products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
