Product Description
Reliable results start with a tube that will not leach sodium into your samples. These disposable borosilicate tubes give clinical, research and microbiology labs a clean, inert vessel for single-use work, arriving in protective trays that keep tubes aligned and ready to load straight into racks.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 73500-18150: Plain Disposable Borosilicate Glass Tube, 18 x 150 mm, 28.5 mL, Case of 500. Tubes are drawn from 5.1 expansion borosilicate glass and comply with ASTM E890. They are packed in shrink-wrapped trays that resist transit breakage and contamination and store neatly on benches or in drawers. There is no marking spot. Sizes run from the 6 x 50 mm Durham tube up to 25 x 150 mm. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order alongside the rest of your glassware and closures.
