Globe Scientific, Inc. Globe Scientific Plastic Culture Tubes & Caps

Yes, sterile configurations of the Globe Scientific plastic culture tubes are available to meet stringent laboratory requirements. These options are specifically designed for applications requiring a contamination-free environment, such as cell culture or microbiology. Certain sterile configurations utilize Polystyrene (PS) material, making them suitable for the most sensitive laboratory applications.

Yes, these plastic culture tubes are available in configurations that include high-utility Dual Position Caps.

These caps are designed to offer two key modes for laboratory work:

• Sealed Position: Provides secure containment for safe storage and transport.
• Vented Position: Allows necessary gas exchange for culture growth while minimizing the risk of contamination.

Depending on the configuration you select, the caps may be supplied pre-attached to the tube, unattached (included separately), or they can be purchased separately as cap-only packages.

Yes, these Globe Scientific culture tubes are ideal for several key applications in laboratory or clinical settings, including:

• General cell culture
• Microbiological testing
• Sample storage

They are engineered for precision and compatibility within standard laboratory equipment that handles 12mm and 17mm diameter tubes.

Yes, many configurations of these culture tubes utilize a Dual Position Cap, which offers versatility for different laboratory applications.

The dual position feature is highly beneficial, allowing for:

• Aerobic Incubation: The cap can be set in a loose position to facilitate necessary gas exchange.
• Secure Sealing: The cap can be fully tightened for leak-resistant sample storage or transport.

Tubes are available in several configurations regarding the cap:

• Tubes with an Attached Dual Position Cap (sterile options are offered).
• Tubes with an Unattached Dual Position Cap.
• Dual Position Caps can also be purchased separately.

The general lead time for the Globe Scientific plastic culture tubes is estimated to be 4–5 weeks.

These products typically ship directly from the manufacturer. Please note that the specific estimated delivery date (ETD) may vary based on the chosen configuration, such as size, material (PS or PP), and sterility status.

Yes, these culture tubes offer excellent flexibility in closure options. They are available in various configurations utilizing the versatile Dual Position Cap:

• Tubes with Attached Dual Position Cap: The caps are integrated for maximum convenience.
• Tubes with Unattached Dual Position Cap: The caps are included but provided separately.
• Tubes Only: Configurations are also available without caps if you are using a different closure method.
• Dual Position Caps Only: The caps can be purchased separately for use with existing tubes.

Yes, these culture tubes are available in two distinct high-quality material options, allowing you to select the best fit for your specific laboratory requirements:

• Polystyrene (PS): This material offers excellent clarity, making it ideal for applications where critical visual inspection of samples is necessary.
• Polypropylene (PP): This option provides enhanced durability and superior chemical resistance, catering to a broader range of experimental needs, especially concerning temperature tolerance and chemical exposure.

This versatility in materials ensures compatibility for general laboratory work, microbiology, and cell culture preparation.

These plastic culture tubes are available in two standard, versatile dimensions suitable for common laboratory applications:

• 12 x 75mm
• 17 x 100mm

Yes, the Globe Scientific culture tubes and caps are available in a wide range of packaging configurations to meet both high-volume and specialized laboratory needs.

These products are typically supplied in Bags (bg), Boxes (bx), and Cases (cs). The specific quantity per package varies based on the chosen configuration (material, size, and cap type).

Examples of available packaging arrangements include:

• Small Quantities: Starting as low as 25 units per bag.
• Large Quantities: Up to 1000 units per bag (1000/bg).
• Case Formats: Various case configurations are available, such as 4 boxes per case (4bx/cs) or 20 bags per case (20 bg/cs).

Yes, these plastic culture tubes are offered in two primary, highly useful standard laboratory dimensions:

• 12 x 75mm
• 17 x 100mm

This selection of sizes ensures they are suitable for a wide variety of cell culture and general scientific applications.
