Frequently asked questions
Do specific tubes include molded graduations?
Yes, specific variants of the Globe Scientific Transport Tubes include molded graduations. These are found on certain 5 mL and 10 mL options, providing precise volume measurement directly on the tube.
Are these tubes suitable for light-sensitive samples?
Yes, Globe Scientific Transport Tubes are available in an amber color option, which is specifically designed to help protect light-sensitive samples from degradation.
Do any tubes have a conical bottom?
Yes, some variants of the Globe Scientific Transport Tubes are available with a conical bottom, which is often beneficial for concentrating samples or ensuring maximum retrieval of precipitates.
What sample volumes can these tubes hold?
These transport tubes offer a versatile selection of volume capacities designed to suit diverse laboratory needs, from small clinical samples to larger volumes. The three primary volume options are:
- 5 mL
- 10 mL: Note that the 10 mL variant is also available in an Amber color for protecting light-sensitive contents.
- 30 mL
This range ensures users can select the optimal size for their specific transport and storage requirements.
What cap colors help with organization?
Yes, the Globe Scientific Transport Tubes utilize color-coded screw caps to help streamline sample organization and differentiation in laboratory settings.
Depending on the specific variant chosen, the available cap colors are:
- White
- Blue
- Green
These caps are offered in various configurations, including attached and unattached (separate) options, which allows for potential color-coding of samples or processes.
Are these tubes suitable for various liquid sample types?
Yes, these Globe Scientific Transport Tubes are ideal for storing and transporting liquid samples in laboratories, medical facilities, and research environments. They are designed for safe and secure sample transportation.
What durable materials are used for these tubes?
The Globe Scientific transport tubes are available in two main material types, offering versatility tailored to specific laboratory and sample requirements:
- Polypropylene (PP): This material is highly valued for its excellent robustness and chemical resistance. It is the preferred choice for applications involving harsh reagents or requiring superior durability.
- Polystyrene (PS): This option provides outstanding optical clarity, making it ideal when maximum visibility of the sample contents is essential for general handling and analysis.
Additionally, for samples sensitive to light, the 10 mL volume configuration is available with an Amber-colored tube body to provide necessary light protection.
What are the bulk packaging quantities?
The Globe Scientific Transport Tubes are supplied in high-volume case quantities, which is ideal for routine laboratory and research settings. The packaging options are:
- 500 tubes per case
- 1000 tubes per case
The specific quantity you receive depends on the selected variant’s material, volume, and closure configuration.
What versatile tube configurations are offered?
The Globe Scientific Transport Tubes offer extensive customization in material, volume, and specialized features to meet various laboratory requirements.
