Reliable Chemical Resistance

Engineered from borosilicate glass or medical grade plastic, these specimen tubes offer robust resistance to a wide range of laboratory chemicals. This feature ensures sample integrity during storage and handling, minimizing risks of contamination or reaction, which is crucial in laboratory practices.

Autoclavable and Reusable Design

Specimen tubes made from glass and select plastics are autoclavable, allowing for sterilization and safe reuse in laboratory settings. Glass tubes, specifically, can be used multiple times, supporting sustainability and reducing consumable costs.

Versatile Applications in Laboratories

These tubes are expertly designed for sample collection, secure storage, and reliable transport in laboratories or medical facilities. Their cylindrical shape and leakproof design make them suitable for a range of biological, chemical, or clinical tasks.

FAQs of SPECIMEN TUBE:

Q: How should specimen tubes be sterilized before reuse?

A: Specimen tubes made from borosilicate glass or certain medical grade plastics can be sterilized in an autoclave. Always ensure the tube material is rated as autoclavable, and follow standard lab protocols for thorough cleaning and drying before reuse.

Q: What chemicals can these specimen tubes safely resist?

A: These tubes are resistant to most common laboratory chemicals due to their construction from borosilicate glass or medical grade plastic. However, always check compatibility charts for specific reagents if working with highly corrosive substances.

Q: When should a specimen tube be replaced instead of reused?

A: Replace specimen tubes if there are visible cracks, etching, discoloration, or compromised seals. For plastic tubes, do not attempt to reuse unless specifically labeled as autoclavable and reusable.

Q: Where are these specimen tubes most commonly used?

A: Specimen tubes are widely utilized in laboratory and medical settings for collecting, storing, and transporting samples such as blood, serum, or chemical reagents.

Q: What process ensures leakproof performance in these tubes?

A: Precision manufacturing techniques and rigorous quality checks ensure all specimen tubes have secure, leakproof seals. This safeguards sample integrity during handling and transport.

Q: What are the benefits of using borosilicate glass specimen tubes?

A: Borosilicate glass tubes offer excellent chemical resistance, clarity for easy observation, durability under thermal stress, and are suitable for repeated autoclaving, making them ideal for laboratory use.
