Plain Glass Disposable Culture Tubes
Manufacturer: United Scientific
The Plain Glass Disposable Culture Tubes from United Scientific are designed for everyday laboratory applications, including cell culture, chemistry mixing, and clinical testing. These tubes are manufactured from 5.1 Expansion Borosilicate Glass, providing superior chemical durability and thermal resistance compared to standard flint glass. The rimless design ensures a smooth, consistent top that is easy to plug with stoppers or cotton, while the sturdy walls meet USP Type 1 and ASTM E438 requirements. Whether you are performing routine serial dilutions or sensitive biological assays, these Class B tubes offer the purity and consistency required for professional results.

Lead Times May Vary
Available in a wide range of capacities to suit micro-sampling or large-volume mixing.
Features:
- 5.1 Borosilicate glass is virtually inert, preventing pH shifts and ion leaching that can interfere with sensitive enzymatic or chemical reactions.
- Designed to withstand moderate temperature changes, these tubes are suitable for heating samples in water baths or dry blocks.
- Precision-molded round bottoms and consistent wall thickness ensure reliable performance in centrifuges (at moderate speeds) and consistent heat transfer.
- Sold in cases containing four inner boxes, allowing for easy distribution across different lab benches or storage areas while keeping the tubes dust-free.
Laboratory Handling Tips:
- Single Use Guidelines: While borosilicate glass is durable, these are designated as disposable (Class B). Reusing them after heavy chemical exposure or multiple sterilization cycles may compromise the glass integrity.
- Storage & Safety: Always inspect tubes for small "checks" or cracks upon unpacking. Even high-quality borosilicate can be damaged by rough handling during shipping.
- Plugging: The rimless top is optimized for use with plastic caps, rubber stoppers, or foam plugs. Ensure you select a closure that matches the outer diameter (OD) of the tube for a secure fit.
