16×150 mm Test Tubes without Rim – Precision Rimless Laboratory Tubes
16×150 mm Test Tubes without Rim deliver a streamlined, snag-free profile designed for modern laboratory workflows where automated capping, deep-well incubation, and compact storage racks are utilized. By eliminating the traditional flared lip, these rimless tubes allow stoppers, seals, and automated sample handlers to slide on and off effortlessly without catching. Manufactured from thermal-shock-resistant borosilicate glass or optical-grade plastic, they provide excellent chemical inertness against acids, bases, and biological reagents while ensuring clear visual inspection. Their uniform wall thickness guarantees balanced performance during centrifugation across diagnostic and analytical centers throughout Pakistan.
Key Applications:
-
Automated Clinical Analyzers: Ideal for high-throughput clinical chemistry platforms and automated sample handling systems that require rimless tube geometry.
-
Centrifugation & Sample Aliquoting: Suited for medium-speed centrifugation, blood fractioning, and general liquid sample storage.
-
Chemical Testing & Heating: Used in academic and industrial labs for qualitative reactions, reagent mixing, and controlled heating applications.
