12×100 mm Test Tubes – Serology & Clinical Sample Tubes
12×100 mm Test Tubes provide a reliable, shatterproof, and cost-effective container solution for routine clinical chemistry, serological assays, and specialized sample handling. Designed with a uniform wall thickness and a smooth round bottom, these tubes ensure consistent sedimentation and maximum thermal and mechanical stability during centrifugation. The ultra-smooth inner surface minimizes cell attachment and fluid retention, while the precision rim ensures a tight, leak-proof fit with standard push caps or stopper closures. Available in both optical PS (ideal for visual inspection and spectrophotometry) and autoclavable PP (ideal for chemical resistance), these tubes meet international quality standards for medical and analytical testing across Pakistan.
Key Applications:
-
Clinical Chemistry & Serological Testing: Standard elongated tube size used for blood sample processing, serum separation, cross-matching, and routine serology in clinical labs.
-
Pathology & Diagnostic Workflows: Ideal for sample aliquoting, urine analysis, viral transport media, and assay incubation in diagnostic centers.
-
Sample Preparation & Centrifugation: Used across academic and industrial research labs for vortexing, serial dilutions, sample fraction collection, and low-to-medium speed centrifugation.
