12×75 mm Test Tubes – Serology & Clinical Sample Tubes
12×75 mm Test Tubes provide a reliable, shatterproof, and cost-effective container solution for routine clinical diagnostics, immunological assays, and liquid handling workflows. 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:
-
Blood Bank & Serological Testing: Standard tube size used for ABO/Rh blood grouping, cross-matching, Coombs testing, and antibody screening in blood banks.
-
Clinical Pathology & Immunoassay: Ideal for serology, radioimmunoassay (RIA), urine analysis, and sample storage in routine diagnostic laboratories.
-
Sample Preparation & Centrifugation: Used across research institutes for vortexing, serial dilutions, sample fraction collection, and low-to-medium speed centrifugation.
