MEDILAB’s Test Tube With Screw Cap (PP) is a durable, leak-proof laboratory tube designed for reliable sample handling, storage, mixing, and centrifugation tasks. Manufactured from high-quality polypropylene, it ensures excellent chemical resistance and secure sealing for sensitive biological, chemical, and clinical samples. These tubes are widely used in research labs, diagnostics, microbiology, and quality-control workflows where dependable sample integrity is essential.
Key Features
- Leak-proof screw cap ensures secure closure and prevents sample evaporation or contamination.
- High-clarity polypropylene body for easy sample visibility.
- Chemically resistant to most acids, bases, and organic solvents.
- Strong mechanical durability, suitable for routine laboratory use.
- Uniform wall thickness for consistent performance.
- Non-cytotoxic and biologically safe for sensitive applications.
- Lightweight and shatter-resistant alternative to glass test tubes.
- Compatible with standard laboratory racks, mixers, and centrifuges (within defined limits).
Material Specifications
Material: Premium Polypropylene (PP)

- Packaging: Sterile or non-sterile options; bulk or individually packed; export-grade corrugated packaging.
- Accessories: Screw caps are included with every tube; coloured cap options are available on request.
Handling & Precautions
- Autoclavable at 121°C (ensure caps are loosened before autoclaving).
- Avoid exposure to temperatures above recommended PP limits to prevent deformation.
- Suitable for mild centrifugation (verify model-specific RPM limits).
- Do not use with strong oxidising agents that may degrade PP.
- Clean using mild laboratory detergents; avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure caps are tightened securely to maintain sample integrity.
- Store in a clean, dry environment away from direct heat.
Applications
- Clinical & Diagnostic Labs: Blood, serum, and sample preparation.
