Test tubes

Plastic laboratory glassware is glassware that is made of industrial polymeric materials such as: transparent polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, etc. These polymers are endowed with appropriate properties for use in the laboratory.

Many chemical reagents (acids and alkalis) are only allowed to be stored in plastic containers. Lab utensils made of plastic are much lighter than those made of glass. It comes in reusable, and it also comes in disposable, which allows you to eliminate the need to clean the dishes of reagents after the experiment.

With plastic vessels, it is easier to maintain sterile conditions during the experiment. Plastic flasks, beakers, petri dishes, pipettes, tips, culture bottles, blood collection systems, biomaterial containers and test tubes are much more hygienic and convenient to use than their glass counterparts.

Of course, the main advantage of plastic tubes is their resistance to mechanical stress and, accordingly, they can not cause damage to the skin of medical staff, which is especially important in the prevention of hemocontact infections.
