Veterinary Disposable
Test Tube (borocilicate)
In stock
The borosilicate test tube is a staple of the veterinary diagnostic laboratory. Because it is highly resistant to extreme thermal shock and chemical corrosion, veterinarians and lab technicians can safely heat samples over open flames or centrifuge fluids at high speeds.

Specs & features.
These test tubes are crafted from borosilicate glass, a specialized material containing silica and boron trioxide known for its incredibly low coefficient of thermal expansion. They feature a uniform wall thickness, a rounded U-shaped bottom to maximize fluid retrieval, and either a straight rim or a flared "lip" for clean pouring. Available in standard laboratory sizes (such as 10 mL to 30 mL capacities), they can be tightly sealed using rubber stoppers, corks, or plastic screw caps to prevent the escape of volatile or infectious veterinary pathogens.
No specifications have been listed.
- High Thermal Shock Resistance: Can withstand rapid temperature fluctuations (e.g., moving directly from a laboratory freezer to a boiling hot water bath) without cracking or shattering.
- Exceptional Chemical Inertness: Highly resistant to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, guaranteeing that the glass will not leach minerals into animal specimens or skew sensitive biochemical readings.
- Superior Optical Clarity: Completely transparent glass allows for precise visual evaluation of sample colors, precipitates, and distinct fluid separation layers (such as plasma vs. red blood cells).
