Overview

This 10 mL transport tube from Typenex is a polypropylene vessel designed for secure storage and transport of biological materials. The tube is freestanding, translucent, and includes a screw cap (non-sterile as per the “XNS” code) for sample containment.

Highlights

• 10 mL capacity
• Constructed of translucent polypropylene
• Molded graduations for easy volume estimation and a frosted writing area for labelling
• Leak-resistant design, tested to 95 kPa to meet safe transit standards

At-a-glance

• Material: Polypropylene (translucent)
• Capacity: 10 mL
• Dimensions (approx.): 16 × 94 mm (diameter × length)
• Cap type: Screw cap (non-sterile variant “XNS” as per provided SKU)
• Seal integrity: Leak-resistant up to 95 kPa (meets pressure-transit requirements)

Applications

• Collection, transport, and storage of biological specimens or liquid samples
• Use in non-sterile workflows where sterile containment is not required
• Routine sample handling in research, diagnostic, or laboratories requiring robust transport tubes

Sustainability

Use of surplus/second-hand tubes reduces demand for new virgin-plastic disposables. Reusing these tubes when sterility is not essential can contribute to lowering plastic waste in the laboratory.
