Round-bottomed plastic tubes

Plastic test tubes from Bolium are the perfect solution for all your scientific, medical or other needs! These high-quality tubes are made from durable plastic and can withstand repeated use. They are perfect for storing and transporting liquids, powdered substances and samples in any other form. Their leak-proof design ensures that your specimens stay safe, making them ideal for use in science and medicine, of course, but not only there – far from it (we will come back to this). Their practical size makes them easy to carry and transport, while their transparency lets you easily identify their contents. The various models of plastic test tubes from Bolium shown above are available in a wide variety of quantities, with capacities ranging from 2 millilitres to 20 millilitres, so as to meet all your needs effectively, whatever they may be. With this in mind, we also offer several closure options so that you can have a perfectly airtight container if that is what you need.

As you can well imagine, round-bottomed plastic tubes are commonplace in many medical establishments and in laboratories that carry out a great deal of testing and research; but also in all the other activities – far more numerous than you might think – that also use plastic test tubes every day and in large quantities: floral art and interior decoration, food (for packaging, for making culinary preparations, for presentation, etc.), for collectors, in haberdashery shops for storing very small items, etc.

They are often used to hold small quantities of liquid, powder or solid matter to be analysed, studied or stored. Plastic test tubes are generally less expensive than their glass counterparts and are less likely to break.

Using plastic test tubes has several advantages. First of all, plastic is a lightweight material. Your plastic tubes will therefore be very easy to transport (very practical if you need to transport large quantities regularly) and to handle. Secondly, plastic is a poor conductor of heat, which becomes an advantage when you use it to store hot liquids, with no risk of breakage, and makes handling easier. Finally, if your business uses a lot of test tubes, the greatest advantage of the plastic tube is its price. Since it is less expensive than its glass counterpart, opting for plastic will enable you to make significant savings if you do not particularly need the advantages of glass.

Plastic test tubes for flowers

Floristry is probably the most common example of round-bottomed tubes being used outside laboratories. Florists love the plastic test tube for several reasons. It can be an elegant and sturdy bud vase, but it can also be used in larger floral arrangements. It can also protect a flower or its stem to help it get through the winter.

Plastic test tubes for food use

We mentioned food earlier, but you cannot (quite) see where or how? Yet tubes have a great many different uses: they can be used for packaging (before and/or after sale) liquid foodstuffs (dressings, oils, sauces…) or non-liquid ones (sugared almonds, vanilla, spices…); but also for serving in restaurants or at home if you want to add a touch of elegance to spices and other seasonings that everyone can add to their dish as they please once at the table.
