Test Tube, with Interchangeable Stopper, Graduated

The  GISCOM Test Tube with Interchangeable Stopper and Graduations is a precision-engineered laboratory tube designed for accurate measurement, secure sample storage, and reliable experimental handling. The integrated graduations allow quick volume estimation, while the standard interchangeable stopper ensures leak-proof sealing for transport, incubation, or chemical storage. Its robust construction makes it ideal for routine and analytical applications across research labs, universities, pharma, biotech, and QC/QA laboratories.
