    A 16 × 100 mm tube generally holds about 12–15 mL of sample, depending on wall thickness and design.
    Are these tubes leak‑proof and safe for transport?
    When properly tightened, screw‑cap tubes are designed to be highly leak‑resistant and are widely recommended for safe specimen transport and storage.
    Can screw‑cap test tubes be autoclaved?
    Glass screw‑cap culture tubes in borosilicate glass with suitable PP/PTFE caps are commonly described as autoclavable at around 121 °C; always follow the specific manufacturer’s instructions.
    Are these tubes reusable?
