The 16 x 160 mm tube is a general-purpose size in school chemistry lab equipment for India: large enough for heating a few millilitres of liquid, testing gases with a glowing or burning splint, displacement and precipitation reactions, and indicator colour tests, yet easy to handle in a test tube holder.
Rimless tubes are easy to stopper: moisten the rubber stopper slightly and twist it in gently rather than forcing it. When heating, warm the tube near the surface of the liquid first and keep it moving in the flame to avoid sudden boiling.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this rimless test tube. The tube is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied directly to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers.
Because the manufacturer handles quotations and repeat orders itself, buyers can match the same tube code term after term — ask us. See the ScienceLab profile for more about the company.
