I am starting to run really low on test tubes and was wondering if anyone has any good recommendations on where to get a lot of test tubes for cheap?

 

Thank you for your time!

Karter scientific, borosilicate glass is easier to disinfect because it can withstand more rapid temperature changes without thermal shock. For 25 it is $4 cheaper to buy from amazon (at least for my location) or for 250 buying from their website is over $40 cheaper. There may be cheaper but this is the cheapest glass tubes I know of.

 

Amazon link: https://www.amazon.c...247&sr=8-3&th=1

 

I also found this although it seems they have a record of poor packing and arriving with broken test tubes: https://www.amazon.c...250&sr=8-6&th=1

Hello,

I get my test tubes from tarheelants.

And many Carnivorous plants such as: Dionea muscipula (fly trap), Sarracenia x 'Fiona' ( American Pitcher plant), Nepenthese ventrata (Tropical Pitcher plant), and Pinguicula agnata x emarginata (Butterwort) (show off your plants here)

Godzilla thread

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores it's provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. Proverbs 6: 6-8

I do the same. TarHeelAnts packages the test tubes very well. I always end of getting more than just test tubes when I order from him (so many high quality formicariums and supplies).
