Specialized in precision, in every format
When your experiments require absolute purity and resistance to chemical interaction, glass tubes offer an unmatched level of performance. The Glass Tubes by Hirschmann combine chemically inert inserts with high-quality microplate formats to support precision workflows across research, pharmaceutical, and analytical applications.
96-Well Glass Tubes: Flexibility meets purity
The 96-well format is a cornerstone of laboratory workflows, and with Hirschmann’s 1.2 mL glass tubes, it becomes a tool for even the most sensitive tasks. Each glass insert sits within a polypropylene or aluminium plate, delivering thermal stability, solvent resistance, and a completely inert surface.
These plates are available with fixed inserts, ready to use straight from the box, or without inserts, allowing labs to customize and reuse plates as needed. Bulk-packaged glass tubes are also available for those who prefer flexibility.
For workflows that require tracking and data integrity, 2D-coded glass tubes can be supplied on request, ensuring sample traceability without compromising purity.
384-Well Glass Tubes: Throughput without compromise
When your lab needs to increase throughput while preserving sample quality, the 384-well format offers the perfect solution. With 0.25 mL per well, this configuration is ideal for miniaturized reactions, compound libraries, and solvent testing.
Each well contains an individual glass insert, delivering the same chemical and thermal resistance as the larger format. The polypropylene base ensures dimensional stability and seamless integration into an automated system. Fixed or removable inserts provide flexibility, adapting to workflow needs.
These glass tubes are particularly valuable in environments where plastic may compromise sensitive reactions, ensuring sample purity from preparation to analysis.
1536-Well Glass Tubes: Ultra-high throughput meets high purity
Designed for pharmaceutical discovery, biochemical screening, and molecular workflows, the 1536-well format brings maximum efficiency to the lab bench. Each 0.05 mL glass insert is pre-fixed into a sturdy polypropylene plate, ready for robotic workflows and ultra-fast processing.
Despite the extremely small volumes, these glass tubes maintain complete inertness and clarity, essential for high-resolution results in drug screening and enzymatic assays. They allow thousands of tests per plate while preserving consistency, minimizing reagent use, and reducing cross-contamination.
This format supports the most advanced automated environments, perfect for labs where speed, scale, and reproducibility are non-negotiable.
The benefits of choosing glass tubes
Unlike traditional plastic wells, glass tubes offer a chemically inert and biologically stable surface. This reduces the risk of unwanted reactions, leaching, or contamination, factors that can skew assay results or damage sensitive compounds.
Each format in the Hirschmann range includes a protective, clear lid, ensuring inserts stay in place during transport or storage. Autoclavable plat bodies and optional removable tubes mean every lab can find a configuration that fits every exact need.
Built for the demands of modern science
Whether you’re conducting a few targeted assays or thousands of compound tests, Hirschmann glass tubes help you preserve sample integrity at every stage. From high-volume screening to low-volume molecular work, they provide the clarity, resistance, and reliability your research deserves.
