Block, 12 × 15-16 mm or 12 × 10 mL Blood Tubes

The BSW1516 is the larger blood tube block in the BSW block family — 12 wells for 15-16 mm OD tubes (10 mL blood tube format) — at $164. Larger-OD blood tube format than the BSW13 sister (13 mm OD, 20 positions) — fewer tubes per block reflects the larger tube footprint.
