Some polycarbonate characteristics:

Really good thermal properties, not so good on conductivity. I seem
to recall CETI had a process for plating plastic beads, by chemically
treating the surface first, but I don't know if that could be made to
work with polycarbonates.
I see Cole-Parmer sells some very nice polycarbonate test tubes at
$27.00 for a 10 pack.
