Tube Racks
A tube rack is an essential piece of laboratory equipment that facilitates the upright positioning of multiple test tubes simultaneously. It is particularly beneficial when working with or collecting various solutions at once. Beyond organization, these racks also ensure the safe storage and convenient transport and cleaning of tubes. Racks for tubes and microtubes are made from a variety of materials, such as plain and epoxy-coated metal, wood, and various plastics, with openings of different sizes to accommodate specific tube diameters.
