Test Tube Stand, 3-Tier Polypropylene, 12 Places

Description

The Test Tube Stand, 3-Tier Polypropylene, 12 Places, also known as a laboratory test tube rack or polypropylene tube holder, is designed for organising, supporting and storing test tubes during routine laboratory procedures. Manufactured from polypropylene (PP), this test tube stand offers a durable, lightweight and practical solution for laboratories requiring reliable tube organisation. The stand features a three-tier configuration, providing convenient access to individual tubes while helping maintain upright positioning during sample preparation, handling and laboratory experiments.

With a capacity of 12 test tubes, the rack is designed for tubes with a listed diameter of 32 mm. Users should confirm the external diameter of their tubes and the rack opening dimensions before ordering. The polypropylene construction is uniformly coloured and opaque, making the stand suitable for routine laboratory environments where durable plasticware is preferred. The stand is described as autoclavable, supporting compatible laboratory cleaning and sterilisation procedures. Recommended autoclaving temperatures, exposure times and repeated-cycle limits should be confirmed with the manufacturer.

Its sub-freezing temperature compatibility also makes it suitable for certain low-temperature laboratory environments, subject to the specified operating conditions and material limitations. The rack measures 13 cm high × 26 cm long, offering a compact arrangement for laboratory workbenches, teaching stations and sample preparation areas. The stable three-tier design helps reduce accidental tube movement and supports orderly sample handling. However, the rack should be positioned on a level surface and must not be relied upon to prevent all spills or breakages.

This product is suitable for chemistry, biology, microbiology, research and educational laboratories requiring practical test tube storage and organisation. Safety Precautions: Ensure tubes are correctly seated, avoid overloading and confirm chemical compatibility before use. Handle glass test tubes carefully and follow appropriate laboratory procedures when working with hazardous samples.
