Test tube racks

Introduction to Test tube racks

Test tube racks are laboratory utensils used to hold, organize, and store test tubes during handling, incubation, or sample storage. This tool helps minimize the risk of breakage and liquid spills, supporting neat and safe analytical workflows.

When choosing test tube racks, users should consider suitable tube diameters (such as 12mm or 13mm) and the number of positions (such as 50 places, 84 places) to match their workload scale. PP plastic offers high durability, supports autoclaving, and can be used in water baths or refrigerators. The stackable design and alphanumeric grid facilitate systematic sample management and save working space. Hoa Viet currently distributes test tube rack products from Aptaca (Italy) and Vitlab (Germany).
