Test Tube Stand (Wire Pattern) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Test Tube Stand (Wire Pattern) (Product Code: SLE/CH/53) is a grid-style test tube rack that follows the open layout of a traditional wire rack but is moulded from a special blend of polypropylene. The blend makes the rack sink in a water bath and stay stable even in agitated water, so it is an economical substitute for wire racks in incubation and heating work. It is submersible, autoclavable, stackable when empty and easy to take apart for cleaning, and is offered in formats from 13 mm x 90 tubes to 30 mm x 21 tubes. The rack is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Formats (tube diameter x number of tubes):

• 13 mm x 90 tubes
• 16 mm x 60 tubes
• 20 mm x 40 tubes
• 25 mm x 24 tubes
• 30 mm x 21 tubes

Typical Use

Ordinary plastic racks tend to float and tip when placed in a water bath, spilling tubes. This rack is weighted by its material rather than by metal, so a full load of tubes can be incubated at a set temperature for enzyme experiments, serological tests, sugar tests with Benedict's reagent or culture work, and the rack stays put even if the bath is shaken. The open grid lets water circulate around every tube for even heating, and the rack can go straight from the bath into the autoclave.

Pick the format by tube diameter: the 13 mm and 16 mm versions suit small test tubes and culture tubes in large numbers, while the 25 mm and 30 mm versions take boiling tubes and larger vessels. Different colours help separate batches or classes, and when the session is over the racks stack together to save cupboard space. This makes it a practical piece of microbiology lab equipment in India for teaching and routine labs alike.
