Organize and secure your laboratory samples with Heathrow Scientific Tube Wire Racks. Designed for high durability and chemical resistance, these racks are constructed from epoxy or HDPE-coated steel, making them an excellent choice for both heavy-duty benchtop use and long-term cold storage down to -40°C.

Description

Overview

The three-deck design provides superior stability for a wide variety of tube types, ensuring that your samples remain upright during transport or incubation.

Features:

Universal Compatibility: Specifically sized for 13 mm to 16 mm tubes, including standard culture tubes, blood collection tubes, and small centrifuge tubes
Enhanced Stability: Features a three-deck level system with a middle rung and a slotted bottom to prevent tubes from sliding or tilting
Chemical & Thermal Resistance: The thick coating (available in HDPE or Epoxy) resists organic solvents and salts while remaining stable in freezers
Fully Autoclavable: Can be sterilized at 121°C for 15 minutes, making them suitable for microbiology and clinical labs
Reinforced Edges: Built with heavy-gauge steel and reinforced edges to withstand the rigors of a high-throughput laboratory environment

Application Insight:

These racks are particularly useful for clinical diagnostic labs using 13 x 75 mm or 16 x 100 mm blood collection tubes. The slotted bottom is a critical feature because it allows for excellent drainage and airflow during autoclaving or if used in a water bath, preventing "buoyancy" issues often found with solid-bottom plastic racks.

Storage Tip: If using these racks for long-term storage in a walk-in freezer, the HDPE coating provides a "cushioning" effect that helps prevent glass tubes from cracking during thermal expansion.
