Description
Nalgene™ floating polypropylene racks for microtubes are round laboratory racks designed for thawing, cooling and incubating samples at high or low temperatures. With 20 positions and a metric inner diameter of 96 mm, each rack holds 1,0–2,0 ml microtubes, including common 1,0, 1,2, 1,5 and 2,0 ml formats, and is sized to fit a 1000 ml beaker. The floating design keeps tubes securely oriented in water baths and similar setups, supporting efficient sample handling in genetic engineering, microbiology and immunology workflows. Manufactured from polypropylene and supplied as a floating microtube rack type from manufacturer Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics, these units are not autoclavable and are intended for routine thermal work rather than steam sterilisation. The round array layout aids organised placement of multiple tubes during incubation or temperature equilibration. Offered as a case of 16 (4 per pack), they provide a practical consumable format for busy molecular and cell-biology benches that need reliable floating support for small-volume tubes.
This article is part of Microcentrifuge & reaction tubes, in Microplates, PCR & reaction tubes.

Questions about Nalgene™ Polypropylene Floating Microtube Racks
What is this article?
Nalgene™ Polypropylene Floating Microtube Racks is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics for laboratory use. It sits in Microcentrifuge & reaction tubes, inside Microplates, PCR & reaction tubes, in Lab consumables.
A microcentrifuge tube, the familiar 1.5 mL or 2 mL flip-cap tube, holds a small reaction or a spin-down. The cap style, the centrifugal-force rating and whether the tube is low-binding are the specification. A PCR tube is thinner and is a different article.
A microplate is an array of wells so the same step can be done many times. A deep-well plate holds more volume. A PCR plate or a strip of tubes is thin-walled so the temperature of a cycler reaches the liquid quickly. A seal keeps the well from evaporating. The well number, the working volume and whether the plate is skirted for a robot are the choices. Diagnostic test systems are listed under ISO in vitro diagnostic systems. Methods are on PubMed.
