Description
Nalgene™ Universal test tube racks made of polypropylene are rectangular laboratory racks designed to hold tubes with diameters from 16 to 20 mm. A 4 × 10 array provides 40 clearly defined sample positions with 20 mm openings, supporting orderly placement during sample preparation, intermediate holding and routine bench work. Key dimensions are 285 mm width and 115 mm depth, giving a compact footprint that still accommodates a full set of tubes. The polypropylene (PP) construction suits everyday laboratory handling of aqueous and many common reagents. These all-purpose racks from manufacturer Thermo Scientific integrate easily with other Nalgene racks of the same length for consistent workstation layouts. They are not autoclavable and are intended for standard non-sterilisation workflows. Each unit is supplied in a case of four, helping equip multiple benches or storage areas efficiently. The rectangular form keeps tubes upright and accessible, making the rack a practical organiser for research, teaching and quality-control laboratories that rely on 16–20 mm tubes.
This article is part of Test tube racks, in Stands, clamps & racks.
