Description
TR 2 test tube insert holds 24 plastic test tubes of 5 ml with a diameter of Ø12 mm and functions as a specialised attachment for laboratory rotator systems. It is configured for the IKA Trayster basic and Trayster digital platforms, providing stable positioning of mid-volume tubes during end-over-end mixing. Typical uses include sample homogenisation, liquid–liquid extraction, staining procedures, and other protocols that require controlled rotation of multiple 5 ml vessels in parallel. The twenty-four-position layout supports efficient batch processing while keeping each tube firmly seated throughout the mixing cycle. Offered by manufacturer IKA, the insert attaches directly to the Trayster unit for quick format changes between different tube sizes. With a net weight of 0,099 kg, the accessory is lightweight yet robust enough for regular laboratory handling. Its defined diameter and capacity help laboratories standardise workflows involving plastic reagent tubes and maintain consistent sample orientation. The TR 2 insert therefore expands the application range of Trayster instruments for routine preparation and processing tasks in research and analytical environments.

Questions about TR 2, Tube insert, 24 x 5 ml, Ø12 mm
What is this article?
TR 2, Tube insert, 24 x 5 ml, Ø12 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Test tubes, inside Tubes & vials, in Labware.
A test tube is the open cylindrical vessel for a small liquid, in borosilicate glass or in plastic. Rimmed and rimless mouths differ. The size is diameter by length. It is not graduated for a result, and a glass tube that will be centrifuged has a force limit.
A tube holds a small sample upright. A test tube is the open glass or plastic cylinder. A centrifuge tube is conical so a pellet forms at the tip, and it is rated for a centrifugal force the rotor will actually reach. A vial is a small closed bottle, often for a sample that will sit in an instrument. NMR tubes are a special case: the glass has to be uniform or the spectrum is the tube, not the sample. Laboratory ware is listed under ISO laboratory glassware.
