Questions about Test tube racks

Which material should I choose for a test tube rack: PP, stainless steel, PVC or foam?

PP racks are light, resist many chemicals and come in colours for sorting samples. Stainless steel racks are robust, do not float and suit water baths and heavy use, such as the tube rack, stainless steel, 40 holes, 18 mm. PVC racks are an economical option for general use. Foam racks are light and insulating, and some float in a water bath, like the test tube rack, 16.5 mm, foam. Whether a rack can be autoclaved is stated on the product page only. Tubes are in test tubes. Questions? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

How do I choose the right hole diameter and number of positions?

Take the outer diameter of your tubes and choose a hole slightly larger, so tubes go in and out easily without wobbling. Common hole sizes such as 13, 16, 18, 25 or 30 mm are in the product titles; a 16 mm tube fits a rack for 16 or 16.5 mm. Then choose the number of positions for your batch size and bench space: a rack with many places saves space per tube but takes more room overall. Racks with different hole sizes on each side, such as the tube rack, PP, 4-sided, are flexible. Tubes are in test tubes. Questions? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

Rack for test tubes, centrifuge tubes or microtubes: which do I need?

Choose the rack for the tube type. Conical 15 and 50 ml centrifuge tubes do not stand on their own and need a rack with matching deep holes; tubes are in centrifuge tubes. Microtubes of 1.5 and 2 ml need small racks with narrow holes, such as the test tube rack for 1.5 ml microtubes, PP, blue or the rack for micro sample tubes. Round-bottomed test tubes go into standard racks by diameter. If you use several types, a set of racks in different colours keeps samples apart. Questions? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

Can I use the rack in a water bath, fridge or autoclave?

Only as far as the product page states, because heat and cold resistance depend on material and design. Stainless steel racks, such as the tube rack, stainless steel, 40 holes, 18 mm, and many PP racks are used in water baths; floating racks hold tubes upright on the water surface. In a fridge or freezer, most plastic racks work, but some become brittle in the cold. Autoclave a rack only if the product page says it is autoclavable. Baths are in water and oil baths. Unsure about a specific rack? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

Why Test tube racks?

A test-tube rack holds tubes upright in an order the operator can read back. The hole diameter and the number of places have to match the tubes. An autoclave-safe rack and a cardboard rack are not interchangeable once heat is involved.

A stand, a clamp and a rack hold something still so the hands can do the work. A bosshead locks a clamp to a rod. A test-tube rack keeps tubes upright and in an order the operator can read back. The failure is almost always mechanical: the clamp slips, or the rack does not match the tube diameter. The glass they support is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
