Description
Nalgene™ polycarbonate test tube racks are rectangular laboratory organisers engineered to hold tubes from 13 to 16 mm in diameter. Each rack provides a 4 × 10 array with 40 sample positions and 16 mm openings, supporting clear layout of samples during preparation, incubation or short-term holding. Constructed from polycarbonate (PC), the racks are autoclavable and stackable, and feature integrated handles that simplify safe transport between benches and instruments. Overall dimensions are approximately 285 mm in width and 115 mm in depth (about 11 × 4,5 in), giving a stable rectangular footprint for crowded workspaces. Supplied as a case of four units from manufacturer Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics, these Nalgene™ racks combine mechanical strength with practical handling for repeated laboratory use. They are intended for general tube organisation where reliable positioning and cleaning after autoclaving are essential. The polycarbonate body maintains shape under typical lab conditions while the handle design helps reduce spill risk during movement between work areas.
This article is part of Test tube racks, in Stands, clamps & racks.

Questions about Nalgene™ Polycarbonate General Purpose Test Tube Racks
What is this article?
Nalgene™ Polycarbonate General Purpose Test Tube Racks is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics for laboratory use. It sits in Test tube racks, inside Stands, clamps & racks, in Labware.
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.
