Globe Scientific's 4-Way Microtube Workstation eliminates this with a back-row locking system that holds tubes securely for one-handed cap operation, freeing the other hand for pipetting. The rack accommodates four microtube formats simultaneously — 1.5mL microcentrifuge, 2.0mL microcentrifuge, 0.2mL PCR, and screwcap microtubes — in a single workstation that handles mixed-format protocols without rack changes between steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eAvailable in Blue (111780B), Green (111780G), and Red (111780R) at $17.20\/EA.
