Frequently Asked Questions
Are these tube racks autoclavable?
Yes. Both racks are molded from polypropylene, which withstands standard steam autoclave cycles, allowing repeated sterilization and reuse without warping under normal conditions.
What tube diameters fit each rack?
SKU 456105 holds 12 mm tubes across 12 positions, while SKU 456106 accommodates 16/17 mm tubes across 10 positions. Match the rack to your tube outer diameter for a secure fit.
How are the racks sold?
Pricing is per individual rack. Each listed SKU corresponds to one white PP rack; order the quantity of racks you need for your bench layout.
Are the racks supplied sterile?
No. Racks ship non-sterile but are autoclave-compatible, so labs requiring sterility can process them in-house before use.
