Maximize airflow and ensure secure test tube support in your incubator, refrigerator, or water bath with Heathrow Scientific's HDPE Coated Wire Tube Racks. Unlike traditional uncoated metal racks that quickly rust and degrade in humid laboratory environments, these heavy-duty steel wire racks are thoroughly encased in a premium, chemically resistant High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) epoxy coating. This protective layer ensures long-lasting durability, preventing corrosion while making the racks easy to wipe clean after accidental spills.
Engineered to accommodate the vast majority of standard laboratory vessels, from small 10 mm blood collection tubes to massive 100 mm centrifuge tubes, the comprehensive 120700 Series offers a perfect fit for any workflow. Every rack features a specialized square mesh bottom support grid that keeps your tubes perfectly upright, preventing tilting or sample cross-contamination during transport. Designed to withstand extreme temperature cycling, they are fully autoclavable for sterilization protocols and are freeze-safe down to -40°C for deep cold storage.
Features & Benefits
- HDPE Epoxy Coating: Protects the internal steel framework from rust, corrosion, and harsh chemical solvents.
- Square Mesh Bottom: The rigid base grid prevents tubes from slipping through or sitting at an angle.
- Extreme Temperature Tolerance: Rated for use in freezers down to -40°C and fully autoclavable at 121°C.
- Open Wire Design: Promotes maximum air circulation and rapid temperature equilibration in incubators and water baths.
- Multiple Configurations: Available in 14 specific formats to hold tubes ranging from 10 mm to 40 mm in diameter.
