When standard polypropylene racks fail to meet the rigorous thermal and chemical demands of your laboratory, upgrade to Heathrow Scientific Reinforced Nylon Microtube Racks. Engineered from industrial-grade reinforced nylon, these specialized racks offer significantly higher resistance to extreme heat, corrosive chemicals, and physical impacts than standard plastic alternatives. They are built to safely hold standard 1.5 mL and 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes.
Because nylon is naturally denser than water, these racks will not float or tip over when submerged in laboratory water baths, ensuring your samples remain secure during incubation. For rapid sample tracking, a high-contrast alphanumeric grid is molded directly into the top tier. The racks also feature integrated side handles for safe, one-handed transport and are fully autoclavable for sterile applications. Available in 24-well and high-capacity 96-well configurations.
Features & Benefits
- Reinforced Nylon: Outperforms standard plastics in chemical and heat resistance; will not melt or warp under heavy use.
- Water Bath Stable: Heavy enough to sink and remain completely stable when submerged in water baths.
- Integrated Handles: Large, ergonomic end handles provide a secure grip, even when wearing heavy laboratory gloves.
- Molded Indexing: Alphanumeric coordinates allow for fast, error-free sample tracking and retrieval.
- Fully Autoclavable: Safe for steam sterilization to maintain a strict contamination-free workflow.
