Supplied as an individual unit in unassembled format, the rack ships compactly and stores flat until needed, then assembles quickly for immediate use. The red color enables rapid visual identification of rack categories — useful for STAT specimens, priority assays, or multi-rack workstation organization where color coding reduces handling errors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number (MPN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240-3201-R8SI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTest Tube Rack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTube Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Positions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRack Color\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolypropylene Copolymer (PPC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-Sterile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndividual Unit, Unassembled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Rack\/Unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBPA \/ Phthalate Free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLot Numbered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClinical chemistry: organizing 17 mm test tubes during sample preparation, dilution, and analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHematology and microbiology: stable 60-position tube holding during incubation or processing runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlood bank specimen management: red color-coding to designate priority or STAT sample batches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCell culture and microbiology: holding culture tubes during growth and observation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndustrial and quality control laboratories: high-density tube organization at benchtop workstations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-rack workstation setups: color-coded rack assignment by assay type, urgency, or department\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChemical Resistance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReagent \/ Condition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAqueous buffers \/ saline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcellent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDilute acids and bases\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcellent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlcohols (e.g., isopropanol, ethanol \u0026lt;70%)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGood — short-term contact\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon laboratory disinfectants\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutoclave sterilization\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChlorinated \/ aromatic solvents (e.g., chloroform, xylene)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot recommended\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuality \u0026amp; Procurement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in USA, these Caplugs® Evergreen tube racks are manufactured from BPA-free, phthalate-free polypropylene copolymer resin and are lot-numbered for full traceability in regulated environments — supporting CAP, CLIA, and ISO 15189 documentation requirements.
