Frequently Asked Questions
Does this rack require any tools to assemble?
The rack ships unassembled for compact storage and reduced shipping volume. Assembly requires no tools and is designed for quick setup at the bench before use.
Can this rack be autoclaved between uses?
Yes — polypropylene copolymer is autoclave-compatible, making these racks suitable for reusable applications where periodic steam sterilization or chemical disinfection is required.
What tube diameter does this rack accept?
Each rack is designed for 17 mm diameter test tubes and culture tubes. Confirm your tube's outer diameter before ordering, as tubes even slightly outside this dimension may not seat securely.
How many racks come in a single order of this item?
This listing is for one individual rack. The single-unit format lets laboratories order exactly the quantity needed to match their workstation layout without purchasing a full case.
