Tube Racks

# Tube Racks

ZHCLAB Tube Racks deliver professional-grade organization solutions for laboratory tube storage and handling. Manufactured from clear acrylic (PMMA), these racks accommodate tube sizes from 0.2mL microcentrifuge tubes to 100mL centrifuge tubes across 14 precision-engineered configurations.

## Key Features

Comprehensive Tube Compatibility
Fourteen distinct configurations designed for specific tube sizes – from 0.2mL PCR tubes to 100mL large-volume centrifuge tubes. Each rack features optimized well diameter and spacing to securely hold the designated tube size while enabling smooth insertion and removal.

Crystal-Clear Acrylic Construction
Manufactured from high-quality transparent acrylic (PMMA) for excellent visibility of tube contents, labels, and liquid levels. Clear material enables immediate sample identification and inventory verification without removing tubes from the rack.

Precision-Molded Wells
Each well incorporates smooth, polished edges that protect tube surfaces while providing secure, stable positioning. Wells are engineered with optimal depth to support tubes firmly during centrifugation preparation, sample processing, and storage applications.

Stackable Design
Uniform footprint and integrated stacking features enable vertical stacking of multiple racks, maximizing valuable bench and storage space. Stable base design prevents tipping during handling, even when fully loaded with samples.

Chemical Resistance
Acrylic material withstands exposure to common laboratory chemicals including alcohols, mild acids, and bases. Compatible with standard laboratory disinfection protocols using ethanol or isopropanol solutions.

Temperature Stability
Suitable for refrigerated storage (4deg C) and room temperature benchtop applications. Temperature range: -20deg C to +70deg C. Not autoclavable – use chemical disinfection protocols for sterilization.

Easy Maintenance
Smooth, non-porous surface resists contamination and enables efficient cleaning with standard laboratory detergents. Can be wiped down with 70% ethanol or isopropanol for decontamination between uses or between different sample sets.

## Care & Maintenance

Clean with mild laboratory detergent and water, or wipe with 70% ethanol or isopropanol for disinfection. Avoid harsh chemicals such as acetone, chlorinated solvents, or strong acids that may crack or cloud acrylic. Do not autoclave – acrylic will warp at temperatures above 70deg C. For sterilization, use chemical disinfection protocols with compatible agents.
