Product Description
Keep microtubes upright and above the waterline during incubations, thaws and ice-bath work without balancing them by hand. These buoyant racks ride on the surface of a water bath or can be pressed down into crushed ice, so samples stay organized and easy to reach whenever your protocol calls for repeated submersion.
This listing is for catalog number HS2134A: Floating Microtube Rack Round 20 Tubes 1.5 mL, White, Pack of 4. Each rack is molded from autoclavable polypropylene and holds standard 1.5 and 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes. Removable legs let the rack stand on the bench when attached; with the legs off, pressing the rack down on a flat surface pops tubes up for quick retrieval. Two formats are offered: a 16-well version with square wells and a 20-well version with round wells. LIGHT LABS stocks the Heathrow Scientific line, so racks, replacement parts and consumables are easy to reorder.
Key Features
- Floats in liquid – Buoyant polypropylene body keeps tubes suspended in a water bath or seated in crushed ice.
- Detachable legs – Attach them to stand the rack on the bench or remove them to push tubes up and out quickly.
- Autoclavable – Polypropylene construction can be steam sterilized between uses.
- Cold-ready – Rated for use down to 0°C (32°F) for ice-bath work.
- Two well formats – Choose 16 square wells or 20 round wells for 1.5/2.0 mL tubes.
