Product Description
One float for PCR tubes, 0.5 mL tubes and microcentrifuge tubes simplifies bath work when a protocol mixes tube sizes. This buoyant foam rack keeps small tubes upright and organized at the water surface, so samples stay stable throughout incubations and other liquid-based steps. It is a handy, low-cost bath accessory.
This listing is for catalog number HS2166: Floating Tube Rack, 0.2, 0.5, 1.5-2.0 mL Tubes, Blue, Pack of 5.
