Test Tube Stand

The GISCOM Test Tube Stand is a widely used laboratory rack designed to securely hold, organise, and air-dry test tubes during experiments and sample preparation. Manufactured from autoclavable polypropylene, it ensures chemical resistance, stability, and long-term durability. With carefully moulded wells and vertical drying pins, this stand is essential for improving workflow efficiency and safety in analytical, research, and quality-control environments.

Key Features

• Autoclavable, durable, and lightweight polypropylene construction
• Precision-moulded wells to hold 25 mm and 16 mm diameter test tubes
• Includes vertical drying pins for convenient tube drying and storage
• Stable, two-column support structure for enhanced visibility and strength
• Available in two configurations, including a model with all 25 mm-dia. holes
• Smooth, easy-to-clean surface ideal for sterile environments
• Excellent resistance to the most common laboratory chemicals
• Ergonomic design for easy handling on busy laboratory benches

 Material Specifications

• Material: High-grade Polypropylene (PP)
• Thermal Properties: Autoclavable at 121°C. Stable under typical laboratory temperature variations
• Chemical Properties: Resistant to acids, alkalis, alcohols, and many solvents
• Mechanical Properties: Rigid, impact-resistant, and deformation-proof service life, even with frequent sterilisation
• Standards Compliance: Manufactured under ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 certified processes

Technical Specifications

• Design: 6-place rack supported by two strong columns. Top plate with 2 holes for 25 mm test tubes and 2 holes for 16 mm test tubes. Base plate with corresponding hemispherical wells. Six vertical pins for drying test tubes
• Alternative Model: All holes are designed to hold 25 mm diameter tubes
• Tolerance: Consistent well sizing for secure test tube placement
• Accessories: Drying pins integrated into the stand (no assembly required)

Handling & Precautions

• Compatible with standard autoclave cycles (121°C for 15–20 minutes)
• Use mild detergents for cleaning; avoid abrasive tools to protect surface finish
• Do not expose to open flame or temperatures beyond the polymer limit
• Avoid contact with strong oxidisers.
• Ensure tubes are seated properly to prevent tipping
• Store away from direct sunlight for prolonged material life

Applications

• Suitable for clinical, research, academic, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratories
• Ideal for sample handling, tube organisation, drying, and preparation workflows
• Used in microbiology, biochemistry, haematology, environmental testing, and chemical analysis
• Supports routine QC/QA activities in pharma and biotech sectors
• Enhances workflow efficiency in labs requiring frequent test tube access and organisation
