Frequently asked questions

Are these durable racks fully autoclavable?

Yes, these Globe Scientific Float Microtube Racks are fully autoclavable.

They are constructed from durable polypropylene (PP), a material chosen specifically for its superior strength, high temperature resistance, and suitability for rigorous laboratory sterilization procedures. This makes them ideal for continuous use in demanding environments like cloning, microbiology, and immunology labs.

How many racks are included per pack?

Each pack of Globe Scientific Float Microtube Racks includes four racks, providing a convenient quantity for lab use.

Is the high-quality polypropylene autoclavable?

Yes, these Globe Scientific Float Microtube Racks are constructed from autoclavable polypropylene (PP), making them ideal for sterile laboratory settings.

This robust material provides:

  • Complete Sterilization: Safe for autoclaving to ensure a sterile lab environment.
  • Durability: High strength and excellent resistance to temperature variations.
  • Functionality: The buoyancy feature remains effective, allowing the rack to float securely, even when fully loaded in ice buckets or water baths, both before and after sterilization.
Does the rack remain buoyant when fully loaded?

Yes, these float microtube racks are specifically constructed to be reliably buoyant. They are designed to float securely, even when carrying a full complement of filled tubes. This feature makes them ideal for temperature-controlled applications in waterbaths or ice baths, ensuring excellent sample security.

Are the racks made from high-quality autoclavable PP?

Yes, these Globe Scientific Float Microtube Racks are constructed from robust, autoclavable polypropylene (PP). This material ensures durability and provides essential features for rigorous laboratory workflows.

Key advantages of this PP construction include:

  • Reliable Buoyancy: The rack is engineered to float securely, even when fully loaded with filled tubes, making it perfect for use in water baths or ice applications.
  • Autoclavable: PP offers high temperature resistance, allowing the racks to be repeatedly sterilized via autoclaving to maintain strict laboratory hygiene standards.
  • Strength: The material provides the necessary durability and resistance required for long-term use in demanding environments.
Do these racks float in water baths or ice?

Yes, these Globe Scientific Float Microtube Racks are designed to float reliably in both water baths and ice. They maintain their buoyancy even when fully loaded with filled tubes, making them perfect for precise temperature control of samples.

What rack configurations are available?

These float microtube racks are available in two specific configurations, both manufactured from durable, autoclavable polypropylene (PP). This material ensures they are highly buoyant, temperature resistant, and suitable for stable use on a benchtop or floating securely in waterbaths or ice baths.

Both configurations are supplied in white and are sold in packs of four (4) units:

Configuration Capacity Dimensions (L x W x H) Key Features
Round Rack 8 Places 2.5” diameter x 3” 65mm diameter fits most 400mL laboratory beakers
Square Rack 16 Places 3.75” x 3.75” x 3” Higher capacity for extensive benchtop or bath use
Do the legs provide stable benchtop use?

Yes, the Globe Scientific Float Microtube Racks are designed with integrated legs specifically for stability and convenience. These legs allow the rack to stand securely upright when placed on the benchtop, ensuring easy and stable access to your samples when not being used in a water bath or ice.

What labs commonly use these versatile racks?

These Globe Scientific Float Microtube Racks are commonly used in laboratories focusing on cloning, microbiology, and immunology due to their versatility and design features.

Are the racks buoyant when full?

Yes, these racks are specifically designed to float even when fully loaded with filled microcentrifuge tubes. This makes them ideal for use in ice baths or water baths, preventing loss or contamination.
