Test Tube Stand, Polythene (Product Code: SLE/CH/54) is a compact student rack in high-density polythene that holds 2 tubes of 25 mm diameter and 4 tubes of 16 mm diameter, with 6 vertical pegs along the rear edge of the base for drying washed tubes. Its 210 x 82 mm base gives the rack a steady footprint on a crowded bench. It is a natural choice for individual student places in school and college chemistry and biology labs, and is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a school laboratory equipment supplier in India and abroad.

The mixed layout matches the way many school practicals are run: the four smaller places hold the test tubes for a set of reagent tests, while the two larger places take boiling tubes or wider tubes for heating, gas tests or larger volumes. A single rack therefore covers a typical student's needs for a qualitative analysis session, and the drying pegs mean washed tubes can be left upside down on the same rack at the end of the lesson.
High-density polythene does not rust and is easy to wipe clean after spills of dilute acids or salt solutions. Keep hot tubes in a holder or on a heatproof mat until they have cooled, rather than placing them straight into the plastic rack. With one rack per student, benches stay tidier and breakages from rolling tubes are reduced.
Based in Ambala, Haryana, Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and produces practical apparatus for science teaching, supplying schools, colleges and training institutes in India and international markets. See the company profile for more.
What a student place usually needs alongside this rack:
More options are in the Chemistry Lab Equipment category.
How many tubes does it hold?
Six in total: 2 tubes of 25 mm diameter and 4 tubes of 16 mm diameter, plus 6 pegs for drying.
What is the footprint?
The base measures 210 x 82 mm, which gives stability without taking much bench space.
What material is it made from?
High-density polythene, which is light, does not rust and is easy to clean.
Can I put hot tubes straight into it?
Let tubes cool first. The rack is plastic, so a tube straight from a flame can soften or mark it.

Autoclave use is not stated for this rack. If you need to sterilise it, ask us through our contact page before ordering.
How should a school quotation request be worded?
Give the number of racks (often one per student place), any matching tubes or holders, and the delivery address in India or abroad.
