Most racks have fixed holes, so a lab needs a different rack for each tube size. This universal rack adapts instead: the iris in each opening closes around whatever tube is placed in it, from 15 mL up to 50 mL tubes. It suits labs that switch between culture tubes, sample tubes and centrifuge-style tubes during the week, and it saves bench space because one rack covers several sizes.
To load it, turn the knob to open the iris, drop the tube in and release, or simply push a tube straight into the opening. The listed capacity is up to 12 tubes when all are the same size. As a piece of school laboratory equipment it is also handy for teachers who prepare sample sets in different tube sizes for group work.
The Universal Tube Rack comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, which is the original equipment manufacturer. Production takes place at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and racks are sent factory-direct to institutions, laboratories, dealers and importers. Because you deal with the maker, questions about the iris mechanism or repeat orders go straight to the people who produce it. Visit the company profile for background on ScienceLab.
