Product Details
The test tube rack is constructed from Grade 316 stainless steel, which is known for its high formability, durability, and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for applications in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. This material features a chemical composition that includes 16 percent chromium, 10 percent nickel, and 2 percent molybdenum, enhancing its resistance to extreme temperatures and corrosive chemicals such as blood, salt, and cleaning agents. The rack has a melting range of 2,500°F - 2,550°F (1,371°C - 1,399°C) and is capable of withstanding a maximum use temperature of approximately 800°C (1,472°F). As an austenitic stainless steel alloy, it possesses a tensile strength of 579 MPa (84 KSI) and is further improved by electropolishing, which enhances its sanitary properties. This high-quality test tube rack is designed to hold 72 test tubes and was utilized by the CDC during efforts to combat COVID-19, reflecting its suitability for environments requiring stringent sanitation protocols.
