Product Overview
The Polylab Test Tube Basket with Snap-On Cover is a high-performance storage solution designed to meet the day-to-day operational demands of modern laboratories. From handling delicate glass test tubes to managing sterilization routines, this basket supports safe, hygienic, and efficient operations in scientific research, industrial labs, and academic institutions.
Structured for Safety & Efficiency
Crafted using high-quality virgin polypropylene, the basket is designed with a grid-like mesh that holds test tubes in an upright, separated position. This minimizes contact and prevents damage during washing, autoclaving, or handling. The included snap-fit cover shields the contents from dust, accidental spills, and environmental exposure—ideal for preserving sterility and preventing contamination.
Autoclavable & Heat-Tolerant
Built to withstand high-temperature sterilization, the basket maintains its shape and strength even after repeated autoclave cycles up to 121°C. The open-grid design promotes uniform steam penetration and rapid drying, making it a go-to choice for labs needing reliable and reusable sterilization support.
Chemical Resistance You Can Rely On
Unlike metal baskets that corrode, this polypropylene model is inert to acids, alkalis, alcohols, and laboratory-grade solvents. Whether you’re cleaning with aggressive reagents or storing chemical residues, the basket resists wear, discoloration, and deformation. Its low-maintenance nature adds significant value for labs that prioritize long-term durability.
Stackable & Space-Efficient
Designed for vertical stacking, these baskets save valuable bench or shelf space in compact laboratory setups. The secure-fit lids ensure that even when stacked, test tubes remain undisturbed and protected. This feature also simplifies sample categorization and batch segregation, helping streamline workflow.
Portability & Ergonomic Handling
Despite its lightweight build, the basket offers robust support for transporting loaded test tubes between Safty lab stations or autoclaves. The firm side walls and smooth edges make it comfortable to carry without risk of tipping, even during delicate procedures like sample incubation or reagent dispensing.
Quick Clean & Reuse Ready
Polylab’s use of non-porous, smooth-surfaced plastic ensures the basket does not retain residues or odors. It can be easily rinsed or wiped clean, supporting multiple cycles of usage without the need for harsh scrubbing. This saves both time and resources, especially in high-throughput labs or educational institutions.
