Selecting a Lab Rack on Amazon.com

A lab rack is a piece of lab equipment used to hold, drain, dry, store, or protect labware, including beakers, flasks, tubes, cylinders, and vials. Manufactured in a variety of styles, colors, and dimensions, a laboratory rack may be constructed of plastic, wood, wire, metal, or foam. The racks may have wells, pegs, prongs, pins, or slots for holding labware, with rack capacity ranging from a single piece to dozens of items. They can be free standing for placing on a counter or wall mounted to conserve bench space. Larger, heavy-duty floor racks with shelving may also be used for labware storage. Specific types of laboratory racks include bottle racks, drying racks, tube racks, microcentrifuge tube racks, pipette racks, and washing racks. Lab racks are used for holding, draining, drying, or storing labware, and can be found in medical, industrial, and research laboratories, as well as academic and clinical settings.
