[0002] The test tube rack for PCR testing is a tool specially designed for polymerase chain reaction testing. It is usually made of sturdy and durable materials and has multiple neatly arranged test tube placement holes to accommodate the placement needs of different numbers of test tubes. It not only facilitates experimenters to place and manage test tubes in an orderly manner, helping to improve work efficiency, but also ensures the stability and safety of the test tubes during the experiment.

[0003] Most test tube racks have a fixed structure and cannot flexibly adapt to test tubes of different specifications. They can only accommodate test tubes of a specific length and are not well compatible with longer or shorter test tubes, limiting the types of test tubes that can be used in experiments. At the same time, under the influence of external factors, test tubes are prone to shaking, tilting, or even falling on the rack, which may cause samples to spill or be damaged, affecting test results.
