The closed end 112 is used to block the protrusion 22, so that a stacked multi-layer centrifuge tube rack can be formed, making the entire centrifuge tube rack structure more stable and less prone to loosening, and facilitating the storage of more centrifuge tubes. Optionally, the third groove 32 and the fourth groove 41 also have an open end 111 and a closed end 112. The protrusion 22 of the second side plate 5 is slidably disposed in the open end 111 and can abut against the closed end 112. The closed end 112 can stabilize the assembled centrifuge tube rack structure.

[0044] Further, continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The socket includes a first socket part 6 and a second socket part 7. The aperture of the first socket part 6 is larger than the aperture of the second socket part 7, so as to adapt to centrifuge tubes of different diameters, and has a wide range of applications.
