[0001] The application discloses a specimen rack with adjustable aperture size, and relates to the technical field of biomedicine. Background Art

[0002] Specimen racks are often used to collect specimens, generally sampling test tubes. Currently, most common specimen racks on the market have fixed apertures and cannot be adjusted. However, the thickness of sampling test tubes is not uniform. In clinical work, it is often necessary to transport sampling tubes or invert and mix whole blood specimens. If the aperture size of the specimen rack is not suitable for the sampling test tubes, the sampling test tubes are likely to fall off during the transportation process. For some whole blood specimens that need to be inverted and mixed, traditional specimen racks are also prone to falling off during the inversion process.

[0003] Therefore, the prior art lacks a specimen holder with adjustable aperture size. Utility Model Content
