Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of experimental equipment technology, and in particular relates to a test tube rack with a protective structure. Background Technology

[0002] In laboratories, test tube racks are commonly used experimental equipment, mainly used to store and secure test tubes for various experimental operations. Existing test tube racks typically consist of a support frame and insert plates. The insert plates have an array of test tube insertion holes, into which the test tubes are inserted for fixation.

[0003] However, existing test tube racks have some shortcomings in use. On the one hand, existing test tube racks lack protective measures for the bottom of the test tubes. After the test tubes are inserted into the sockets, the bottoms are in direct contact with the insert plates or support frames. When placing heavy test tubes or conducting experiments with significant vibration, the bottoms of the test tubes are easily damaged by impact. On the other hand, when the test tube rack is impacted, shaken, or placed on uneven surfaces, the lack of restraint structures at the bottom of the test tubes makes them prone to tilting, falling over, or even detaching from the sockets, causing reagents to spill. This can not only affect experimental results but also pose safety hazards to experimental personnel and equipment. Utility Model Content
