Test tube holders are used to securely affix different sized test tubes.
Test tube holders can be screwed onto a universal table tray or placed
on Sticky Stuff adhesive matting.
The following test tube holders are available (details and special var-
iants on request):
For long test tubes; Ø 8 to 30 mm
■
For short test tubes; Ø 12 to 18 mm
■
For plastic tubes with ventilation lid; Ø 16 and 30 mm
■
Special holders, e. g. for 600 mL culture vessel
■
If necessary, the inserts with the tubes can be tilted by loosening the
black nuts (1). The tilt can be set freely. Then tighten the nuts again.
The entire inner part with the holders for the tubes can be removed by
loosening the black nuts, whereby the u-shaped holder remains on the
tray.
When inserting the inner parts, ensure that the feet of the holder (part
on the tray) on both sides rest between the rubber ring (3) and the
Teflon washer (2).
Test tube holders can also be used on a tray with Sticky Stuff. To do
this, the pre-installed screw must be removed from the base plate.
NOTICE
The test tube holders adhere extremely strongly to the Sticky Stuff
so that water has to be sprayed underneath the edge of the holder
with a syringe in order to remove them. This is done to prevent
damage to the holder or the tray.
The box for microtitre plates is used for low-vapour cultivation of
microtitre plates and deep-well plates. It protects cultures from drafts
in the incubation chamber and also offers a stable container in which
cultures can be transported.
The box for microtitre plates consists of an aluminium container with a
removable lid into which a replaceable paper filter is integrated. A
microtitre insert with screw-mounted pins is used for mounting micro-
titre plates and deep-well plates.
For shaking, the box for microtitre plates can be screwed onto a uni-
versal table tray or placed on the Sticky Stuff adhesive matting.
