Description:
Efficiently prepare agar media slants with this test tube slant rack. Rack has 40 tube openings that are numbered and lettered. Not stackable.
- Turning the rack to one side will slant tubes 5º; produces a large surface area useful for aerobic cultures
- Turning to the other side will slant tubes 20º; produces a smaller surface area ideal for anaerobic cultures; reduces drying out of media during storage
- Media-filled tubes are autoclaved with the rack in an upright position
- While media is still hot, tilt the rack to the desired angle and allow media to harden
- Rack can be used for incubating tissue cultures or submersion in a water bath
