Essential Acrylic In-Line Test Tube Rack with Drying Pins – 6/8/10/12 Holes
Product Overview
The acrylic in-line test tube rack with drying pins—also referred to as the PMMA test tube rack, transparent test tube holder, clear acrylic tube stand, or test tube drying rack—is an essential laboratory accessory designed for secure test tube storage and efficient drying. Crafted from high-quality PMMA (acrylic) , this rack offers excellent clarity, chemical resistance, and durability.
Each rack features a straight in-line design with precisely drilled 22mm holes that accommodate standard test tubes up to 22mm in diameter. The open side construction allows for clear viewing and easy access to all tubes. Equipped with matching drying pins (pegs) for each tube position, the rack enables inverted drying of test tubes after washing—a practical feature that saves benchtop space and promotes efficient lab workflow.
Available in four capacities—6, 8, 10, and 12 holes—this rack series accommodates different laboratory needs, from compact student workstations to high-throughput research benches. The transparent acrylic construction provides a clean, modern aesthetic while allowing quick visual inspection of tube contents.
Whether you need a compact 6-hole rack for a student lab or a larger 12-hole rack for a busy research facility, EduSupports has the right solution for your application.

Why Choose Our Acrylic Test Tube Rack with Drying Pins?
The acrylic test tube rack with drying pins offers several distinct advantages over wooden or metal alternatives for test tube organization and drying.
First, its high-quality PMMA construction provides exceptional clarity and durability. Unlike wooden racks that may warp or metal racks that may corrode, acrylic remains stable and transparent, allowing quick visual inspection of tube contents and rack condition.
Second, the integrated drying pins for each tube position allow inverted drying of test tubes after washing. This vertical drying method is significantly more efficient than laying tubes flat, as it allows water to drain completely and reduces contamination risks.
Third, the straight in-line design with open sides provides excellent visibility and easy access to all tubes. Unlike circular racks where tubes can obstruct each other, the linear arrangement allows you to quickly locate specific tubes.
Fourth, the precise 22mm holes ensure a secure fit for standard test tubes. The holes are drilled to tight tolerances, preventing tubes from tipping or wobbling during use.
Fifth, the durable acrylic construction is resistant to common laboratory chemicals, ensuring long service life even in demanding environments. The smooth surface resists staining and is easy to clean.

How to Use – Best Practices
Setup Instructions
Place the rack – Position on a stable, level laboratory bench
Insert tubes – Place test tubes vertically into the 22mm holes
For drying – Invert washed test tubes over the drying pins (pegs) for efficient drainage
For storage – Place tubes upright in the holes for easy access
Organize samples – Use different rack positions or multiple racks for different tube types
Drying Tips
After washing, shake excess water from test tubes
Invert tubes over the drying pins at a slight angle for faster draining
Allow tubes to air dry completely before storage
The transparent acrylic allows easy monitoring of drying progress
