Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HEATHROW SCIENTIFIC from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in Heathrow Scientific tube racks?
Heathrow Scientific tube racks are available in polypropylene, wire, and acrylic. Polypropylene racks offer chemical resistance and are autoclavable, making them suitable for repeated use in wet labs. Wire racks provide lightweight, open construction for quick drainage and visibility. Acrylic racks are transparent, allowing easy sample identification. Each material is selected for specific lab environments, and 3G Electric stocks multiple variants to match application needs.
What well capacities are available for Heathrow Scientific tube racks?
Heathrow Scientific tube racks are offered in well capacities of 50, 60, 72, 80, and 96 wells, depending on the model. For example, the HS2345B rack holds 96 wells, while the HS243077B holds 60 wells. These configurations accommodate standard test tubes and microcentrifuge tubes. 3G Electric carries a range of these racks to support different sample throughput requirements.
Are Heathrow Scientific storage bins autoclavable?
Heathrow Scientific storage bins made from polypropylene are autoclavable, but acrylic bins are not. Acrylic bins, such as the HS23403, are clear and impact-resistant but should not be subjected to high heat. For applications requiring sterilization, select polypropylene bins. 3G Electric can advise on material compatibility based on your lab's sterilization protocols.
What is the purpose of the Heathrow Scientific mini-cooler?
The Heathrow Scientific mini-cooler (MPN 120073) is a polycarbonate specimen transport cooler with a 2 mL capacity. It is designed to maintain temperature stability for small samples during short-term transport or storage. Its compact size (5 3/4 in length, 4 1/8 in width, 4 in height) makes it suitable for benchtop use or integration into cold-chain workflows. 3G Electric supplies this cooler for labs requiring reliable sample cooling.
Can Heathrow Scientific tube racks be used with microcentrifuge tubes?
Yes, many Heathrow Scientific tube racks are designed to accommodate microcentrifuge tubes, particularly those with well capacities of 50 to 96 wells. The rack dimensions and well spacing are standardized for common tube sizes. For example, the HS29025B rack (80 wells) and HS27552C rack (72 wells) are compatible with 0.5 mL to 2 mL microcentrifuge tubes. Check the specific product specifications for tube diameter compatibility.
