“I will just put the tube down for a moment!” ☝️
“Luckily, it can stand by its own!” 👍
How about a rack? 👀
Racks are often reduced to colourful fillers on dusty shelves in laboratory cabinets (as if they needed it). 🙄
Sometimes they are at least used to store tubes with solutions at the back of our workspaces (also collecting dust over time). 🙄
However, if we use tubes that are designed to stand on their own, racks fall victim to convenience.
“I will just quickly….”
Boom! 💥
The tube, so meticulously designed to stand by its own, fell over. And with it, all the convenience and time savings. The contents splattered visibly (and invisibly, of course) all over the work area and worse. 😳💦💦
➡️ Bottom line ⬅️
Put tubes in the rack when you are working with them 👍😊. No convenience justifies the risk of wasting material or spreading contaminants in the lab. ✔️🌸
