Abstract (en)

A test tube rack assembly is disclosed which features a flat base (2) and likewise flat upper and lower test tube support members (32,30) of a suitable plastic material. The base has ends (8,10) and sides (12,14) which are bent substantially normal to its bottom and include apertures (26,28) for receiving tabs (44,42) on the upper and lower support members (32,30) whereby said members are snapped into the base so as to be removeably supported thereby. With the disclosed arrangement the base member (2) and upper and lower support members (32,30) may be stored and shipped in the flat state so as to reduce storage space and shipping costs, and the test tube rack assembly may accommodate a variety of test tube quantities and sizes, as is desireable.
