A test tube stand with 48 holes, autoclavable, and available in blue, green, red, white, and yellow, is a laboratory apparatus used to hold and organize test tubes. These stands are designed to hold multiple test tubes securely, preventing them from tipping or rolling over, which is crucial for experiments and sample storage. The autoclavable feature allows for sterilization, ensuring the stand can be reused in sterile environments. The availability of different colors helps with organization and identification of samples or experiments.
