Handling & Precautions

  • Do not subject cold tubes directly to high heat; allow gradual temperature change.
  • Avoid sudden quenching after heating to prevent glass stress.
  • Clean with mild detergents and dedicated test tube brushes for best results.
  • Autoclave safely at recommended temperatures (121°C, 15 psi).
  • Do not use with highly abrasive materials to avoid scratching the inner surface.
  • Store in racks or protective containers to minimise breakage.
  • Ensure proper drying before heating to prevent cracking.
