Review on 🧪 Karter Scientific 208V2 Detachable Plastic Labware by Tim Larsen

Like the other reviewers here, I needed something to hold the tubes for my freshwater API test kit. I didn't like the plastic holder that the API kit came in, so I decided to look for something better. When I looked at the pictures of this rack I wasn't immediately thrilled as I didn't have to hold 50 tubes but only 6 or 7. After not finding anything better, and knowing that others were happy with the API-specific tube approach, I took the plunge. and ordered it. It arrived last night and was assembled in about 10 seconds after realizing that the 3 tiers only fit in one direction thanks to a small notch to prevent slipping. My mind spun after looking at it for a second and I decided it wasn't good enough as it is. I took it to the garage, pulled out the dremel and reamed all the back two rows up to a large hole and then reamed another six hole gap in the front of each of the top two windows. This then allowed me to add all of my API test solutions so I could store everything, not just tubes. I used a small pipe grinder on my dremel and after about an hour or two I was able to get pretty smooth lines with no sharp edges and it blended perfectly with everything. The end result is a bit muddy than the beginning, but not enough to bother me at all. If you have a Dremel or small multi-tool and want something like the one I've described to hold more than just test tubes, this stand is perfect. I'll post a picture from the side so someone can see what it looks like.
