Tube Floater — Your Microtube’s New Lifeguard
Wave goodbye to sunken tubes! The Tube Floater is your lab’s little lifesaver. A buoyant foam square (10 × 10 cm) built to keep your microtubes high and dry (or, well, floating) when you're working in baths, on the bench, or doing something that involves water. It can cradle up to 10 × 1.5 mL tubes and 10 × 0.6 mL tubes in its friendly foam matrix.
Why It’s the Coolest Accessory in Your Lab
-
No more “oops, it sank!” moments - your precious tubes stay afloat.
-
Organizational assistant — the floater holds multiple tubes neatly, so your growth media, DNA extractions, or enzyme mixes don’t go on a solo dive.
-
Multipurpose magic — labs have repurposed floaters into cable holders, coasters, pen racks, even kids’ play boards!
-
Conversation starter — green foam in water? People will ask.

Tips, Tricks & Fun Uses
-
Preload your tubes, then float them in your bath or water bath — no more fishy tube retrieval.
-
Stack floaters side by side to float conical tubes (yes, some labs hack them for that).
-
Piece them together and use as desk organizers for pens, pipettes, or anything that fits in a hole (microtubes, phone chargers, etc.).
-
Cut & customize- they’re cheap, foam, and forgiving. If you slice them up, you’ve got more small float platforms for mini experiments.
