50ml tube holder - (Jun/11/2014 )

Anyone here that knows a company in Europe that sells these 50ml tube holders?

I only seem to find USA based companies and the shipment price is often more than the price of the product (although, pretty expensive sometimes, 25-40 us dollar for 5 of them).

 In Germany it would be e.g. Carl Roth:

search for "Single stand for 50 ml centrifuge tubes"

To my suprise I found a chinese company selling them pretty cheap at alibaba!

I wonder if its a real company, it seems legit.

I have found that a lot of brands of aluminium foil have roll holders inside the box on each end that are fairly similar to these, and work pretty well - for free. 

Thats an option too, but its carton and knowing some people in the lab, it will get wet, broken fast..

The ones I have are plastic inserts inside the box.

Novolab sells these: http://www.novolab.be/mono-rack-blauw-in-ps-voor-50-ml-buizen-5-st.html

Yes, I also saw those, but its from heathrow ,uk, they are (in my opinion) rather expensive.

We have quite a thick aluminium foil (defnitelly much more thicker than kitchen-grade foil) and when I need stands like this I simply make them from the foil ;)

Its a waste of foil. Especially if they already waste so much stuff and think everything grows for free on trees.

We had those tube holders (enough), but they just disappear.
