What do you guys use for red, and also black out covers for test tubes?

Cannot find any specific products for sale.

Thanks.

I like cutting the cardboard tubes that come with aluminum foil in half. I just drape a towel over tubes that are still sealed up. You don’t need anything elaborate.

Many thanks. I’ve seen on some YouTube videos some specific red and black cover. I wondered if they were a thing.

I've always purchased red cellophane from Hallmark. Wrap the tube as many times as you want for desired darkness (* if you subscribe to red light beliefs)
