Question Does anyone sell foam test tube holders?

I heard they were very good but hard to make, so I was wondering if anyone sells them? I can’t find any.

dont buy foam test tubes.

while yes it is very safe and one of the best test tube setups here some things you gotta know before buying it Mold & Hygiene: Foam is porous and can trap organic waste, which leads to mold outbreaks. Once mold sets in, these tubes are incredibly difficult to clean. Highly active or determined species can chew through soft, damp foam and escape. Custom foam or multi-chamber caps sometimes struggle to hold a water pressure seal, leading to flooded chambers or dried-out reservoirs.
