Battlestar Galactica, Cylon Detector Test Tubes and Slides

original movie prop

This is a set of Gaius Baltar's test tubes and slides that were part of his Cylon Detection Project.

The set consists of 29 Test Tubes in a rack, all of which are labeled “Picon Labs” and are seen prominently in the scenes in Season One where Baltar is testing for Cylons (some of the best views in the episode 'Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down' - a screen-cap is shown here for reference). Each test tube has fake blood in it. There is also a glass slide holder, with 44 slides, all of which are labeled “Human Blood Smear Cylon Screen”. 

Plastic test tube rack measures 4″ × 9½″ × 3″. Test Tubes each measure 4″ × ½″ with rubber stoppers and filled with red fluid. 

The slide box is plastic and measures 7″ × 8½″ × 1½″. Each slide measures 1″ × 3″.

According to Propworx this was taken directly from the set of the NBC/Universal production, Battlestar Galactica, by Propworx staff.
