It can be, but you can get plastic ones that you can't heat (or they'd melt!)
a hard glass test tube is a test tube made out of glass that is almost impossible to break.
Test tube
It is a glass tube and it is used to contain substances being tested!
A test tube holder, also known as a test tube clamp or test tube rack, is used to hold a test tube securely in place during experiments and handling. It provides a firm grip to prevent the test tube from slipping or breaking.
A test tube, also known as a culture tube or sample tube, is a common piece of laboratory glassware consisting of a finger-like length of glass or clearplastic tubing, open at the top, usually with a rounded U-shaped bottom. A large test tube designed specifically for boiling liquids is called a boiling tube.
As the temperature in the test tube increases, the air inside the test tube expands, leading to a decrease in pressure. This decrease in pressure causes the water plug in the glass tubing to move upward as it seeks to equalize the pressure inside and outside the test tube.
A test tube is usually made from plastic or glass and is shaped like a long tube. If used for a physics or chemistry experiment, one would use the glass test tube. If used for cultures, one would use the plastic tube and discard after use.
Yes, blood can clot in a glass test tube because the tube provides a surface for the blood cells and proteins to adhere to and form a clot. Clotting can be prevented by using anticoagulants in the tube or by carefully handling the sample to avoid triggering the clotting process.

To avoid dangerous tension in the glass.
The sound of the glass test tube exploding can be described with onomatopoeia as "crash" or "boom", since these words imitate the noise of a sudden and loud impact or shattering.
A test tube rack is used to stand glass test tubes upright in. Glass test tubes have round bottoms, so need a rack to keep them upright. Otherwise, they would fall over and spill their contents.
