It is important to rinse out the test tube when we are done using it, so we do not get false positives. If we do not rinse out the test tubes some substances may still be inside the test tube and give wrong results.

if you do not wash them chemicals from previous labs could dry in them. the results of your next experiment using these test tubes could be flawed because the old chemicals in the test tubes mixed with new ones.
