Laboratory Shelving & Racks

Laboratory Shelving and Racks for Accessible Storage and Glassware Drying Laboratory shelving keeps frequently used items within reach, while drying racks and cabinets manage washed glassware after cleaning. These functions require different structures. The category includes bench-mounted reagent shelving, pegboard-style draining racks, and an enclosed heated-air glassware drying cabinet.

Select the Product by Storage or Drying Method A laboratory reagent rack adds open shelving above a bench and should be planned around container height, shelf load, access, and service clearance. A glassware drying rack uses pegs and drainage to support passive drying near a wash area. The laboratory glassware drying cabinet provides an enclosed drying method for projects that require controlled heated-air operation and greater storage capacity.

Define the Installation and Contents Provide the item inventory, glassware sizes, quantity, shelf or peg spacing, required load, drainage route, drying method, temperature requirement where applicable, material preference, cleaning method, available wall or bench space, power supply, and aisle clearance. Confirm mounting points and the strength of the supporting wall, bench frame, or casework before installation.

Open shelving is not automatically suitable for hazardous chemical storage, and a drying product is not a chemical storage cabinet. Use Laboratory Safety Storage Cabinets for hazard-specific storage and Laboratory Storage Cabinets for enclosed general laboratory storage. Final selection should reflect the items, room workflow, and facility requirements.
