Organizing Your Space for Science Lab Storage

Managing Daily Lab Supplies

Keeping small items sorted is a priority. Workstation dispensing bins, drawers, and sturdy storage boxes help organize your bench top. Clear acrylic racks sort microtubes, while Petri dish dispensers hold up to 30 dishes. We also offer portable label stations to keep supplies accessible.

Securing Valuable Equipment

Campus space limits are a common issue, making equipment protection critical. High-density mobile shelving provides quick access to frequently used items. Durable laboratory cabinets house science essentials safely, keeping fragile glassware, electronics, and combustible fuels out of the way. From solid maple units to Mopec's stainless-steel casework, we offer specialized cabinetry for every setting.
