Pipettes stored horizontally in a drawer accumulate tip-cone contact damage and make retrieving the correct volume range a handling exercise. Globe Scientific's 4-Compartment Pipette Storage Rack holds up to four pipettes per compartment in protected vertical positions, making volume range identification immediate by visual label reading without handling. Two integrated accessory holders on each unit provide dedicated storage for pipette aids, filter sets, or small tools at the rack — keeping the pipette station self-contained without separate accessory drawers.
Available in Blue (1685B), Red (1685R), and White (1685W) at $234.50/EA each. ABS construction provides impact resistance appropriate for a rack holding precision instruments, manufactured in India under Globe Scientific's ISO 9001:2015 quality system.
Features and Benefits
4 Compartments Organized by Volume Range: Dedicated compartments allow pipettes to be organized by volume tier — one compartment per range — so the correct pipette is retrieved without reading labels under working conditions, reducing selection errors in multi-pipette workflows.
2 Accessory Holders Included: Integrated holders at the rack store pipette controller batteries, aids, filter sets, or other station items, eliminating bench clutter around the pipette storage position.
Vertical Storage Protects Tip Cone Calibration: Upright storage in a dedicated rack prevents the lower calibrated zone contact damage that occurs during horizontal drawer storage, preserving instrument calibration integrity between service intervals.
ABS for Impact Resistance: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene provides greater impact resistance than PP — appropriate for a rack holding precision instruments where rack integrity under accidental contact matters.
3 Colors for Zone and Contamination Control: Blue, Red, and White at $234.50/EA — color code pre- and post-amplification pipette zones, user groups, or instrument classes for labs managing cross-contamination risk.

Laboratory Applications
Molecular biology labs with multiple pipette volume ranges requiring organized vertical storage that protects calibration-sensitive tip cones and enables immediate correct-pipette retrieval during active workflows
PCR and amplicon labs separating pre- and post-amplification pipettes by color-coded rack — white rack for pre-amplification, blue or red for post-amplification, making zone separation visually enforced at the bench
Core facilities and teaching labs where multiple users share instruments and organized vertical rack storage reduces handling wear and maintains proper volume-range assignment
Frequently Asked Questions
What pipette brands and sizes fit?
The 4-compartment rack accommodates standard single-channel and multichannel pipettes of the body dimensions common to most major brands. Verify your specific pipette body dimensions against Globe Scientific's product specifications for oversized or extended-body models.
Does this rack include pipettes?
No — this is a storage rack only. Pipettes are purchased separately.
