TrippNT 1 Pocket Drawer Organizer | Single Open-Compartment Lab Cart Tray 50424

TrippNT 1 Pocket Drawer Organizer — Single-Compartment Open Styrene Tray for Bulk-Item Drawers and Multi-Purpose Staging

The TrippNT 1 Pocket Drawer Organizer (SKU 50424) is the open single-compartment tray in the Pocket Drawer Organizer family — the format for drawer positions where no category separation is needed, but a contained, apron-edged tray is still required to prevent items from sliding to the back of the drawer, falling out during transit, or contaminating other drawers when the cart moves. At 9⅞″ W × 2⅜″ H × 13¾″ D with a single large open rectangular compartment, the 50424 is the correct specification for drawer contents that are single-category, high-volume, or irregularly shaped in a way that compartmentalized trays would interfere with: a bulk roll of labeling tape, a large-format box of cotton gauze pads, a single-type wiper stack, or a set of safety goggles. The apron keeps the contents contained during drawer open/close events and cart transit, while the open geometry allows unrestricted hand access to the full tray area without navigating around divider walls. The 50424 is also the correct format when the drawer contents will change frequently and any fixed compartment geometry would require replacing the tray; the single-open-compartment design adapts to whatever is placed in it without requiring a new tray selection.

Constructed from 1/8-inch white high-impact styrene. Ships fully assembled. Compatible with TrippNT Light Duty Carts (50003). For drawers requiring two, three, or four category separations, the 50159, 50399, and 50180 respectively are the correct companion products in the Pocket Organizer family. All four formats are priced identically and are commonly mixed across a single cart’s drawers.

Technical Specifications

Laboratory and Clinical Applications

The TrippNT 50424 is specified for single-category bulk-item drawer staging across diverse environments: TrippNT Light Duty Cart (50003) drawers with bulk wiper or gauze staging, hospital nursing unit drawers dedicated to a single supply category (all tourniquets, all alcohol prep pads, all gloves loose), dental operatory drawers dedicated to a single large-format supply, veterinary clinic cart drawers holding a single instrument type, phlebotomy cart drawers holding a single-gauge needle box, pharmacy cart drawers dedicated to a single consumable category, laboratory refrigerator shelves holding a single sample or media type, educational lab bench drawers holding a single student-assigned supply category, and any drawer position where: (a) items are too bulky or irregular for compartmentalized trays, (b) category separation is not needed, or (c) drawer contents change frequently and tray re-selection for each change is impractical. Also commonly used as the open-format carrying tray alternative to the standard pocket organizers when items need to be transferred between bench positions in a single hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I choose the open single-compartment 50424 over a multi-pocket format at the same price?

The multi-pocket formats (50159 two-pocket, 50399 three-pocket, 50180 four-pocket) are optimized for category separation — they add value when two or more distinct item types need to coexist in the same drawer without mixing. The 50424 is the correct choice when there is only one item type in the drawer and no separation is needed; adding divider walls to a single-category drawer would reduce the accessible volume without providing any organizational benefit. It is also the correct choice for oversized or irregularly shaped items (a large-format wrap roll, a single-purpose instrument, a safety goggle pair) that would span or crowd multiple columns in a divided tray. If drawer contents change frequently between assignments, the open format avoids the need to re-specify the tray when contents change.

Is the 50424 height different from the other Pocket Organizer trays?

Yes. The 50424 at 2⅜″ H is slightly shorter than the 50159, 50399, and 50180 which are all 2¾″ H. This ⅜″ height difference may be relevant for very tight drawer clearances — the 50424 is the most compact option vertically if the drawer lid closes with limited vertical clearance over the tray. For standard cart drawers with 3–4 inches of usable interior height, either height is functionally equivalent. The 50424’s heavier weight (0.54 lb vs. 0.30 lb for the multi-pocket versions) reflects the single-piece open-tray construction which uses more wall material per the open geometry relative to the divided tray formats.
