TrippNT Adjustable Bottle Rack — 28-Compartment White PVC Transport and Storage Tray with 9 Adjustable Dividers and 4 Side Handles
The TrippNT Adjustable Bottle Rack (SKU 50712) is a heavy-duty, deep-format bottle and vessel transport tray engineered for laboratory environments where reagent bottles, culture vessels, sample containers, and similar round-bodied glassware must be securely staged, stored, and transported between bench zones without individual handling. At 18⅞″ W × 2¾″ H × 11¼″ D in 1/2-inch and 1/8-inch white PVC, the 50712 provides a deep rectangular tray with 6 short and 3 long adjustable dividers that reconfigure without tools to fit the specific bottle diameters in use. With all 9 dividers installed at minimum spacing, the tray creates up to 28 square compartments each approximately 2⅜″ across — correct for standard 250mL and 500mL reagent bottle diameter (typically 2⅛″ to 2½″ diameter body). Removing dividers creates wider lanes for 1L bottles, 2L Erlenmeyers, roller bottles, or other larger-format vessels. The four handles cut directly into each of the four side panels (two on the long sides, two on the short sides) allow the fully-loaded rack to be lifted and carried in any orientation — lengthwise, widthwise, or over an aisle — with a secure grip that a smooth-sided tray cannot provide.
The 1/2-inch PVC base and side construction provides substantially more rigidity than standard styrene drawer trays under heavy loaded conditions — a full complement of 28 loaded 250mL bottles represents significant mass, and the thicker wall geometry prevents center-span sag that would allow bottles to tip. Compatible with standard lab refrigerator shelves (bench and undercounter formats) for cold reagent staging, and compatible with standard autoclave racks for heat-tolerant bottle staging programs. Ships fully assembled, 3.47 lb empty. LabDepot documentation confirms the 50712 rack dimensions as compatible with TrippNT-branded carts and refrigerators for standardized reagent staging programs.

Laboratory and Clinical Applications
The TrippNT 50712 is specified for reagent bottle, culture vessel, and sample container transport and staging in: analytical chemistry and reagent prep labs (reagent bottle staging sets for active protocols, transport between prep and working bench), molecular biology and cell culture labs (media bottle staging, serum lot staging, reagent buffer organization), microbiology labs (media bottle transport from autoclave staging to storage), pharmaceutical QC labs (reagent lot staging, reference standard bottle sets), food and beverage QC labs (titration reagent staging, buffer and media organization), clinical laboratory reagent staging areas (clinical chemistry and immunoassay reagent lot organization), laboratory refrigerator shelf staging (temperature-controlled reagent sets in organized racks), BSL-2 research labs (dedicated bottle rack per protocol zone for cross-contamination prevention), and any environment where multiple round-bodied vessels (bottles, Erlenmeyers, volumetric flasks, roller bottles) must be transported as a set between bench zones without individual handling. Also used in laboratory freezer programs for labeled cryotube and cryovial rack staging.

Frequently Asked Questions
What bottle sizes fit with the dividers configured at maximum compartment density?
At maximum divider density (28 compartments, approximately 2⅜″ square per compartment), the 50712 accommodates round-bottomed bottles and vessels with body diameters of 2⅜″ or less. This covers standard laboratory bottle formats including: 100mL and 250mL Duran/SCHOTT GL45 reagent bottles (approximately 2¼″ diameter body), 250mL and 500mL Nalgene/Thermo plastic reagent bottles (approximately 2¼″ to 2½″ body), 50mL conical tubes standing upright (approximately 1″ diameter), and similar small-to-medium format vessels. For 500mL to 1L round glass bottles (typically 2⅜″ to 3½″ body diameter), reduce divider count to create wider lanes — 12 or 16 compartments in the same tray accommodates most 500mL and 1L formats.
Can the 50712 be used in a laboratory refrigerator?
Yes. The 50712 at 18⅞″ W × 11¼″ D fits most laboratory refrigerator shelves (standard interior widths of 20″ to 24″). The 1/2-inch PVC construction is stable at refrigerator temperatures (0°C to 10°C) without cracking or stress-whitening. The rack can be loaded with reagent bottles, slid into the refrigerator shelf position, and removed as a complete set for benchtop staging — the four side handles allow one-handed refrigerator transfer. For deep-freezer (−20°C or below) applications, verify PVC temperature tolerance with TrippNT directly, as standard PVC formulations may experience increased brittleness at extended sub-zero temperatures.
