TrippNT Lab Storage Bin 3 Shelves 13 Bins | High-Density 5S Compact Tower 50147

Technical Narrative

The TrippNT 50147 Lab Storage Bin with 3 Shelves is a procurement-grade high-density compact storage tower engineered for laboratories and clinical workstations where a large number of small consumable categories must be organized in a narrow footprint. Three tiered shelf levels carry a total of 13 fixed ¼″ white PVC compartments — each bay sized for tubes, vials, syringes, gauze packs, tip boxes, and similar small consumables — creating a dense storage column from which technicians can grab individual items without disturbing adjacent categories. A continuous top shelf on the third tier adds flexible staging for taller bottles, wiper boxes, or glove boxes that cannot fit in the fixed lower bins.

External dimensions are 12″ W x 11⅜″ H x 7¼″ D with a 2.38 lb finished weight, making it the highest-compartment-count-per-bench-area option in the TrippNT Lab Storage Bin family. The compact 12″ W footprint fits in narrow instrument side stations, fume hood interiors, and tight casework segments where wider multi-bin shelves don’t fit. The non-porous ¼″ white PVC substrate withstands routine wipe-down with quaternary ammonium, 70% IPA, and dilute sodium hypochlorite. Ships fully assembled. Backed by TrippNT’s 100% Lifetime Guarantee.

Technical Specifications

Laboratory and Clinical Applications

The 50147 is deployed across regulated and research environments requiring maximum small-consumable density in a narrow footprint, including academic chemistry and biology benches, biotechnology R&D multi-consumable staging, BSL-2 microbiology suites, USP 797 sterile compounding anteroom supply holding, pharmaceutical QC consumable staging, clinical chemistry and hematology instrument side stations, ED and ICU narrow-bench supply management, ambulatory surgery center (ASC) consumable kitting, histology grossing-station supply zones, veterinary clinic treatment-room staging, food-and-beverage QC pilot lab consumable storage, and forensic chemistry bench consumable kits. The 13-bin density is specifically suited to environments categorizing tube types, syringe gauges, tip box sizes, or gauze pack variants where separate identities per compartment are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 50147 compare to the 50074 vertical 5-bin shelf — both are 12 inches wide, but what is different?

Both are 12″ W narrow-footprint storage columns, but the 50147 (3 shelves, 13 compartments, 11⅜″ H) packs 13 individual fixed bays ideal for categorizing many small consumable SKUs in a compact space. The 50074 (5 fixed bins, 15⅞″ H) has fewer but larger bays with a continuous top shelf, suited to staging mid-size bottles, reagent boxes, and multi-pack consumables that don’t fit in the 50147’s smaller compartment geometry. Specify the 50147 for maximum small-compartment density; specify the 50074 when larger per-bay volume is needed.

Are the 13 compartments all the same size, and what item sizes fit comfortably per bay?

The 13 compartments are arranged in a tiered configuration with some variation in per-bay dimensions across the three shelf tiers. Typical items that fit comfortably per bay include standard 1.5 mL and 2 mL microcentrifuge tubes (bulk stacks), 50 mL conical tubes (individually or 4–6 per bay), 1 mL and 3 mL syringe singles, 2x2 gauze packs, pipette tip box ends, and similarly sized lab consumables.
