Bottomless Benchtop Step Shelf with Cord Pass-Through — 18" and 24" Widths, Sold Each
The TrippNT Small Step Shelf raises reagents, pipettes, and small instruments off the bench to reclaim usable work surface. Its bottomless design lets equipment sit directly on the bench while the integrated cord pass-through routes power and data lines cleanly. Ideal for reagent staging, instrument elevation, and crowded sample-prep stations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "bottomless" mean on this step shelf?
The shelf has open undersides at the bench level, so instruments rest directly on your benchtop while the upper tier adds storage above them. This preserves usable surface area you would lose with a solid-bottom riser.
How does the cord pass-through work?
An integrated slot lets you route power cords, USB, and data cables from equipment placed beneath or behind the shelf, keeping connections tidy and reducing clutter across the bench.
Which width should I choose?
The 18-inch model (SKU 50078) suits compact stations and single-instrument elevation. The 24-inch model (SKU 50038) provides wider span for multi-bottle reagent staging or larger equipment footprints.
Is this product sold individually?
Yes. Each SKU is sold as a single shelf, and the listed price is per unit. Order multiple units for outfitting full benches or shared lab rows.
