Trays, bowls & tubs

PP and HDPE are light, shatterproof and resist many chemicals, which makes them the everyday choice. Stainless steel is heat resistant, can be autoclaved and is easy to disinfect, so it is the usual choice for instrument trays. Melamine or porcelain suit specific uses. Check chemical resistance per substance. Instruments to go in the trays are in scissors, scalpels and dissecting instruments. Need advice for your set-up? Mail sales@luminixhealth.com.

Stainless steel and polypropylene trays can generally be autoclaved. HDPE and polystyrene usually cannot, as they soften or deform at autoclave temperatures. Check the maximum temperature on the product page before you put a tray in the autoclave, and leave lids off or loose so steam can circulate. Polypropylene can warp if loaded while still hot, so let trays cool first. Equipment is in autoclaves and sterilisers. For a quote or a second opinion, write to sales@luminixhealth.com.

A drip tray under an instrument, bottle or running reaction catches leaks and spills, protects the bench surface and makes cleaning up quicker and safer. For drums and larger volumes of hazardous liquids, use a spill tray that meets your storage rules instead. Choose a tray material that resists the liquids involved. A raised rim of a few centimetres holds the contents of a tipped bottle. See spill trays, sumps and drum storage. Questions about a specific product? Contact sales@luminixhealth.com.

For many trays, separate lids are available in the same size. Check both the inner and outer dimensions on the product pages of tray and lid, because a lid that fits one series rarely fits another. Lids keep dust out, limit evaporation and let you stack trays safely on a shelf or in a cold room. Compare sizes in trays, bowls and tubs. Unsure which one fits? Ask sales@luminixhealth.com.

A laboratory tray, bowl or tub is an open vessel for holding, staining, drying or carrying many small items at once. Polypropylene trays resist a knock and many aqueous liquids. Porcelain takes heat. The useful numbers are the bottom size and the depth, because that is the working area.

A dish is an open vessel for drying, evaporating or holding a solid. Porcelain and glazed ceramic take a higher temperature than borosilicate glass, which is why a crucible, not a beaker, goes into a furnace. A watch glass covers, or holds a small amount for drying. A mortar is for grinding. The temperature and the chemical, not the shape alone, choose the material. Laboratory ware of this family is listed under ISO laboratory ware.
