Proper pipette storage plays an important role in maintaining an organised laboratory environment. Pipettes left lying on laboratory benches can become contaminated, damaged, or difficult to locate during routine work. A dedicated pipette stand helps keep instruments secure, visible, and ready for use. Vertex Analytical supplies several Pipette Stands designed to accommodate different laboratory requirements. The range includes a compact linear stand for up to three pipettes, as well as rotating circular models capable of holding six or nine pipettes. As a result, laboratories can select a configuration that matches their workflow and available bench space. These stands are compatible with most common laboratory micropipettes, making them a practical addition to research, teaching, clinical, and industrial laboratories throughout South Africa.

Multiple Capacity Options

Laboratories can choose a model based on the number of pipettes used within a workstation or department. The range includes three storage configurations:

• MPS-3 Linear Pipette Stand – Holds up to 3 pipettes
• MPS-6 Pipette Carousel – Holds up to 6 pipettes
• MPS-9 Pipette Carousel – Holds up to 9 pipette

Stable Storage Design

Each stand incorporates shaped support grooves that help secure pipettes in position. Consequently, pipettes remain stable during storage and are less likely to shift or fall when accessed. In addition, the circular models feature a weighted base that improves stability on the benchtop. This design helps support multiple pipettes without compromising balance.

Rotating Carousel Access

The six-position and nine-position models function as a rotating pipette carousel, allowing users to access stored pipettes from any direction. Because the carousel rotates through 360°, users can quickly locate and retrieve the required pipette while minimizing bench clutter.

Compact Laboratory Footprint

Despite their storage capacity, these Pipette Stands occupy minimal bench space. As a result, they fit easily into crowded laboratory environments where workspace is often limited.

Applications

These Pipette Stands are suitable for a wide range of laboratory environments, including:

• University teaching laboratories
• Research institutes
• Biotechnology laboratories
• Pharmaceutical laboratories
• Clinical testing facilities
• Food and beverage laboratories
• Industrial quality control laboratories

Performance and Convenience

Efficient laboratory workflows depend on easy access to frequently used equipment. A dedicated pipette stand helps maintain an organized workstation while reducing the risk of misplaced instruments. The rotating carousel models offer additional convenience because users can retrieve pipettes without moving the stand. Meanwhile, the linear model provides a simple and economical storage solution for smaller laboratories or individual workstations. Since these stands require no installation or maintenance, they can be placed into service immediately upon receipt.

Reliability for Daily Laboratory Use

Laboratory equipment experiences frequent handling during routine work. Therefore, stable storage becomes important for protecting valuable pipettes and extending their service life. The grooved holder design helps keep pipettes securely positioned, while the weighted circular base provides additional support during everyday laboratory activities. Consequently, laboratories can maintain a cleaner and more organized working environment.
