Scilogex lab cabinets and shelves at a glance
What is this collection?
Point-of-use laboratory storage: TrippNT PVC and polyethylene shelves (safety shelves, step shelves, fume hood shelves, suture shelf, MRI storage shelves), storage bins and bin-shelf combinations, a pipette storage bin, HPLC column cabinets in 30, 60, and 105 column capacities, and fire safety cabinets in Type 30 and Type 90 ratings. Prices run from $68 for step shelves to $3,672 for the largest fire safety cabinet.
Who is it for?
Lab managers and bench scientists who need more organized storage without a renovation: research labs, clinical and hospital labs, HPLC and analytical facilities, and imaging suites that need MRI-compatible storage. Also relevant for new lab builds adding storage capacity around existing benches and hoods.
What does it do?
Puts supplies, chemicals, columns, and consumables in organized, labeled, reachable positions at the point of use. Shelves add vertical capacity to benches and fume hoods, cabinets enclose and lock what needs protecting, and fire safety cabinets contain flammables.
What problems does it solve?
HPLC columns loose in drawers and lost between users. Bench and fume hood surfaces buried under bottles. Chemical storage that corrodes the metal shelving it sits on. Consumables scattered across a lab instead of binned where they're used. Flammables stored outside a rated cabinet.
What are your next steps?
Match your storage problem to the product family in the selection guide below, and check dimensions on the product page against the bench, hood, or floor space you're filling.

What this collection covers, and what it doesn't
We do not provide lab casework.
This collection solves the storage problems that show up after the fit-out is done.
Shelves that sit on the bench or in the hood.
Cabinets that organize HPLC columns.
Bins that corral consumables.
Rated cabinets for the flammables.
Everything here is freestanding or surface-mounted, sized for a purchase order rather than a renovation, and the TrippNT products in the collection arrive fully assembled.
Why PVC and polyethylene suit laboratory shelves better than coated steel
Most budget lab shelving is powder-coated steel, and the coating is the weak point. Lab disinfectants, spilled reagents, and ordinary knocks chip and wear it, and the exposed steel corrodes from there.
The TrippNT shelves and cabinets in this collection are PVC, HDPE, or polyethylene throughout. The material properties do the work:
- The material is the same all the way through, so there's no coating to chip, peel, or wear off under repeated disinfection.
- Nothing in the shelf structure rusts, whatever gets spilled on it.
- The smooth, non-porous surfaces wipe down with standard lab disinfectants.
TrippNT builds these in Kansas City, Missouri, and backs them with a 100% total replacement lifetime guarantee. They ship fully assembled, so the time between delivery and use is however long it takes to unbox.
How to choose the right lab cabinets and shelves
If your storage problem is... | Consider... |
Bottles and reagents crowding the bench. | Straight triple safety shelf ($156) or angled triple safety shelf ($178), which tier chemicals upward with containment lips. |
A fume hood floor covered in bottles. | PVC fume hood shelves ($114) or the polyethylene fume hood shelf ($277), adding tiers inside the hood footprint. |
Tiered benchtop storage on a tight budget. | 18-inch step shelves ($68) or 24-inch step shelves ($101). |
Small consumables scattered everywhere. | Lab storage bins ($171), lab storage shelves ($177), or the shelves with 10 bins combination ($259). |
Pipettes without a home. | Pipette storage bin with 5 compartments ($194). |
HPLC columns loose in drawers. | HPLC column cabinets: 30 column ($231), 60 column ($241), or 105 column ($1,194). |
Storage inside an MRI suite. | MRI lab storage shelves ($186), built without ferromagnetic components. |
Suture and procedure supplies that need visible organization. | Suture shelf ($186). |
Flammable liquids outside a rated cabinet. | Fire safety cabinets, Type 30 from $1,815 and Type 90 at $3,672. |
HPLC column cabinets explained
HPLC columns are expensive, fragile, and easy to lose track of in a shared facility. The HPLC cabinets in this collection store columns in dedicated positions behind lockable hinged doors, so each column has an assigned slot and the inventory is visible at a glance.
Three capacities cover the range from a single instrument to a facility:
30 column PVC cabinet ($231)
for a bench or single-instrument setup.
60 column PVC cabinet ($241)
for a working analytical lab. The capacity doubles for ten dollars more, so unless wall space rules it out, the 60 is the practical default.
105 column HDPE cabinet ($1,194)
for core facilities and method development groups managing a large column library.
The lockable doors matter in shared facilities: columns conditioned for a specific method stay where the method's owner left them.
Fire safety cabinets for flammables
The fire safety cabinets in this collection store flammable liquids in rated containment. Three configurations are available: a Type 30 drawer model ($1,815), a Type 30 door model ($2,805), and a Type 90 door model ($3,672). The type designation follows the standard convention for fire safety cabinets, where the number reflects the fire resistance rating in minutes; certification details and capacities are on each product page.
Which rating your lab needs depends on your local fire code, your building's requirements, and your institution's EHS policies, so confirm the requirement with your safety officer before ordering. The Duco slide open windows listed in this category ($3,153 and $4,886) are companion products; see their product pages for specifications.
Where these laboratory cabinets and shelves are used?
Research and academic labs
Safety shelves and step shelves reclaim bench space, storage bins organize consumables at the point of use, and fume hood shelves multiply working hood capacity.
Analytical and HPLC facilities
Column cabinets give every column a labeled, locked position, which is the difference between a column library and a drawer of mysteries.
Clinical and hospital labs
The suture shelf and pipette bin handle clinical supply organization, and everything wipes down to clinical cleaning standards.
MRI and imaging suites
The MRI storage shelves bring organized storage into rooms where ferromagnetic furniture is excluded.
Any lab storing flammables
Rated fire safety cabinets bring flammables storage in line with code and institutional policy.
Lab cabinet and shelf frequently asked questions
Casework is built-in furniture, installed during construction or renovation: base cabinets, wall cabinets, countertops. The cabinets and shelves here are freestanding or surface-mounted units you order, receive, and put to work without contractors. If you're fitting out a new lab from the walls in, you need a casework supplier; if you're solving storage problems in a lab that already exists, you're in the right place.
The TrippNT products ship fully assembled. Unbox them and put them to work.
PVC, HDPE, and polyethylene resist common lab cleaning agents, disinfectants, and incidental reagent contact without surface degradation, which is why these materials are also standard for chemical storage containers. For continuous contact with a specific aggressive chemical, check a compatibility chart for that compound against the material listed on the product page.
TrippNT backs its products with a 100% total replacement guarantee: if a TrippNT shelf or cabinet fails, it gets replaced, with no pro-rating. The guarantee applies to the TrippNT-manufactured products in this collection; the fire safety cabinets and slide open windows carry their own terms, listed on their product pages.
The number is the cabinet's fire resistance rating in minutes under the applicable cabinet standard: a Type 90 cabinet protects its contents three times as long as a Type 30 in a fire. Your fire code and EHS policy determine which rating your storage situation requires, so confirm before buying.
That's what they're for: the triple safety shelves tier bottles upward with containment lips to keep them in place. Check the shelf dimensions on the product page against your container sizes, and follow your institution's chemical segregation rules when arranging what sits where.
The MRI lab storage shelves are built without ferromagnetic components for use in imaging environments. As with any equipment entering an MRI suite, clear it with your MRI safety officer under your facility's screening procedures.
