Product Overview

The 21-Inch White/Black Lab Tray from UltraTech delivers mid-size, grated spill containment for laboratory workstations. Measuring 21"x17"x4" with a usable surface of 17-1/8" x 13-1/8", this tray holds up to 2.9 gallons and includes removable black grates that keep containers elevated above collected liquids. Constructed from low-density polyethylene with UV inhibitors, the tray resists chemical attack and degradation from laboratory lighting. The white sump provides high-contrast leak detection while the black grates add a professional appearance. Weighing 9 lbs, it offers stable placement on benchtops, fume hoods, and under multi-bottle reagent stations. The removable grates lift out for easy cleaning and decontamination between uses.

Expert Insights

When selecting the 21-Inch Lab Tray, evaluate whether its 2.9-gallon capacity and 21"x17" footprint match your containment needs. This is the larger of UltraTech's two grated lab tray models, providing nearly 60% more containment volume than the 17-Inch model (A1060LTU) and enough surface area to hold multiple reagent bottles side by side. The removable black grates are a key advantage — they keep container bases dry and above any pooled liquid, preventing cross-contamination and reducing cleanup time. The white sump makes leak detection immediate: any colored liquid stands out clearly against the white background. For laboratories requiring a larger, non-grated containment footprint, consider the 18"x36" Eagle lab trays (A1677YLTE in yellow or A1677BLTE in black), which offer 5-gallon capacity in a shallower 2-inch profile. The LDPE construction with UV inhibitors ensures long service life even under constant fluorescent or LED lighting.
