Product Overview

The 17-Inch White Lab Tray from UltraTech provides compact, grated spill containment for laboratory benchtop applications. Measuring 17"x12"x4" with a usable surface of 13-1/8" x 8-1/2", this LDPE tray holds up to 1.8 gallons and includes removable black grates that elevate containers above any collected liquids. The UV-inhibitor-enhanced low-density polyethylene construction resists degradation from both chemical exposure and fluorescent lighting, while the white sump color makes it easy to spot leaked liquids and identify the spilled substance by color. At just 5 lbs, the tray is easy to move between workstations, and the removable grates simplify cleaning and decontamination. Ideal for small-footprint containment under reagent bottles, wash stations, or analytical instruments.

Expert Insights

When selecting the 17-Inch White Lab Tray, consider whether its compact 17"x12" footprint fits your benchtop space and containment volume needs. The 1.8-gallon capacity is well-suited for individual reagent bottles, small wash stations, or under analytical instruments where a full 18"x36" tray would be oversized. The included removable black grates keep containers elevated above any pooled liquids, preventing cross-contamination and reducing the risk of container bases wicking chemicals. The white sump color provides a clear visual contrast for leak detection — you can immediately see the color and quantity of any spilled fluid. If you need a larger grated option, the 21-Inch Lab Tray (A1061LTU) offers 2.9 gallons with the same grate system. For non-grated, larger-footprint containment, consider the 18"x36" Eagle lab trays in yellow (A1677YLTE) or black (A1677BLTE).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the usable surface area with the grates installed?

With the removable black grates in place, the usable surface measures 13-1/8" x 8-1/2", suitable for small reagent bottles and lab instruments.

Can I use this tray without the grates?

Yes, the grates are fully removable. Without them you get the full 17"x12" sump for direct liquid containment or easy cleaning.

What chemicals is the LDPE resistant to?

Low-density polyethylene resists most acids, bases, solvents, and common laboratory reagents. Check chemical compatibility for concentrated oxidizers.

How does the white color help in a lab setting?

The white sump provides high contrast for leak detection, making it easy to spot spilled liquids and identify them by color.

What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.

  • We outfitted our entire chemistry department with these lab trays. They fit perfectly on our benches and inside fume hoods. The polyethylene holds up to everything our students throw at it — acids, bases, organic solvents, you name it. The color coding helps us organize containment zones by lab section.

  • Our QC lab handles dozens of small chemical samples daily. These trays give us reliable secondary containment right at the workstation. When a beaker tipped over last month, the tray caught everything. Cleanup took seconds instead of an incident report. Great investment for any lab.

    James C. — QC Lab Supervisor, Pharmaceutical Mfg.

    Verified Buyer
  • Perfect for our research facility. We needed trays that could handle aggressive chemicals without breaking down over time. These have been in daily use for over a year and still look brand new. The carry case is a great addition for keeping our spill containment dikes organized and portable between labs.
