Expert Insights

The black version of the 18x36 inch tray is preferred in labs where aesthetic appearance matters or where colored chemicals would visibly stain a yellow or white tray. Same 5-gallon capacity and 2-inch lip height as the yellow model. Popular in pharmaceutical labs, university research facilities, and quality control labs where multiple trays are visible to visitors. Choose yellow for OSHA hazard visibility or black for a cleaner, professional look.

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.

  • 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.
