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.

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.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 21-Inch compare to the 17-Inch Lab Tray?
The 21-Inch model is larger (21x17x4 in. vs 17x12x4 in.) with 2.9-gallon capacity compared to 1.8 gallons, suitable for multiple bottles or larger instruments.
Are the black grates removable?
Yes, the grates lift out for cleaning, decontamination, or when you need the full sump depth for direct liquid containment.
Can this tray be used in a fume hood?
Yes, the 21x17 inch footprint fits most standard fume hoods and the LDPE material resists fumes and chemical splash.
Why is the sump white instead of colored?
White provides maximum visual contrast for leak detection, allowing you to immediately see and identify any spilled liquid by color.
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.
-
-
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.
