Drying Racks
Drying Rack Systems for Laboratory Glassware and Bench Organisation
Our curated collection of drying racks delivers dependable performance and operational flexibility for technical environments:
- Efficient glassware drying: Support air drying of flasks, cylinders, funnels, tubes and bottles after washing, helping teams reduce bench clutter and keep frequently used items organised between preparation stages.
- Technical feature and real-world use case: In research, education, environmental and QA laboratories, a drying rack helps technicians manage cleaned glassware after rinse cycles, particularly where repeat washing, turnaround speed and work area order all affect productivity.
- Flexible rack configurations: The visible category includes wall-mount, bench-top, single-sided, double-sided and modular stainless steel formats, with products shown from Cole-Parmer and Scienceware to suit different glassware volumes and workspace layouts.
How to Choose the Right Drying Racks
Selecting the correct drying racks for your facility requires evaluating several technical parameters:
- Capacity and peg layout: Review how many pieces of glassware need to be dried at one time and whether the peg spacing suits flasks, bottles, measuring cylinders or mixed laboratory items.
- Mounting style and footprint: Choose between wall-mounted drying racks to free bench space or bench-top units where portability and flexible placement are more important.
- Material and drainage design: Consider chemical resistance, ease of cleaning and whether the rack includes spill trays, drain shelves or modular inserts to help manage water runoff and routine maintenance.
Complete Your Laboratory Wash and Dry Workflow
Versatile equipment is essential for comprehensive facility management. To further optimise your workspace, we recommend exploring these related categories:
- Laboratory Beakers: Pair drying racks with core glassware items to support daily preparation, washing and turnaround across analytical and general laboratory work.
- Laboratory Flasks: Keep drying and storage processes aligned by selecting flasks that match the peg layout and capacity needs of your chosen drying rack setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a drying rack used for in a laboratory?
A drying rack is used to air dry washed laboratory glassware and plasticware while keeping items upright, separated and easy to access for the next stage of the workflow.
Should I choose a wall-mounted or bench-top drying rack?
Wall-mounted drying racks are useful when bench space is limited, while bench-top models are better where the layout changes often or the drying area needs to be moved within the lab.
Can John Morris Group support larger laboratory orders for drying racks and related fixtures?
Yes. We support B2B procurement for laboratories, education facilities and technical departments needing multiple drying racks, related fixtures and supporting glassware across one or more sites.
