Pipette Racks or Stands for Organised Liquid Handling Workflows
Pipette racks or stands are used to hold pipettes upright, separated and easily accessible between dispensing tasks. Proper storage helps reduce bench clutter, protects pipettes from accidental damage and helps prevent liquid from entering the pipette shaft after use. This is particularly important in busy laboratories where multiple pipettes, pipette tips and liquid handling accessories are used throughout the day.
- Single Pipette Holders: Select Gilson holders for storing compatible single-channel or multichannel PIPETMAN pipettes.
- Support Racks: Use pipette support racks to hold glass or plastic pipettes upright and organised on the bench.
- Rotary and Carousel Stands: Choose circular or rotating stands where several pipettes need to be accessed quickly from one compact station.
- Replacement Stands: Source replacement stands and holder accessories for supported liquid handling instruments and dispenser systems.
How to Choose Pipette Racks or Stands
Selection should begin with the pipette type, number of instruments, available bench space and whether the pipettes need to be stored upright, angled, wall-mounted or in a rotating carousel. Manufacturer pages commonly highlight benefits such as bench-space savings, easy access, protection from contamination and support for single-channel or multichannel pipettes, all of which align with this category when the product is matched to the pipette model and laboratory workflow.
- Pipette Compatibility: Confirm whether the stand suits single-channel pipettes, multichannel pipettes, manual pipettes, electronic pipettes or dispenser systems.
- Holding Capacity: Match the number of positions to the number of pipettes used at the workstation.
- Bench Layout: Choose linear, rotary, carousel, vertical or wall-mounted formats based on space and access requirements.
- Contamination Control: Use stands that keep pipettes off the bench and help reduce contact with spills, residues or shared work surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are pipette racks or stands used for?
They are used to store pipettes securely between tasks, keep benchtops organised and help protect pipettes from contamination, spills and accidental damage.
Should pipettes be stored upright?
Upright or vertical storage is often preferred because it helps keep pipettes organised and can reduce the risk of residual liquid entering the pipette shaft after use.
How do I choose a pipette stand?
Check the pipette brand, number of pipettes, single-channel or multichannel format, bench space and whether a linear, rotary, carousel or wall-mounted design is preferred.
