Here are typical specifications and considerations for an HPLC Column Storage Cabinet the dedicated storage used in labs to organize and protect HPLC columns:
Common built-for-purpose cabinets include models such as HPLC Column Storage Cabinet (QCS060GREY) and HPLC Column Storage Cabinet (QCS050Red). Key physical specifications include:
| Feature | Typical Specification |
|---|---|
| Capacity (No. of Columns) | 30, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500 or even up to 1000 columns |
| Dimensions (WxHxD) | Depends on model e.g., ~295380410 mm (50-column) to ~600600400 mm (200-column) |
| Number of Drawers / Trays | 512 drawers/trays depending on capacity |
| Column Length Supported | Holds columns up to ~30 cm long |
| Construction Material | Powder-coated steel, stainless steel (SS) or ABS plastic |
| Locking / Security | Individual or central lock for safety and theft prevention |
| Stackable Design | May include stacking kits to increase storage vertically |
| Labeling & Organization | ID label spaces or foam/compartment inserts for easy indexing |
Steel Cabinets durable, long-lasting, more robust for heavy use
SS (Stainless Steel) rust-proof option for moisture-prone labs
ABS Plastic lighter, easier to clean, often used where humidity is controlled
While storage cabinets primarily organize and protect columns physically, good lab practice includes:
Store columns at room temperature (generally ~1530 C). Avoid extreme heat or fluctuations.
Protect against excessive humidity; ensure columns remain dry. Desiccants can help.
Keep columns capped and ensure no drying of packing material. Light
Avoid direct sunlight or UV exposure which could degrade packing materials.
Adjustable partitions/trays adapt to different column sizes.
Clear drawer fronts easier visibility & quick identification.
Foam inserts protect end fittings and prevent rolling.
