Adaptable Pipette Holders

Pipette Holders

This modular holder was made to be able to resist the seismic conditions of Chile and is an easy-to-use holder for pipettes in general. We have designed multiple versions, all of them available here, to adapt the holder to most shelfs and surfaces. If you want to create your own version, freely access our online CAD model, where you can copy and edit the original files.

The holders can be plugged into each other with side connectors, creating modular sets depending on your necessities.

The 3D model was created using Onshape, if you want to know how to use this software, watch our YouTube tutorial.

This lab tool was designed for holding almost all types of pipettes, dividing them into three groups, the types A, B, and C, specified below, to accommodate all brands we had access to. It prints and works great with PLA and PLA+ filaments.
