Features
- Multiple Options Provide Storage Above, Below, or at Table Level
- Linbin Options for Organization in the Lab Space
- Cable Tray for Sorting and Organizing Cables
Thorlabs offers a large variety of storage solutions for our ScienceDesk™ Workstation. They allow lab supplies, such as general tools, electrical accessories, or fiber accessories to be stored away but close at hand for easy access when needed. Our modular array of storage options can be placed above, below, or at table level depending on preference. Linbins provide organization of small to medium sized tools around the workspace, while a tool caddy can hold larger objects such as a BT17 (BT17/M) Benchtop Organizer. A cable tray is also available for sorting and holding cables in the lab. We also offer CMS021 cable identification ties that are ideal to use with our cable tray below.
Similar to our shelving options and other accessories, all of our storage options can be selectively added when the need arises, allowing for a fully modular and customizable workspace.
Please Note: These accessories are compatible with our current ScienceDesks (SD Series) and cannot be used with our former generation (PS Series) products sold before March 2009.

- Size: 340 mm x 168 mm x 77 mm (13.39" x 6.61" x 3.03") (L x W x H)
- Rubber Mat in Bottom to Protect Tools and Components
- Divider Kit Included
- Accepts BT17 (BT17/M) Benchtop Organizer
This versatile Tool/Parts Caddy is ideal for general storage. It measures 340 mm x 168 mm x 77 mm (13.39" x 6.61" x 3.03") and simply hooks over the rails of the ScienceDesk as shown to the right. The caddy is made from 1.2 mm (0.05") thick steel with a grey powder-coated paint finish and is supplied complete with a rubber base mat for protecting tools and components.
A divider kit is also provided to allow the user to build smaller storage bins. As shown to the right, it is comprised of two plastic pieces that span the length of the caddy and two that span the width. The dividers can be moved and interlocked to build different arrangements. They can also be cut into smaller lengths to build custom bin sizes. The caddy can also house our BT17(/M) benchtop organizer, as seen to the right.

- 6" (152.0 mm) Diameter, 1.2" (31.0 mm) Deep Bowl with Pivoting Plastic Cowl
- Contents Retained Magnetically
- Durable Stainless Steel Construction
- Protective Rubber Cover on Magnet Prevents Marring of Mounting Surface
This Magnetic Storage Tray is ideal for storing small tools, cap screws, and other fasteners securely. The tray can be magnetically held horizontally or vertically to any ferrous surface such as an optical table or breadboard. When attached to a vertical surface, a plastic cowl holds nonmagnetic or loose items as shown to the right. The cowl pivots and clips in place at the upper and lower ends of travel to prevent accidental movement.
A rubber cover on the Ø3.25" (Ø82.5 mm) magnet protects the mounting surface from damage. The magnet serves two purposes; it attaches the tray to the ferrous surface and holds magnetic parts within the tray.

Locking Clamp Positioned Under Our PSY321 Breadboard Mounting Bracket, Holding it in Place and Allowing for Free Rotation of the Bracket
- Retain the Position of Ø1.5" Post Mounted Accessories
- Hinged Clamp Design Allows for Installation Without Removing Existing Shelves
Thorlabs PSY322 Hinged Locking Clamps are the ideal solution for preventing the unwanted movement of accessories along the axis of the post. Locking the clamp in place (5 mm hex key included) directly under a post-mounted accessory, as shown to the right, prevents the accessory from sliding down the post when it is loosened for adjustments. This also allows mounted shelving or brackets to be freely rotated around the axis of the post to a needed position at any time.
