Column Fit & Cabinet Specifications

Check the fit once. Store with confidence. A few measurements help us match your column collection to RECOL’s shaped foam inserts.

Measure the complete column

The current RECOL specification accommodates columns up to 320 mm overall length, including caps and end fittings, and up to 16 mm diameter. Measure the widest part of the complete assembly. Send us details of unusually shaped or oversized fittings for a compatibility check.

Choose the right cabinet

Model Positions Drawers Width × depth × height
RECOL30 30 5 280 × 410 × 325 mm
RECOL60 60 10 280 × 410 × 590 mm
RECOL90 90 15 280 × 410 × 860 mm

Allow space for opening drawers and choose a level, stable position with a suitable load capacity. RECOL30 is designed for benchtop use; RECOL60 can be positioned on a suitable bench or floor, and RECOL90 is the floor-standing model.

Use a location your team recognises

There are six positions per drawer, marked A–F. Record locations such as Drawer 3 / Position B against each column in your existing logbook or inventory system. Return the column to its assigned position after use.

Care for the column as well as the workspace

Follow the column manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning, capping, storage solvent and storage conditions. Keep any original packaging needed for transport or specialist storage. RECOL provides physical organisation; your laboratory’s records and procedures remain essential.

Make room for tools and fittings

The optional RECOLSERT tray replaces a drawer’s foam insert with nine compartments for small tools and fittings.
