By Katelyn Buckner


It is important that pharmacies stay both clean and organized. To do this, these facilities make use of pharmaceutical trays. Such devices are available for purchase, even at wholesale, through numerous manufacturers. Vial, deep-storage and gel cap drying at the most commonly used in these settings.

The biotech industry gets use out of these structures as well. They serve as a more economical and functional option for containing things than traditional metal units. The most important things to consider with these devices is their capability of holding heavy weights and remaining stable. That is, no corroding, breaking, denting or bending. This is especially important when buying in large quantities because such devices are used frequently. These products must be made from materials that are considered safe to use in pharmacies.

Gel cap units are mean for curing and drying soft capsules and gels. Most have sides and ends that are dropped, which allows air to flow freely through and completely dry the caps. The surface is smooth to prevent sticking or marking and simplify the cleaning process. The round corners, along with the formed edges, keep residue and moisture from collecting. Most will stack on each other for storing purposes.

The deep storage kinds are mostly used to store and handle capsules before they have been shipped of. These are also stackable, which is beneficial when it comes to efficient store and protection of the tray contents. The surface is smooth and resistant to elements such as harsh alkaline solutions and mild acids. Strength and durability of material are crucial to the function of these units.

Vial models, as their name suggests, have the sole purpose of vial storage. These structures have a surface that is smooth and are shaped with a tapered front. This allows for ease in the loading and unloading process. The capacity to stack units, without concern of warping, is essential. Some of these models can withstand temperatures between negative 60 degrees Fahrenheit and up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. There are special models made specifically for use in 300 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

The pricing of the trays will range depending on the manufacturer and other factors. Quantity, material and size of the orders will also impact the overall cost. Generally, these trays are not available for purchase at retail stores because there is not a demand for them among general consumers. Still, there are retailers around the world with such supplies in stock.

Most purchases of these products are done in bulk. There are temporary versions available that are made for short-term usage only. Permanent styles are more common and should be durable and strong. These must be functional and long lasting.
