Why Vellex® Systems – Versatile Spaces

Introducing Vellex®

Cleanliness and Flexibility without Compromise

Vellex® is the result of extensive research, rigorous product development, and purpose-led engineering. Drawing on years of industry experience, we have designed, tested and refined every element of the system from drawers and frames to trolleys and benches to create a storage solution that addresses real-world challenges while delivering exceptional performance, flexibility and cleanability.

The result is a modular system that supports compliant workflows, streamlined organisation and long-term adaptability across healthcare, laboratory and educational environments.

What Makes Vellex® Different?

Wherever Vellex® is used, from laboratories to classrooms, clinics to aged care, its strength lies in the details. Every feature has been carefully engineered to create storage that is smarter, safer, and more adaptable.

Smarter Approach to Modular Storage

The Future of Flexible Storage Solutions

The Vellex® System is a fully modular storage and workspace solution designed to adapt to the evolving needs of healthcare, laboratory and education environments.

Built around interchangeable drawers, frames, trolleys and benching components, Vellex® allows teams to configure, organise and optimise their spaces with precision.

Each element has been engineered for durability, easy cleaning and seamless integration helping create more efficient, compliant and adaptable workflows.

Designed Around the End User

Colour Coding & Labelling

Vellex® offers a curated palette of 22 colours designed to complement any environment while improving organisation and efficiency.

Why colour matters

Quickly identify and access supplies
Create clear storage zones
Reduce errors and improve workflow consistency
Support lean and 5S organisational principles

More than just aesthetics, colour-coded storage helps streamline operations, improve accuracy, and create more organised spaces.

Frames

Vellex® Frames feature a globally patented anodised aluminum open profile for complete cleaning access so there are no hidden spaces where dust, dirt and debris can build up. The anodised finish is smooth, extremely hard‑wearing and highly resistant to corrosion, making it easy to wipe down and maintain over time, being chip‑resistant making a superior choice over powder‑coated finishes.

Fully enclosed fittings and connection points help minimise the ingress of water and dust, supporting a cleaner, low‑maintenance solution for laboratories, research facilities, universities, and education environments.

PodSerts® and Dividers

PodSerts® drop‑in bins are typically used for containment, while the divider and partition system is designed to help segregate items within drawers. This Australian‑designed, globally patented concept is truly unique: PodSerts® bins and dividers can be used individually or together within the same drawer, in countless configurations. The result is an exceptionally flexible, high‑density plastic drawer system engineered to maximise organisation and storage capacity.

Castors

To future‑proof laboratories and learning environments, all Vellex® systems can be fitted with premium, laboratory‑grade, non‑marking castors so spaces can be repurposed or reconfigured at a moment’s notice for the next project, class or task. The castors provide smooth, effortless manoeuvrability and lock securely in place whenever stability is required.

Create Your Ideal Configuration

Follow the steps below to configure a Vellex® storage solution tailored to your space, workflow and storage requirements.

Step 1

Begin with a Starter Bay as the foundation of your system, then add and customise additional Bays to create a configuration tailored to your room dimensions, storage needs, and application.

Step 2

Choose between Divider Kits for flexible, adjustable storage or PodSerts® for contained, portable organisation of small items and samples.

Step 3

Choose a layout for each drawer, with 12 Divider Kit configurations or 8 PodSerts® layouts available.

Step 4

Choose a colour for each drawer label from our curated palette of 22 colours, designed to complement any environment.

Step 5

Complete your system with optional castors for smooth mobility and secure locking when stability is needed.

Step 6

Take a final look at your customised configuration, ensure everything is correct, and submit your order online.

Not All Storage Is Created Equal

Labelling can include what you currently use in your facility, such as standard printed stickers and barcodes, standard lettering, or pre‑printed labels from our website.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes laboratory storage different from standard storage systems?

Laboratory storage systems must support regulated environments, including safe handling of chemicals and specimens. This requires materials, configurations, and layouts designed for compliance, traceability, and controlled workflows rather than general-purpose storage.

Are these systems suitable for PC2 and PC3 laboratory environments?

Yes. Versatile Spaces systems are designed to support high-compliance environments, including laboratories operating under PC2 and PC3 requirements. We can align system configurations with specific operational and regulatory needs.

How do modular storage systems improve laboratory efficiency?

Modular systems improve efficiency by organising storage into structured zones, reducing retrieval time, and supporting consistent workflows. This reduces handling errors and improves overall laboratory throughput.

Can storage systems be reconfigured as laboratory needs change?

Yes. Modular systems are designed to be reconfigured without replacing the entire installation. This allows laboratories to adapt layouts, expand capacity, or adjust workflows as requirements evolve.

What types of laboratories are these systems designed for?

These systems are suitable for a wide range of environments, including pathology labs, research facilities, pharmaceutical laboratories, and diagnostic testing environments.

Do modular systems reduce the need for future renovations?

Yes. Modular storage systems reduce reliance on fixed infrastructure. As laboratory needs change, systems can be adjusted rather than removed and rebuilt, reducing long-term costs and disruption.
