Has anyone found a nice tray to hold waste-wash vials for the 7683 Injector?

We usually prepare solvent wash vials in advance and store them in a little plastic tray with paper dividers.
Just wondered if anyone had found a tray plastic or metal for that use.

Thank you.
No.
I'm not even sure what size vials these are. Roughly 15 mm dia?
However, a general trick is to use some of the polypropylene (?) foam packing, usually about 2" thick, that many instruments are shipped with. (In a pinch, a large cellulose sponge, moistened for punching, can be substituted.) Using a cork borer of appropriate size, cut a hole through or mostly through the foam. Voila', a "test tube rack" for vials.
Find a place that sells shotgun reloading supplies (a gun store) or look on-line for shotgun reloading supplies. Find a trap (plastic) for 0.410 shotgun shells.
