In today’s fast-evolving laboratory landscape, durability isn’t just a preference – it’s a necessity. Whether in research, healthcare, education, or industrial settings, lab environments demand furniture that can withstand rigorous use, support safety protocols, and adapt to changing needs. That’s where adaptable laboratory casework comes into focus.
At BICASA North America , we’ve taken this challenge seriously. For instance, our casework is designed in Italy for sleek aesthetics and engineered in the USA- right here in Charlotte, NC – for unmatched durability and performance. But beyond the surface, it’s the versatility of our range that truly sets it apart.
Why Durability and Safety Matter in the Lab
Laboratories are high-traffic, high-function spaces. Spills, impacts, chemical exposure, and constant movement are part of daily operations. Casework must not only endure these conditions but also maintain its integrity over time.
That’s why BICASA casework is built with:
- High-performance steel construction
- Recycled content for sustainability
- Soft-close functionality and integrated safety features
- SEFA 8 compliance for industry-standard durability and safety
- High weight-loading capacity on drawers for heavy lab equipment
- Interchangeable door and drawer fronts—compatible with phenolic resin, wood, and other materials, easily swapped without special tools
- A special polyurethane-based powder coating, developed for enhanced acid and chemical resistance, ensuring long-term protection in corrosive environments. This advanced finish not only adds durability but also supports labs working with aggressive reagents and solvents, making it ideal for wet labs, chemistry spaces, and high-risk zones.
We also offer specialty cabinets, including polypropylene-lined units specifically designed for the safe storage of acids and corrosive chemicals—providing an extra layer of protection where it matters most.

Exploring the Range: Fixed, Mobile, Suspended, and More
Every lab has unique needs. That’s why we offer a wide range of configurations and custom solutions:
Fixed Casework
Fixed casework remains a staple in lab design, but its role is evolving. Today, it’s most commonly installed along the perimeter of laboratory spaces, especially in wet labs. Although BICASA North America is very mindful that the common approach to sink units is always fixed, however, we do provide a range of mobile sink units – enabling the user to interchange cabinets with ease.
This perimeter-based approach allows the central lab area to remain open and adaptable—ideal for integrating mobile bench systems and reconfigurable workstations.
While white remains the standard finish, BICASA offers a range of color options to suit your lab’s aesthetic or branding.

Mobile Casework
Mobility brings flexibility. Mobile units are perfect for dynamic labs where adaptability is key. BICASA offers a wide range of mobile sink units, acid cabinets, and storage modules – all designed to move easily while maintaining safety and compliance.
Mobile casework allows teams to:
- Reconfigure workspaces quickly
- Accommodate evolving research needs
- Share resources across departments
- Maintain SEFA 8 compliance even in flexible layouts
With interchangeable drawer fronts, high weight-loading capacity, and acid-resistant finishes, mobile units offer the same durability and customization as fixed installations – plus the added benefit of mobility.

Suspended Casework
Suspended units offer a clean, modern aesthetic and make floor maintenance easier. But they’re not just for sterile environments – they’re also ideal for labs with limited space, where maximizing every inch matters.
These cabinets can be suspended from mobile benches or modular frames, allowing for:
- Efficient use of under-bench space
- Easier cleaning and maintenance
- Flexible integration into reconfigurable lab layouts
- A streamlined look that supports modern lab design
Suspended casework is especially useful in compact labs, teaching environments, or multi-use spaces where adaptability and space-saving solutions are key.
Suspended casework also contributes to a more open, spacious feel – ideal for contemporary lab design.

Tall Cabinets & Specialty Storage
In addition to base units, BICASA offers a range of tall cabinets for vertical storage—perfect for maximizing space in compact labs or organizing large equipment and supplies. These units are available in standard configurations or can be custom-designed to meet specific storage, safety, or workflow requirements.
For labs handling hazardous materials, our polypropylene-lined cabinets provide safe, corrosion-resistant storage for acids and aggressive chemicals—ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
