FAQs
Every question you might have about furniture and casework - answered!
Laboratory furniture includes a wide range of specialized workstations and storage solutions, such as: · Benches & casework – Fixed or modular workstations for research. · Fume hoods – Ventilated enclosures for handling hazardous substances. · Cabinets & shelving – Storage solutions for chemicals and equipment. · Mobile workstations – Adjustable and movable lab tables/benches · VSM – Vertical Service Modules for greater adaptability in the lab space
Consider the following when selecting casework for your lab: · Material durability – Choose chemical-resistant surfaces. · Storage needs – Ensure ample space for equipment and supplies. · Modularity – Opt for adjustable configurations for flexibility. · Compliance – Verify SEFA, UL, ANSI/ASHRAE, and ISO certifications.
· Fixed furniture is permanently installed and ideal for long-term stability. · Modular furniture is adjustable and movable, allowing labs to reconfigure layouts as needed.
Standard lab benches are typically 30–36 inches high, while cabinets vary based on storage needs and workspace dimensions.
· Epoxy resin – Best for high heat loads, excellent for chemical resistant. · Lab Grade Phenolic resin – Best for chemical resistant, Lightweight and moisture-resistant. · Stainless steel – Ideal for sterile environments. · High-pressure laminate – Cost-effective for general lab use.
Labs can customize furniture by: · Selecting specialized materials for chemical resistance. · Adding adjustable shelving for flexible storage. · Choosing modular designs for adaptability.
Mobile workstations offer: · Flexibility – Easily repositioned to accommodate robotics, larger equipment, different disciplines. · Adaptability – Easy to adapt for different disciplines and as science evolves · Space optimization – Ideal for small or shared labs. · Ergonomic benefits – Adjustable heights for user comfort.
Laboratory furniture must comply with: · SEFA (Scientific Equipment and Furniture Association) standards. · UL (Underwriters Laboratories) safety certifications. · ANSI/ASHRAE ventilation and airflow guidelines. · ISO (International Organization for Standardization) requirements.
Look for manufacturer documentation and request certification details before purchasing.
· Adjustable workstations to accommodate different users. · Proper chair height for comfortable posture. · Adequate lighting to reduce eye strain.
· Use appropriate cleaning solutions for each material. · Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage coatings. · Regularly inspect surfaces for signs of wear or corrosion.
