Various types of Laboratory Furniture

 

When it comes to a laboratory set up, you have to plan many things like what type of furniture or equipment etc you will need for the laboratory.

You need to consider a lot of features before planning your laboratory furniture such as customizations, specific requirements and criteria for regulation.

A long lasting laboratory furniture is a must whether you are making this set up in the new laboratory or renovating the old one. This decision will decide a lot about the future success in the functioning of your laboratory.

There are many types of laboratories and each one of them are useful for various purposes. So it’s very important to understand the needs, risks, precautions etc associated with the lab and only after that the designing of laboratory or laboratory furniture should be started.

Wet Laboratories Vs Dry Laboratories:

Basically there are two types of labs, wet labs and dry labs.

Wet laboratories are those labs where chemicals, Drugs and other similar materials related  research and experiments are conducted. Mainly the experiments done in these labs are associated with liquid solutions. Built-in sinks, stations for eye washing, chemical resistant surfaces, showers etc are extremely necessary parts in the designing of wet laboratories.

Dry Laboratories, on the other hand, are used when the experiments are based on dry chemicals in small volumes. Electronic equipment are the intrinsic parts of these labs, because here it’s necessary to conduct mathematical models or other computer produced tests.

Now let’s discuss about various types of laboratory furniture available and their uses;

Laboratory benches and Work Benches: These are in the form of long tables and experiments are conducted on them. Sometimes these benches are built with the racks for storage purposes.

Lab case works: These are must for every laboratory and they are mainly used for storage purposes. Make sure that the material used in designing them is a strong and durable one like steel.

Lab cabinets: There are various types of cabinets. The purpose of them is to store chemicals, equipment and other stuff.

Lab chairs and stools: These are obviously necessary to sit down and work in the lab properly because standing for a long time can be really tiring.

Emergency showers: These are must in any emergency cases for the safety purposes of the workers in the laboratory.

Lab carts: These are used to move stuff from one workstation to another.

Accessories: Lab sinks, task lights, services panels etc are extremely necessary accessories for a Laboratory.
