Laboratory Cabinets

Selection of cabinets and counters must be based on intended use.
No material is good in all lab applications.

We have many types of laboratory furniture, equipment and accessories for you to select from.

As a wholesale distributor of fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, medical casework, lab tables, stainless steel hoods, counters with sinks, so we can help you select the right material, the appropriate grades, understand which features and benefits are important to you.

In stainless steel, standard grade is 304; and lab grade is the 316 type. 316 grade is used for marine applications or when chemicals are going to be used.
Strong acids attack even 316 stainless, the next option is epoxy resin or polypropylene.

When contaimination is a concern, stainless steel is currently the material of choice.
If contamination is a concern but not a critical concern, chemical resistant laminates can be used.

Lab Cabinets:

  1. Chemical and Corrosion Resistant:

    Lab Grade Plastic Laminates

    Modern Laminated Lab Furniture System Bench

    Our laminated research islands have a concealed access trough for communications and network cables. These modern laminated bench units pictured above provide a wide clear span between upright supports.
    Within the supports below the shelf is electical wiremold power strips.
    Plugmold on our unit is convenient and provides improved access. A lab bench system that is on the floor so there is little vibration issues.
    Relocation of these base units under the work surface is important and can be easy and effortless if some are on concealed casters with locks.

    Best Practices, Associations, Trade Organizations, Compliance & Code will be added here. First look to Governmental Hygienists - Best Recommended Practices, then FDA, USDA and other agencies applicable to your lab, then for lab furniture trade groups. Scientific Equipment & Furniture Association is an agreed upon by manufacturers membership pool of information: Webpage at /www.sefalabfurn.com/
    It cost a considerable amount of money to be a member. Memberships can advanages in only members are advertised on the site and influence the recommendations; but this is still a good general site of information upon which most agree, or at least support the general installation practices and minimum requirements. There are other documents, but by requiring the following "compliance with recommended SEFA practices and their installation methods" it will provides you with some teeth if you should need to apply pressure to achieve compliance or correct problems of installation. However, the fact that it is identified as a laboratory project puts some of this upon the bidder whether or not the bidder or supplier understands the implications of bidding on a laboratory project. I would also ask, why not taking a project as a design-build and acts as the contracting firm, contract with others if your firm does not have the capability to be the manager, but this will provide more control of quality and end result. We have been involved with several very successful owner (partnering) projects. It helps to have everything in writing and use a simple partnering agreement and determine change order issues and markup and labor cost. A budget and then a time and material job (T/M) can be good for you and the trades doing the actual work. Check references, check records on State website before doing business with any construction company to be sure they are bonded and in good standing with the State.

    Product Technical Consulting - development, and problem resolution with quality issues, using technologies to improve, combine or create new composition.

    Owner Advocate Services - includes identification of not in compliance issues, not to industry standards and functional issues, some quality standard issues, performance limitations, options to resolve of in place or substandard issues. Also, cost saving and shifting of error back upon the parties which were in control of outcome or problems.

    Remember who we are is what we do. We do labs and experience does count in everything.
