Consider the following description a performance specification for laboratory cabinets. Cabinets
should be capable of free standing use, self-supporting units not relying on adjoining units for use.
Construction should be rigid box construction, all new materials with inherit chemical resistance. All edges finished or sealed. Units capable of being
leveled and sealed. Do you need some units locked?
Hardware to be concealed and coated with teflon and capable of adjustment and performance
without noise or side to side movement. Minimum 100# capable load on drawers. All bases
to have removeable back panels for access to pipe chase area typical of a lab application.
Units should meet or exceed SEFA Standard as referenced in AWI. Components to be capable
of reuse, relocation, reconfiguration. Sitting height Units should be capable of being
changed from sitting height to standing or ADA height. Acid or solvent resistant optional
materials can be added to interior as retrofit. T-Mold is not recommended as an edging
material in any wet lab or chemical area. No laminate or wood casework in any lab that is
used in petro chemical or fuel labs. Polyprop while very acid resistant produces very toxic
smoke and fumes and adds fuel. Consider toxic fumes or smoke.
Remember to consider doing some actual testing of materials to be used.

Aisle space - 5 foot and never less than 42 inch.
Start a draft or layout in a corner and work to the next wall.
Plan sink and hood locations so they are not in walkway or areas with traffic.
Island should not be wider than 54 inches.
A safety shower and eyewash should be located every 25 foot.
Never use epoxy sinks if you work with dry ice or similar as it will pop just like an ice cube.
We offer free a consult on one room labs. Fax a draft or email your draft.
