What are the key features of laboratory design?
Good laboratory design offers users several key features that help promote efficiency, productivity, safety, and health for everyone.
Lab design teams start by determining how researchers will use the lab, including what materials and processes they will use, as well as how many people will be working in the lab and what their roles will be. The design team will work to ensure that everyone has the workspace, storage, equipment, and materials they need to do their work as efficiently and productively as possible.
A well-designed lab layout also helps ensure that provides users with a workspace that is safe and healthy. Furniture and equipment, for example, should not impede traffic flow or ventilation. Workflows are arranged so each step can be done in sequence without forcing researchers to travel back and forth. Ventilation systems provide a controlled environment with optimal temperatures, as well as contain fumes and capture contaminants in the air. Every workspace should be comfortable for users so they can focus on their research and not worry about their health and safety.
What is laboratory furniture?
Laboratory furniture may look like ordinary office or business furniture, but it has been designed and engineered to meet the specific needs and regulatory requirements of scientific, research, or medical labs.
Different types of labs have different requirements, so it is important to choose the furniture and equipment that meet your needs. For example, chemical labs require workbenches, desktops, and workstations that can withstand exposure to corrosive or toxic chemicals. Furniture best suited for chemical labs may be designed to help prevent spills or contain them for easy cleanup.
Laboratory furniture is available in a variety of materials—including wood, plastic laminates, phenolic resin, and stainless steel—and configurations. Lab furniture may feature integrated electrical outlets for safety and convenience, as well as built-in fume hoods and filter systems for additional safety.
