A comprehensive analysis of laboratory furniture and equipment

Laboratory furniture and equipment are an indispensable part of laboratory construction. Many people often confuse laboratory furniture with laboratory instruments. Today, let’s take a detailed look at what laboratory furniture and equipment include.

1. Laboratory bench
The laboratory bench is the place where operators conduct experiments in the laboratory. According to their structural forms, laboratory benches can be classified into fixed laboratory benches and combined laboratory benches.

2. Laboratory fume hood
In a chemistry laboratory, experimental operations can produce various toxic gases, odors, moisture, as well as flammable, explosive and corrosive substances. To ensure the safety of users and prevent the spread of pollutants in experiments into the laboratory, fume hoods need to be used near the pollution sources.

3. Laboratory supplies cabinet
Laboratory supplies cabinets include medicine cabinets, sample cabinets, dangerous goods storage cabinets, glassware drying and storage cabinets, lockers, gas cylinder cabinets, etc.

4. Clean cabinet
Clean cabinets, also known as super-clean workbenches, are widely used in industries such as biology, medicine, health care, electronics, precision instruments, and meters. It provides a sterile and dust-free clean operating environment.

5. Balance platform
Most of the balances commonly used in laboratories are benchtop. Analytical balances can be placed on a stable and fixed anti-vibration workbench. The balance platform of high-precision mechanical analytical balances has higher requirements for anti-vibration.

Through the reasonable configuration of these laboratory furniture and equipment, the smooth progress of experiments can be ensured, and the safety of laboratory personnel can be guaranteed at the same time.
