Three types of equipment to consider in the design of your lab
WORKSTATIONS
To create a workspace that works for you, Rousseau offers customizable workstations with a wide choice of accessories. Everything can be rearranged as your requirements evolve.
Good workstation design is essential in creating a healthy, comfortable, and task-efficient laboratory. Workstations should follow the workflow and be planned to accommodate equipment, ancillary equipment, tools, and supplies. Consideration must also be given to the number of people who will use the space and their physical characteristics. You will also need to consider whether they will sit, stand, or use a combination of positions, and if they need some type of aid to be able to see and reach all of the necessary components. Air quality, temperature, and humidity must be regulated and drafts must be avoided. Lighting must be task appropriate, not necessarily standard overhead lighting, and noise must be minimal.
Ideally, laboratory workstations are versatile, modular, and flexible so that they can be altered to accommodate new tasks, equipment or people. The work surface should be height adjustable, and seating should be individualized and task appropriate.
STATIONARY DRAWER CABINETS
Valuable or sensitive equipment can be safely stored in a secure cabinet, with a variety of configurations and accessories to choose from.
Science laboratory cabinets are indispensable to the scientific community. The study of science requires the demonstration of the theories by conducting practical experiments. Hence there is a flourishing market for laboratory furnishings.
Cabinets are designed to cater to specific requirements of a scientific lab. The cabinets can be both mobile and stationary. A number of criteria, such as the type of work being done, safety, durability, budget and long-term plans determine the choice of the right type of lab cabinetry. Modular cabinets are usually designed in an adjustable way such that these can easily accommodate the changes in procedures, instrumentation, and personnel. Technicians can easily reconfigure mobile units themselves without the help from for maintenance personnel.
The cabinets must be designed in a way that these can boost the productivity of the work being done in the lab while also keeping the professionals safe and free from excessive exposure to any chemicals.
WORKBENCHES
You will love the quality and durability of our standard workbenches. Different sizes and surfaces are available to meet your specific requirements.
A Laboratory workbench is a piece of essential equipment in the laboratory. Most causes of accidents and injuries such as ergonomic injuries are due to the type of laboratory workbench being used.
Choosing the right workbench is considered a simple task, but ideally, this might not be true. Most people overlook some of the essential factors when selecting their workstations. It’s important to look at some variables to have the best and efficient workstation for your employees and minimize injuries.
The following are essential aspects to factor in when choosing the right laboratory workbench design to avoid injuries.
Exploring Storage Options
When working in emergencies, you are most likely to have laboratory accidents. Overcrowding of the laboratory workbench with laboratory equipment may lead to accidents as they can easily break and cause spills on the table. It’s important to consider a workbench that has enough storage spaces to store the chemicals and other equipment in the lab. Storage provides space and more freedom for you to work with ease.
Availability of Laboratory Space
Employees need efficient and comfortable workspace. Therefore, to maximize the area, you can have a well-designed workbench that fit in the workspace available. The benches can be made to fit in small or more significant spaces.
The shapes can be in different forms such as L shaped corner stations among others. The workbenches must meet safety guidelines that conform to the organization.
Safe Management of Electric Cables
In the workstations, an employee is exposed to electricity. The unsafe laying of these cables presents a high risk in the laboratory. A laboratory workbench should adequately cover the electrical system.
The significant number of wires in a laboratory may make it look unorganized and unsafe working environment. Lab tech workbenches are designed to protect your wires and customized to your specifications. The cables are securely kept and easily accessible when you want them.
The Laboratory Science Work Table Surface
There are different work table surfaces in a laboratory depending on the need. The material on surfaces ensures that it can endure the compounds used in the laboratory. The coatings can include phenolic, epoxy resin, high-density polyethylene, high-pressure laminate, and stainless steel.
Additionally, the workspaces are specially made to ensure that they are durable. The work surface also prevents accidents that may occur due to chemicals exposed to the work station.
