With the mode operations undergoing radical changes, quality lab furniture pieces have become the need of the hour. Quite naturally, lab equipment is no longer limited to just workbenches. Additions like fume hoods are widely seen in laboratories across the globe. Many critical lab experiments often include working with highly reactive substances, whether it’s harmful chemicals or pathogenic samples. To prevent air contamination, many working professionals have opted to install chemical fume hoods in their laboratories. By definition, chemical fume hoods play the role of a filter, removing vapors, harmful gases, suspended particles, toxins, as well as other flammable, corrosive substances.[Read More]

Distinguishing Between Horizontal and Vertical Laminar Flow Workstation
The laminar airflow system has made its name by controlling particulate contamination in the industrial and laboratory environment. These systems including laminar flow workstations, work by moving the air at the same speed in a linear direction. The framework of such workstations ensures that the air streams or lamina do not overlap each other. Providing an advantage over turbulent flow where the particles are deposited on the surface randomly. A laminar airflow hood ensures that the contaminants or particles are transferred in a uniform direction towards the filter face, and then to the exit area. The exit area is located along the back or bottom of the hood while the clean (germ-free) area is near the filter face. The working area is in the clean zone, away from the exit area.[Read More]
Furnishing the Workplace with Quality Lab Furniture
A healthy working environment is a key to a highly productive lab and in many ways; it directly influences one’s quality of work. Quality office furniture is no longer a fancy addition to the office, as it has become an integral part of lab work these days. With research methodologies changing rapidly over the years, lab furniture manufacturers offer an impressive array of furniture items to meet the requirements of new modern office spaces. These lab furniture sets are built in such a way that they offer an efficacious solution to their workers, providing teams ergonomic environments, which in turn expedite their procedures.[Read More]
