A Buyer’s Guide to Choosing the Best Laboratory Workbench A good workbench provides a safe, sturdy, and efficient workspace. While all worktables provide a surface, some are better suited for particular laboratory and cleanroom tasks than others. A few questions you should be asking yourself before purchasing a workbench: Where will it fit in my lab? How much do I want to spend? What am I going to be doing on it? The questions above […]

Laboratory Ovens Laboratory ovens are standard equipment found in most clinical, forensic, electronics, material processing, and, research laboratories. Laboratory ovens provide uniform temperature and precise temperature control for heating, baking, evaporating, sterilizing and other industrial laboratory functions. Oven temperature ranges from ambient to above 300°C. Types of Laboratory Ovens Standard Digital Ovens – Built for the heating and drying process, offering temperature accuracy control and safety. Heavy Duty Ovens – Typically used in industrial applications […]

Biological Safety Cabinet Protect laboratory workers and the surrounding environment from pathogens with a Biosafety Cabinet (BSC). A HEPA filter helps remove harmful bacteria and viruses from all exhaust air exiting the biosafety cabinet. Biological safety cabinets also serve the purpose to maintain the sterility of material inside the enclosure. 90% of all Biosafety cabinets installed are Type A2. Class II Cabinets provide protection to samples and the environment since harmful contaminants are removed by […]

Horizontal vs Vertical Laminar Flow Hoods Laminar flow hoods are designed to protect samples and parts from particulate contamination. Air flows in a uniform direction with a constant speed within the enclosed bench with little to no crossover air streams. Airborne contamination is filtered through HEPA (filter 99.99% @ 0.3µm) or ULPA (99.999% @0.12µm) filters providing the cleanest work area. Laminar flow hoods are available in horizontal or vertical airflow configurations. A horizontal flow hood […]

Cleanroom Overview and Classifications Cleanrooms are typically used in scientific research and manufacturing to provide a controlled environment for handling sensitive components and samples. Depending on your specific standards, they can allow for varying levels of contaminants, such as airborne microbes, dust, particles, and chemical vapors, that are measured by the number of particles per cubic meter. Often containments are kept at low levels since they can greatly affect the application and component. Cleanrooms are […]
