How to choose the right Work Benches For laboratory

A good workbench is a must have for any laboratory, as most of the experiments are conducted at this place only, thus it is really important that you give proper thought before finally purchasing one. In the market, you may find plenty of designs as well as models of these benches that may look fine and lucrative to you but it is not important that everything will fit well in your budget and your lab. You may need to consider a few things while searching for the perfect workbench for your lab to encourage efficient working.

For all such people who are looking forward to buying new Laboratory Work Benches for their laboratory, here are few important things that you must consider before making a final decision.

However, before anything else you may need to understand that these workbenches are not usual benches for people to sit in work laboratories rather these are specialized benches with or without storage spaces and are used as workstations where most of the experiments are conducted. Now that you know how important this piece of furniture is, let's have a look at some important factors that can help you to make a wise decision:

Countertop material: Depending on the workload and kind of work you may take up at the workstation, countertop material should be finalized. You may find a wide range of options but the top and most recommended top materials are

Ø  ESD Laminate that provides a layer to diffuse static electricity.

Ø  Formica Laminate that provides durability to the workbench and makes it impact resistant.

Ø  Stainless Steel Casework, the most recommended material to be used as countertops as it is durable and has aesthetic appeal. This material is also rust as well as corrosion free because of its non-porous quality.

Ø  Phenolic Resin, is lightweight, durable and is resistant to bacteria as well as fungi.

Size of the workbench:  While buying a workbench make sure to check the average height of the users, so as to buy benches compatible with their height for comfortable working.

Mobile or stationary: Before going for a purchase, be clear in your mind whether you want mobile or stationary workbenches. However, if you are not planning to change the design of your lab anytime soon then it is recommended to go for a stationary one.

Customization: As we mentioned earlier as well, you may find a plethora of designs in the market but it is important to get something that you actually need. Thus many people these days are opting for customized lab furniture. Not only customized furniture helps to optimize the workflow but it also helps to get value for money.

There is no other piece of furniture that is used as frequently as a workbench, thus make sure to do proper research before buying the perfect bench for your lab.
