Laboratory Work Benches: DEA's guide to composition

A laboratory workbench must meet specific needs and meet certain requirements, partially different from those of a normal industrial bench. Let's find out which with a rundown on specific DEA solutions.

Laboratory work benches, especially those of an electronic laboratory, differ from industrial workstations in some respects: for example, it must comply with specific sector regulations and must have special functions, such as PC workstations, monitor holders or accessory holder.

Let's take a closer look at how a laboratory work bench should be made, and then discover the DEA proposal for this type of work environment.

Here's what laboratory work benches should look like

Lab furniture (electronic, chemical, etc..) must first of all comply with sector regulations which establish dimensions, minimum requirements for safety (ergonomics, resistance, stability) and test methods (resistance to weights, shocks, mechanical stresses, etc.)

In addition to the requirements established by law, there are also needs for practicality and efficiency. In this sense, the laboratory work benches must be:

made from solid materials, such as stainless steel
height adjustable
chemical resistant
equipped with heavy duty work surface, such as epoxy resin countertops
built according to concepts of modularity, rationality and ergonomic
equipped with accessories, such as electrical devices, accessory holders, material holders, PC station, monitor holders, etc.
