Though every lab is different, you’d be hard-pressed to find a lab that doesn’t rely on high-quality casework to provide ample storage and protection for chemicals, equipment, tools, and more. All labs need casework, but that doesn’t mean a generic solution will work for everyone.
With OnePointe Solutions, you can create custom casework designs made in a variety of configurations and outfitted with the perfect materials to match your lab’s unique needs.
Assess Your Lab’s Needs
Before selecting casework for your lab, you are going to need to spend some time assessing your needs. Every lab is different, and the specifics of your lab casework will depend heavily on the type of work being done in your facility.
Determine what specific qualities you need from your casework by considering what kinds of conditions they will need to be able to hold up against. If your lab conducts testing on infectious diseases, you are going to need anti-microbial casework.
If you work in a wet lab, your casework will need to be impervious to water and moisture.
Select Materials
Once you have determined the qualities you need out of your laboratory casework, it is time to select materials. At OnePointe Solutions, we offer a range of material options, each suited for a variety of purposes and functions.
Here are the casework materials available from OnePointe Solutions:
Metal
Metal casework can often be found in industrial testing facilities, dental labs, ESD labs, and for other applications requiring materials with relatively high endurance and durability. Metal casework features high water and fungal resistance, is moderately resistant to bacterial buildup, and scratching.
This is also often one of the most affordable casework materials, so going for metal will be gentle on your budget.
Stainless Steel
Slightly more expensive than metal, stainless steel casework features high heat, water, and fungal resistance, but may scratch more easily than metal. Known for its easy to clean surface, stainless steel has become a favorite in pharmaceutical labs, food testing, clean rooms, and other applications requiring a high level of sanitation.
Wood
Wood casework can add a touch of warmth and nature to any laboratory setting, and if you are trying to design with aesthetics in mind, wood might just be your top choice. Wood is less resistant to heat, chemicals, bacteria, etc., than many other materials, but it can be an excellent choice in BSL-1 applications like educational laboratories or research facilities.
Plastic Laminate (PLAM)
Plastic laminate casework can be durable and attractive. It is best when used in product testing facilities or educational laboratories.
Laminate is a great low-cost solution for labs that don’t require heavy-duty materials and are looking for a great value.
Phenolic Resin
Phenolic resin casework are extremely durable, super resistant to water and moisture, and hardy against most corrosive chemicals. Phenolic resin also features moderate scratch and stain resistance, making it excellent for water treatment labs, food-testing, and facilities handling large amounts of corrosive or harsh chemicals.
