Types of laboratory tables

To ensure a comfortable workplace for a medical specialist, you need to provide him with an office and the necessary equipment. Let's talk about lab tables. What constructions are can be studied in the table.

Comparison table - "Types of laboratory tables"

Name:	Description:	Purpose:
washing	standard table equipped with washer and optional dryer	laboratory
For chemical analysis	rectangular structure with a solid frame and a chemical-resistant countertop, equipped with sockets and switches, a lighting system and a protective screen	for conducting chemical and physical research
For analytical balances	classic version with additional supports in the place where the scales are installed	to work with devices
Student	3-dimensional dimensions meet the state standard	for hospitals
Writing	characterized by the presence of free space under the tabletop for legs, as well as shelves, drawers or compartments with doors on the sides for storing stationery	for medical institutions
Computer	ergonomic shape of the working surface, wall or corner placement	for diagnostic laboratories, doctor's offices

The width of the countertop determines how many sinks can be placed on the work surface. The most common option is 1-3 pcs. The sink with a maximum depth of 30 cm is made of stainless steel so that it can work with non-aggressive and slightly aggressive solutions (except for hydrochloric acid).Separate taps (hot, cold water) and 2-valve or single-lever mixers are installed above it (installation with a thermostat is possible).

On a note! When working with aggressive chemicals, the sink is made of polymers, ceramics or Durkon.

A feature of the model range for chemical analysis is a protective coating (epoxy enamel), which is applied in several layers to metal parts. The table top is made of any material mentioned above. In the role of lighting devices are incandescent lamps, LED lamps and other light sources. Screen material - laminated triplex or solid organic glass.

Note! When manufacturing the hood to order, it is necessary to take into account the diameter of the ventilation hole to which it will be connected.

The framework for analytical balances represents the beams crossed among themselves with horizontal and vertical racks. Due to this, the product has excellent stability when working with precision instruments, scales and shows numerical parameters without errors.

Student tables are produced 2- or 3-seater with a working cloth length of 130 and 190 cm, respectively, and rounded (radius 10-30 mm) or polished corners. If desired, the front edge of the tabletop can be equipped with a rim no more than 6 cm high.

Note! The student's table can come with a rear board on which sockets can be placed.

The working surface of student and computer structures is made on the basis of wood (MDF or chipboard).

Selection Guide

Many users are interested in how to choose the right model and not make a mistake with the purchase. Going to the table, you need to formulate a clear plan for yourself:

• what is the purpose of the product;
• design parameters, taking into account the quadrature of the room in which it will stand;
• location type (design features);
• by price (how much will it cost);
• which firm is better;
• Where is the best and cheapest place to buy?

The popularity of models among laboratory tables, according to buyers, was won by island-type designs (can be placed in any convenient place in the room). When purchasing this model, you need to pay attention to how communications will be connected: water supply, sewerage, exhaust and power supply.

When choosing side furniture, attention should be focused on such points as size, the width should be noticeably less than the length, the rear edge is even (the lid practically does not protrude), the sink is close to the front side.

Structures with add-ons should be equipped with open shelves, closed cabinets, a transparent protective screen, an exhaust hood with a gas outlet and a lighting system.

Each manufacturer makes table supports with threads, which allows them to be adjusted in height if the floor is uneven in the room. With the help of the level, you can control this process.

Chopped and glued wood acts as a worktop material for everyday functions in a clean, dry room. For biological and chemical research, the worktop must be lined with plastic or coated with resistant paint.

On a note! Porcelain stoneware has high strength, resistance to aggressive reagents.It withstands light impacts, does not scratch, does not get chips from accidental drops of tools on its surface. Special polymeric materials allow accidental contact with solid, liquid and gaseous reactants or reaction products.

Based on statistical data, it was revealed that purchases are most often made in the online store. This is due to the fact that ordering goods online is much more convenient and faster, taking into account all the wishes of the client: value for money, the right dimensions, ensuring a high degree of safety during work, it is easy to track the best manufacturers.

On a note! A professional laboratory table can be made according to your own drawings, where the client will accurately indicate the functionality required for him.
