Lab Benches

Custom Laboratory Benches & Lab Furniture

LANDRO manufactures laboratory benches and lab workstations for research laboratories, universities, pharmaceutical laboratories and industrial testing facilities. Available lab bench configurations include full steel, PP, stainless steel and steel-frame and wood-cabinet constructions with custom sizes and accessories.

LAB BENCH PLANNING GUIDE

How to Choose the Right Lab Bench

A lab bench should support the work being performed, the utilities required and the cleaning standards of the facility. Compare materials, storage, load capacity and workflow before selecting a laboratory bench.

01

Match the Bench to the Application

General research and teaching laboratories often use steel laboratory benches with chemical-resistant worktops. Wet, corrosive or high-hygiene areas may require PP or stainless steel construction.

02

Plan Utilities and Worktop Space

Confirm the positions of sinks, faucets, sockets, gas outlets and service columns before production. Utility access should support safe work without reducing usable bench space.

03

Choose Fixed or Mobile Storage

Fixed cabinets provide stable, high-capacity storage. Mobile cabinets and mobile lab benches make it easier to reconfigure teaching, testing and shared research areas.

MATERIAL SELECTION

Laboratory Bench Materials for Different Work Environments

Full steel lab benches offer durable storage and a clean professional appearance for daily laboratory use. PP laboratory benches suit strongly corrosive environments, while stainless steel benches support frequent cleaning and hygiene-sensitive applications. A steel-frame laboratory bench with wood cabinets can provide a practical balance of structural support, storage and project budget.

PROJECT CHECKLIST

What to Specify Before Ordering Lab Benches

Begin with the room dimensions, door and window positions, user count and the main experimental workflow. Identify whether the project needs perimeter benches, island benches, mobile workstations or a combination. Clear aisle widths and safe access to emergency equipment must be considered before the laboratory bench layout is finalized. For general safety guidance, review the OSHA laboratory safety overview.

Next, list the services required at each workstation. Water, drainage, electricity, data, gas and ventilation connections affect the position of cabinets, service spines and worktop openings. Planning these details early reduces site changes and helps installers coordinate laboratory furniture with mechanical and electrical systems.

Finally, define the worktop material, cabinet construction, storage arrangement and load requirements. Adjustable shelves, drawers, sink cabinets, reagent shelves, pegboards and mobile pedestals can be configured around the user's tasks. LANDRO can manufacture custom lab bench dimensions and accessories for research laboratories, universities, pharmaceutical facilities, healthcare projects and industrial testing spaces.

Lab Bench FAQs

What is the difference between a lab bench and a laboratory workbench?

The terms are often used for the same type of laboratory workstation. A laboratory workbench may emphasize task space, while a lab bench can also include cabinets, utilities, sinks and service accessories.

Which lab bench material is best for corrosive work?

PP construction is commonly selected for strongly corrosive environments. The final choice should also consider the chemicals used, worktop exposure, cleaning procedures and required utilities.

Can laboratory bench sizes and storage layouts be customized?

Yes. Bench length, depth, height, cabinet combinations, worktops, colors and service accessories can be configured to suit the room and workflow.
