Comparison table - "Types of laboratory tables"

Name:	Description:	Purpose:
Washing	standard table equipped with sink and optional dryer	for laboratory
For chemical analyzes	rectangular design with a sturdy frame and a chemical-resistant table top, equipped with sockets and switches, lighting system and protective screen	for chemical-physical research
For analytical balances	classic version with additional supports in the place where the scales are installed	for working with devices
Pupil	3-dimensional dimensions meet the national standard	for hospitals
Writing	characterized by the presence of free space under the table top for legs, as well as shelves, drawers or compartments with doors on the sides for storing office supplies	for medical institutions
Computer	ergonomic shape of the work surface, wall or corner placement	for diagnostic laboratories, doctor's offices

How many sinks can be placed on the work surface depends on the width of the countertop. The most common option is 1-3 pcs. The sink with a maximum depth of 30 cm is made of stainless steel so that you can work with non-aggressive and slightly aggressive solutions (with the exception of 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 Durcon.

A feature of the range for chemical analyzes is a protective coating (epoxy enamel), which is applied in several layers to metal parts. The table top is made of any material above indicated in the note.Incandescent lamps, LED lamps and other light sources act as lighting devices. Screen material - laminated triplex or solid organic glass.

Note! When making a custom-made hood, you must take into account the diameter of the ventilation hole to which it will be connected.

The frame for the analytical balance is a cross between beams 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 available for 2 or 3 seaters with a working blade 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 fitted with a side up to 6 cm high.

Note! The student table can come with a tailgate that can accommodate sockets.

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

Selection recommendations

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:

• for what purposes the product is needed;
• design parameters, taking into account the quadrature of the room in which it will stand;
• location type (design features);
• by price (how much it will cost);
• which company is better;
• where it is more profitable and cheaper 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 hood and power grid.

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 superstructures should be equipped with open shelves, closed cabinets, a transparent protective screen, an exhaust hood with a duct for exhausting gases and a lighting system.

Each manufacturer makes threaded table supports, which allows them to be adjusted in height if the floor in the room is uneven. Using the level, you can control this process.

Chopped and glued wood acts as the material of the work surface for everyday functions in a clean dry room. For biological and chemical research, the countertop should be clad with plastic or coated with a permanent paint.

On a note! Porcelain stoneware has high strength, resistance to aggressive reagents. It withstands light impacts, does not scratch, does not receive chips from accidental falling of tools on its surface. Special polymer materials allow accidental contact with solid, liquid and gaseous reagents 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 he needs.

Conclusion

Depending on the length of the table top, the structure can be equipped with a different number of drawers and pedestals.
