Laboratory furniture and laboratory fume hoods are essential equipment in laboratories. They should not only have excellent functionality and meet industry standards but also possess an aesthetically pleasing appearance and harmonious colors, as well as being environmentally friendly and energy-efficient to improve indoor environments. Laboratory furniture differs from office furniture, as its use often involves contact with water, electricity, gas, chemicals, and instruments. Therefore, higher requirements are placed on the structure and materials of the furniture. When constructing a laboratory, the design and selection of furniture must be based on the laboratory's work content, environmental conditions, and specific requirements. 1. Classification of laboratory furniture: 1. By function, it is divided into laboratory tables and laboratory cabinets. (1) Laboratory tables include side tables, central tables, instrument tables, ceiling tables, washing tables, high-temperature tables, dissection tables, sampling tables, stainless steel tables, etc.; (2) Laboratory cabinets include fume hoods, medicine cabinets, utensil cabinets, gas cylinder cabinets, acid and alkali storage cabinets, specimen cabinets, sample cabinets, file cabinets, etc.; 2. By material, it is divided into steel-wood structure, full wood structure, and full steel structure. (1) Steel-wood structure: Composed of a metal frame and wooden cabinet body, it can be equipped with mobile and fixed cabinet bodies. It has a high cost-performance ratio but a single style, suitable for customers pursuing economic benefits. (2) Full wood structure: All cabinet bodies are made of man-made board (medium-density fiberboard), offering rich colors but not moisture-resistant and slightly poor in load-bearing capacity. It is not suitable for humid laboratories or those requiring high load-bearing, and its use is not recommended. (3) Full steel structure: Made of 1.0mm thick cold-rolled steel plate through shearing, bending, and welding. All cold-rolled steel plates undergo pickling and phosphating treatment, followed by surface spraying with epoxy resin and high-temperature baking. It has good load-bearing performance and is sturdy and durable. 3. By structure, it is divided into fixed laboratory tables, suspended laboratory tables, and separate laboratory tables. (1) Fixed laboratory table: Supported by a floor cabinet, the cabinet body can be made of full wood structure or full steel structure, with insufficient flexibility. (2) Suspended laboratory table: The cabinet body rests on a metal frame, and the cabinet body can be made of full wood structure or full steel structure, with good moisture resistance and slightly stronger flexibility. (3) Separate laboratory table: The cabinet body is equipped with mobile wheels, and the cabinet body can be made of full wood structure or full steel structure, with the metal frame and tabletop forming a whole. It has good moisture resistance, is easy to move, and offers good flexibility.
