Laboratory furniture and laboratory fume hoods are essential equipment in laboratories. They should not only have excellent functionality and comply with industry standards but also possess an aesthetically pleasing appearance and harmonious colors, as well as being environmentally friendly and energy-efficient, to improve the indoor environment. Laboratory furniture is different from office furniture as it is often in contact with water, electricity, gas, chemicals, and instruments, which imposes higher requirements on the structure and materials of the furniture. When constructing a laboratory, the design and selection of furniture must be tailored to the laboratory's work content, environmental conditions, and specific requirements. 1. Classification of laboratory furniture: 1. By function, it can be 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, material collection tables, stainless steel tables, etc.; (2) Laboratory cabinets include fume hoods, drug cabinets, utensil cabinets, gas cylinder cabinets, acid and alkali storage cabinets, specimen cabinets, sample cabinets, filing cabinets, etc.; 2. By material, it can be divided into steel-wood structure, all-wood structure, and all-steel structure: (1) Steel-wood structure: Composed of a metal frame and wooden cabinet body, it can be equipped with movable and fixed cabinets, offering a high cost-performance ratio, but with a single style, suitable for customers pursuing economic benefits. (2) All-wood structure: All cabinet bodies are made from artificial board (medium-density fiberboard), with rich colors, but it is not moisture-resistant and has slightly poor load-bearing capacity, making it unsuitable for humid laboratories or those requiring high load-bearing capacity; not recommended for use. (3) All-steel structure: Made from 1.0mm thick cold-rolled steel plates through cutting, bending, and welding, all cold-rolled steel plates are treated with pickling and phosphating, then the surface is sprayed with epoxy resin and baked at high temperatures. It has good load-bearing performance and is sturdy and durable. 3. By structure, it can be divided into fixed laboratory tables, hanging laboratory tables, and modular laboratory tables: (1) Fixed laboratory tables: Supported by floor cabinets, the cabinet body can use all-wood or all-steel structures, lacking flexibility. (2) Hanging laboratory tables: The cabinet body rests on a metal frame, and the cabinet body can use all-wood or all-steel structures, offering good moisture resistance and slightly better flexibility. (3) Modular laboratory tables: The cabinet body is equipped with movable wheels, and the cabinet body can use all-wood or all-steel structures, with a metal frame and tabletop forming an integral unit, offering good moisture resistance, ease of movement, and good flexibility.
