Laboratory Furniture & Modular Workbench Systems
Chromgate Laboratory Furniture Systems are designed to provide durable, ergonomic, flexible, and application-specific working environments for modern laboratories. Each furniture system can be configured according to the laboratory layout, available space, instrument requirements, utility services, storage needs, hygiene standards, chemical exposure conditions, and specific application requirements.
Chromgate laboratory workbenches are available in a wide range of frame constructions, mounting configurations, materials of construction, worktop options, storage arrangements, and customized dimensions to meet the requirements of pharmaceutical, chemical, petrochemical, food, dairy, research, educational, testing, healthcare, and industrial laboratories.
Laboratory Workbench Configurations
Chromgate laboratory furniture can be designed and manufactured in various configurations, including:
- Wall Benches: Installed along laboratory walls for routine laboratory work, instrumentation, utilities, and storage.
- Island Benches: Centrally positioned, typically double-sided workstations providing convenient working access from both sides.
- Peninsular Benches: Connected to a wall, service spine, or main workstation at one end while providing working access from multiple sides.
- Corner Benches: Designed to efficiently utilize laboratory corner spaces and provide continuity between adjoining workstations.
- Sink Units / Wet Benches: Equipped with integrated laboratory sinks, water taps, drainage connections, and other required utility arrangements.
- Distillation Benches: Designed to accommodate distillation apparatus and associated laboratory utilities and accessories.
- Instrument Benches: Designed for analytical instruments, testing equipment, and other general laboratory instrumentation.
- Gas Chromatography (GC) Benches: Specially configured for installation of Gas Chromatographs and associated gas-handling, electrical, and utility systems.
- Customized Workstations: Designed and manufactured according to specific instruments, processes, laboratory layouts, workflow, and user requirements.
Workbench dimensions, configurations, storage arrangements, and utilities can be customized according to the available laboratory space and intended application.
Worktop Options
Chromgate laboratory workbenches can be supplied with various worktop materials selected according to the required chemical resistance, heat resistance, hygiene, mechanical strength, durability, and application, including:
- Jet Black Granite
- Ceramic / Industrial Ceramic
- Phenolic Resin
- Epoxy Resin
- Stainless Steel
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Chemical-Resistant Laminated Worktops
- Other specialized work surfaces available on request
The appropriate worktop material can be selected based on the nature of laboratory activities, chemicals handled, equipment load, cleaning requirements, and operating environment.
Modular Under-Bench Storage System
Chromgate under-bench cabinets are designed on a modular concept, enabling different storage units to be combined seamlessly to create a functional and organized laboratory workstation.
Various combinations of shutter cabinets, drawer units, drawer-and-shutter combinations, open storage units, mobile cabinets, and other customized storage modules can be integrated according to the user’s requirements.
The modular design provides flexibility for future reconfiguration, replacement, expansion, and modification of laboratory furniture as operational requirements change.
Standard Laboratory Workbench Heights
Laboratory workbench heights can be selected according to the intended working posture, application, and ergonomic requirements.
Standing-Height Workbench: Typically 850–900 mm
Sitting-Height Workbench: Typically 750–800 mm
The final working height can be customized according to the user’s ergonomic requirements, instrument dimensions, seating arrangement, and laboratory application.
Customization & Project Integration
Chromgate Laboratory Furniture can be customized according to laboratory dimensions, equipment layout, workflow, user ergonomics, storage requirements, utility services, chemical exposure, hygiene requirements, worktop selection, and architectural layout.
The laboratory furniture system can be integrated with:
- Electrical sockets and switches
- Data / communication points
- Gas service outlets
- Water taps and utility fittings
- Laboratory sinks and drainage systems
- Reagent shelves
- Service spines
- Electrical and utility raceways
- Under-bench storage cabinets
- Mobile cabinets / drawer units
- Wall-mounted / overhead storage cabinets
- Laboratory pegboards
- Utility panels
- Other laboratory furniture accessories, as required
Design Flexibility
Chromgate Laboratory Furniture Systems can be configured in Pedestal-Mounted, Plinth / Skirting-Mounted, C-Frame, or H-Frame constructions, with suitable materials and finishes selected according to the laboratory environment and application.
This modular approach enables the laboratory furniture to be designed as an integrated system while providing flexibility for future expansion, modification, relocation, or reconfiguration.
Note: Dimensions, workbench heights, frame sections, material thicknesses, load capacities, worktop materials, storage configurations, hardware, utility arrangements, colours, finishes, and other technical parameters may vary according to the final approved design, application requirements, site conditions, and project specifications.
