How to Enhance the Life of Laboratory Furniture

Laboratory furniture is a crucial investment for any scientific or research facility. Ensuring its longevity not only protects your investment but also contributes to a safer, more efficient working environment. AAKAR Scientific, a leading manufacturer of high-quality laboratory furniture, emphasizes the importance of proper care and maintenance to enhance the life of your lab setup.

Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

Dust, chemical spills, and general wear-and-tear can affect the performance and appearance of lab furniture. Clean surfaces regularly using mild cleaning agents and non-abrasive cloths. Avoid corrosive cleaners, especially on metal parts and epoxy or phenolic resin surfaces.

Chemical Resistance and Protection

AAKAR Scientific designs furniture using chemical-resistant materials. However, it's still essential to use spill trays and absorbent mats when handling harsh chemicals. Immediate cleaning of spills can prevent staining and deterioration.

Proper Handling and Usage

Avoid dragging equipment across worktops or overloading shelves. Use drawers and cabinets for their intended purpose. Educate your staff on proper usage to reduce the risk of damage.

Environmental Controls

Temperature, humidity, and ventilation can significantly impact furniture durability. Ensure that the lab environment remains within recommended parameters to avoid swelling, warping, or rust.

Preventive Maintenance

Schedule regular inspections to identify early signs of wear & tear. Tighten loose screws, check for rust, and ensure that drawer slides and door hinges are functioning correctly.

By following these best practices and selecting AAKAR Scientific’s premium-grade laboratory furniture, institutions can significantly extend the life of their laboratory infrastructure.
