Casework Engineered for Scientific Precision
Laboratories operate at the intersection of precision and practicality. The casework in a research lab, testing facility, or pharmaceutical manufacturing environment must resist aggressive chemicals, support precise workflows, meet safety regulations, and adapt as research programs evolve. At Commercial Cabinets, we manufacture laboratory casework that meets these demanding requirements while providing the durability and quality that protects your investment for decades.
Our laboratory division serves pharmaceutical companies, biotech research firms, university research departments, government testing labs, environmental testing facilities, and quality control laboratories across manufacturing industries. Each laboratory type presents distinct challenges in terms of chemical exposure, contamination control, and regulatory compliance, and our design team addresses each one through informed material selection and thoughtful engineering.
Laboratory Casework Product Range
We produce the full spectrum of laboratory casework required for modern scientific facilities. Our product line includes base cabinets with adjustable shelving, wall-mounted cabinets, tall storage units, fume hood base cabinets, and specialized storage cabinets for flammables, corrosives, and acids in accordance with NFPA and OSHA requirements.
Benchtop work surfaces are available in epoxy resin, phenolic resin, stainless steel, and chemical-resistant laminate, each selected based on the types of chemicals and procedures your lab handles. We also manufacture sink base cabinets with integral cup sinks, reagent shelving, overhead service carriers, and mobile laboratory carts that add flexibility to fixed casework layouts.
Chemical Resistance and Safety
Laboratory casework faces chemical exposure that would destroy conventional cabinetry. Our lab cabinets use materials and finishes specifically engineered to resist the corrosive effects of acids, bases, solvents, and other laboratory chemicals. Every component, from the cabinet body to the hardware to the countertop, is selected to withstand the specific chemical environment of your laboratory.
- Epoxy resin countertops providing maximum chemical and heat resistance
- Phenolic resin cabinets for environments with aggressive chemical exposure
- Polypropylene acid storage cabinets meeting NFPA 30 requirements
- Stainless steel work surfaces for cleanroom and pharmaceutical applications
- Corrosion-resistant hardware including hinges, pulls, and shelf supports
- Integrated safety eyewash and emergency shower provisions
- Ventilated storage cabinets for volatile chemical containment
Standards and Compliance
Laboratory casework must comply with a web of industry standards and regulatory requirements. Our products are designed and manufactured to meet SEFA (Scientific Equipment and Furniture Association) standards for laboratory casework construction, materials, and performance testing. We provide documentation packages that include material certifications, chemical resistance charts, and compliance statements for your facility records.
For pharmaceutical and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) environments, we build casework with smooth, cleanable surfaces and construction details that support validated cleaning procedures. Our cleanroom-compatible casework options include stainless steel construction, sealed joints, and materials that meet particulate cleanliness requirements for classified environments.
Adaptable Laboratory Design
Research programs evolve, and laboratory casework must adapt. We offer both fixed and flexible laboratory casework systems that accommodate changing research needs. Our mobile lab benches roll on locking casters, allowing entire bench configurations to be rearranged. Modular casework systems use standardized components that can be reconfigured, supplemented, or relocated as research programs shift direction. Service connections are designed for quick disconnect and reconnect when casework moves. This flexibility protects your investment by ensuring that your casework continues to serve your facility as science advances.
