Many people may think home furniture and lab furniture are pieces of furniture. It is the same.
As a professional laboratory furniture manufacturer, we can tell you the five differences.
Function
The home furniture is for living use in a house, apartment, etc.
Material
As you may know, the lab furniture may need to touch the chemical liquid, so it must need a strong resistance to acid and alkali. But for home furniture, you can choose whatever material you want.
Production Process
The lab furniture is more complicated than the home furniture. Although, like the fume hood, it is not only a standard process but needs to consider safety regulations in the lab; it needs to add more devices.
Working Condition
Lab furniture needs to always work with the acid or alkali liquid; it may need to work in a moist environment and sustain the extreme working condition.
Design
Many home pieces of furniture can be picked up in a shop if it looks nice. But lab furniture does not only look nice, but it also needs to consider the layout and what experiment it needs to take in the lab. The engineer needs to consider what kind of countertop should be used in different types of the lab. Home furniture can use only one material, such as wooden, steel, plastic, or leather. But for lab furniture, except the all stainless steel lab table, most of the lab furniture needs to combine with different materials.
