How laboratory chairs add international character


International character | laboratory chairs

Set for the future



A laboratory is an ideas workshop. Nowhere else you can find so many trends and innovations, so many ideas brought to life than here - and this is happening all over the world. Unlike any other place, the modern laboratory represents the workplace of the future: It is highly developed and perfectly positioned in the context of internationalisation. The laboratory furnishing should also be showcased in a similar fashion. It should be pioneered from a technical point of view, have an outstanding design and be multinationally comprehensible.



Internationalisation means understanding each other

The future of work is determined by internationalisation. There are no national boundaries, especially when it comes to research. This requires employees in the laboratory to have a special mutual understanding. But the workplace should be also not a place that feels "foreign" to employees - no matter where they come from. An optimally equipped laboratory work area must be self-explanatory and easy to operate in. It should allow flexible and precise work to be carried out and be adapted to the individual physical needs of the employee. This is the only way to create a place for ideas, trends and innovations - one which speaks all languages and thus satisfies the basic requirements of internationalisation.



High-quality laboratory chairs are in demand - worldwide

Whether it is in Africa, Norway, China or Newfoundland - there are laboratories all over the world. Objects are analysed and tested everywhere - but under nowhere near the same conditions. To give an example, the analytical lab of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical and Chemical Sciences at the Kwame Nkrumah University (KNUST) in Ghana and the Institute for Medical Diagnostics in Berlin are not only far apart from each other from a geographical perspective, they are also confronted with completely different realities. At KNUST the focus of the lab work is on checking drugs and medicines. For example, the work involves, among other things, the proper storage of antibiotics. The Ghanaian employees play a key role in terms of drug safety and thus save lives. This necessitates optimal equipment - despite a tight budget. The laboratory work in Berlin also saves lives. Here the employees conduct investigations from the fields of laboratory medicine, microbiology, molecular biology and transfusion medicine, thus making a decisive contribution to medical diagnosis and health research - but this on a budget that is not available in Ghana. The realities in the laboratories around the world are certainly very different, but there is much that connects them. In particular, this is the daily routine which makes the work in a laboratory so extraordinary: hygiene, safety, flexibility and precision. This special world of work requires furnishings to suit it. For laboratory chairs this means a high level of sitting comfort and flexible adjustment options for precise work, as well as strict requirements for ease of cleaning. So in the context of internationalisation, good furniture is a genuine investment in the future; and it should be possible for laboratory chairs with optimal application suitability to be affordable and put into use worldwide.
