Efficiently equipping university and school laboratories

Laboratory chairs on a limited budget

Public institutions, whether in education, healthcare or research, operate a wide range of laboratories with very different requirements. When equipping university and school labs in particular, it is crucial to find cost-effective solutions.    
After all, even institutions with limited resources must equip their laboratories in such a way that optimal conditions for research, exams and learning are guaranteed. A key element here is lab chairs or stools, which show that functionality, ergonomics and cost efficiency can be sensibly combined.    

But what requirements are placed on modern laboratory chairs in the public sector today?

Laboratory hygiene extends to the lab chair

The foundation of high-quality work in any laboratory is absolute cleanliness. Dirt, microorganisms or contamination can distort results or render them unusable. That is why laboratory chairs must actively contribute to maintaining hygiene standards.   
A seamless design prevents residue from accumulating in hard-to-reach areas. At the same time, the materials should be wipeable and resistant to disinfectants and cleaning agents to ensure quick and reliable cleaning.   
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) also plays a key role: An ESD-compliant version is essential in many laboratory environments, as even the smallest charges can disrupt sensitive processes.

Durable laboratory work chairs with a long service life

Beyond budget constraints, intensive use and frequent cleaning pose significant challenges to materials. Additionally, in large laboratories, schools, or universities, workstations and users often change frequently.  
Laboratory chairs must therefore be exceptionally robust. Hard-wearing materials and a durable construction ensure they function reliably even under heavy use. In this context, sustainable laboratory chairs are becoming increasingly important, as they not only conserve resources but also reduce long-term costs.  
Another advantage is their compact design: Space-saving chairs are easy to store and enable efficient use of available space. Last but not least, investment security plays a key role. Models with a 10-year guarantee provide long-term planning reliability and protect the budget.

Comfortable seating for pipetting and microscopy

At temporary workstations, just a few well-designed features are often enough to enable healthy sitting. The key is intuitive adjustability to accommodate different body heights. This ensures comfortable seating for pipetting as well as working at a microscope – two typical requirements in everyday laboratory work. 
The Bimos portfolio offers suitable solutions for this: Alongside specialised models, the LABSIT stands out as a cost-effective and ergonomic option. With its flexible backrest, it combines comfort, freedom of movement, and functionality – idea for laboratories with limited budgets.
