Tables are an important part of laboratory equipment because they form a work area. Many different surfaces are available for lab tables and how the area will be used determines which material is suitable. Several manufacturers offer a variety of surfaces including Trespa solid surfaces, chemical-resistant plastic laminates, stainless steel or galvanized steel, and epoxy resins. This latest material is a traditional surface used in many universities and commercial laboratories. Epoxy resins are chemically resistant solid surface tables. This is the ideal choice for laboratories that have stringent requirements regarding chemical resistance and decontamination. Long-term heat resistance of up to 284 degrees and short-term resistance of up to 356 degrees makes this surface suitable for laboratories that often use high temperatures in testing and other procedures. This surface is also very machinable, allowing manufacturers to work like hardwood to combine sinks, fixtures and drip grooves. The surface of the epoxy resin is smooth and non-porous. It does not support fungus or bacterial growth and microorganisms cannot penetrate the core, making it hygienic. Epoxy resins are also very resistant to most dyes and microscopic and histological stains. Minimal joints facilitate cleaning and reduce the nissui idonesia risk of contamination. The panel is suitable for radio labeled compounds and if contamination occurs, it is easy to handle. Botanical research laboratories often feature work tables with epoxy resin tops because of their moisture-resistant surface quality. This moisture resistant feature also makes the surface suitable for the area around an ordinary sink or cup. There is no problem of moisture seeping into the table and affecting surface integrity. This material is designed to last for years, even when subjected to the harsh treatment that is typical of many laboratory environments. Style does not need to be sacrificed when choosing this material for the table. White, gray, green, yellow, blue, red and black are several color choices. Surface thickness options include ½, 5/8, ¾, and one inch, with length and width adjusted to customer needs. 180 degree rolled edges are available for the front of the table and other edge options include crooked nose and self-crawling. The leading manufacturers operating online provide customers with visual examples of edge options and color choices. This prevents misunderstanding about what was ordered. After reviewing epoxy resin surface options, customers can enter their preferences and measurements in an online form. Additional features that may be available include support sheets that are compatible with clean rooms, epoxy resin sinks, and installation prices. After they send a request, the customer receives a personalized offer. While they shop for lab tables and table surfaces, laboratory customers should also consider compatible seats. It is often easier to order a chair or bench from the same manufacturer because this ensures the seat will have the appropriate dimensions. Having everything shipped at the same time allows the laboratory to become a functional work area in a shorter time and can save on shipping costs.
