Storage Racks | Storing reagents, chemicals, lab equipment | Material: Steel (Industry, ASTM A36, 800kg/m² load) ▲ Aluminum (Base, ASTM B211, 800kg/m²) ▲▲ Coated Aluminum (Advanced, ASTM D3295, 1200kg/m²) | Lightweight, corrosion-resistant; Advanced version exceeds industry load capacity | Base matches industry load but may cost more than steel; Advanced requires premium materials |
Countertops | Work surfaces for chemical handling | Material: Laminate (Industry, ASTM D471, 500hr chemical resistance) ▲ Stainless Steel (Base, ASTM A240, 1000hr) ▲▲ Epoxy Resin (Advanced, ASTM D429, 2000hr) | Base and Advanced offer superior chemical resistance; Advanced resists extreme chemicals | Base is heavier; Advanced may require specialized maintenance |
Glassware Storage | Storing bottles/containers with chemicals | UV Protection: Clear Glass (Industry, ASTM C1036) ▲ Brown Glass (Base, ASTM C1036 + UV coating) ▲▲ Tempered Brown Glass (Advanced, ASTM C1048) | Base blocks UV; Advanced adds shatter resistance | Clear glass lacks UV protection; Advanced is costlier |
Modular Shelving | Adjustable storage for variable lab tools | Adjustability: Fixed shelves (Industry) ▲ 2" increments (Base) ▲▲ 1" increments + locking pins (Advanced) | Base offers basic flexibility; Advanced ensures precise, secure adjustments | Industry shelves are rigid; Advanced may complicate assembly |
Chemical Resistance | Storing corrosive chemicals | Resistance: 20+ exposures (Industry, ASTM D543) ▲ 30+ (Base) ▲▲ 50+ (Advanced) | Base exceeds industry standards; Advanced handles extreme chemicals | Industry standard may fail with strong acids/bases |
Noise Level | Quiet labs (e.g., with sensitive equipment) | Noise: 50 dBA (Industry) ▲ 45 dBA (Base) ▲▲ 40 dBA (Advanced, "quieter than a whisper") | Base reduces ambient noise; Advanced minimizes disruption | Industry standard may interfere with audio equipment |
