LabBench laboratory instrument benches with safety innovations

LabBench is constantly making improvements to its instrument benches, with a recent focus on user safety and equipment longevity.

The company’s polished stainless steel structure and laminated panels make for easy COVID sanitising. Benches are totally sanitised and immediately wrapped before dispatch. They are also pallet loaded for minimal handling with clear markings on sanitising dates. All panels and parts are interchangeable and replaceable, allowing for easy modification to suit new instruments or for miscellaneous replacement.

LabBench’s internal power cord containment and internal power distribution board mean that multiple instrument power cords remain internal to the bench; only the distribution board is plugged externally. Internal power distribution boards are fitted with residual current devices with overcurrent protection. These devices are ‘two pole’, keeping tabs on positive and neutral issues well before the instrument.

Adjustable, temperature-controlled cooling fans for vacuum pumps, with optional temperature warnings and smartphone application, take care of overheating within the integrated noise suppression chamber. Phone charging can also be incorporated into the bench.
