Lab benches and fume hoods are the core equipment of every laboratory, directly related to the safety of laboratory personnel, the accuracy of experimental data and the overall service life of the laboratory. Whether it is a chemical lab bench, physical lab bench, biological lab bench, anti-static lab bench or anti-corrosion lab bench, professional and scientific principles should be followed in model selection. Faced with a dazzling array of manufacturers on the market, how can you select a set of sturdy, durable and cost-effective laboratory furniture? Drawing on over 20 years of industry experience of Jiangsu Rongtuo Laboratory Equipment Co., Ltd., this article sorts out a practical purchasing guide for you.

I. Why Choose a Professional Source Manufacturer

Laboratory furniture is different from ordinary office furniture. It needs to meet a series of professional requirements such as acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, heavy load-bearing capacity and good sealing performance. Founded in Shanghai in 2002, Rontop Labs is one of the early domestic enterprises engaged in laboratory furniture manufacturing. In 2009, it built a 12,500-square-meter standardized production plant in Huangqiao Industrial Park, Taixing, Jiangsu, introduced advanced imported production equipment and automatic assembly line spraying equipment, and owns independent R&D, production and processing bases. More than 20 years of intensive cultivation have made Rontop more mature and reliable in product technology, quality control and customization capability.

II. How to Select Lab Benches

As the main equipment of a laboratory, lab benches can be divided into all-steel lab benches, steel-wood lab benches, PP lab benches and stainless steel lab benches by structure and material:

All-steel lab bench: Both the frame and cabinet are made of steel. It features strong load-bearing capacity, sturdiness, durability and good corrosion resistance, and is the mainstream choice for chemical and comprehensive laboratories.

Steel-wood lab bench: A steel frame paired with wooden cabinets, balancing stability and cost-effectiveness, suitable for general physical and chemical laboratories.

PP lab bench: Made of polypropylene, it is entirely resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, especially suitable for highly corrosive environments.

Stainless steel lab bench: High temperature resistant and resistant to strong acids, mostly used in laboratories with high cleanliness requirements such as food and pharmaceutical laboratories.

In addition, balance tables are used for precise weighing and require excellent shock resistance; high-temperature tables are suitable for high-temperature operating environments. Rontop’s all-steel, steel-wood, PP and stainless steel lab benches support customization of dimensions, layers and countertop materials according to the actual needs of laboratories, balancing stability and load-bearing performance and maximizing storage space.

III. How to Select Fume Hoods

Fume hoods are the most important local exhaust equipment in biochemical laboratories. They are used to discharge harmful gases generated during experiments and protect the safety of operators. Key factors to consider in selection include release function, non-backflow function, isolation function, air supply compensation function, face velocity control function, as well as heat, acid and alkali corrosion resistance.

Rontop provides various types of fume hoods including all-steel fume hoods, bench-top fume hoods, walk-in fume hoods, stainless steel fume hoods and air make-up fume hoods. The air velocity is reasonably configured based on experiment contents and the properties of hazardous substances to ensure efficient air exhaust, quiet operation and low energy consumption. The fume hood series is also customizable to adapt to different room layouts and exhaust systems.

IV. Auxiliary Cabinets and Accessories

A complete laboratory cannot work without various functional cabinets. Rontop’s product line covers medicine cabinets, reagent cabinets, utensil cabinets, locker cabinets, file cabinets, document cabinets, gas cylinder cabinets, fireproof cabinets, explosion-proof cabinets, ventilated medicine cabinets, ventilated reagent cabinets, corrosion-resistant medicine cabinets, corrosion-resistant reagent cabinets, as well as supporting equipment such as reagent racks, storage racks, shelf racks, draining racks, flexible extraction hoods, atomic absorption hoods, eyewash stations, faucets, sinks and emergency showers, enabling one-stop procurement of laboratory equipment.
