Choosing the right casework is important for any laboratory or technical environment. Laboratory base cabinets and technical base cabinets serve different purposes and have unique features.
Understanding their differences can help you make informed decisions about laboratory storage solutions. This guide will explain a few of their features to aid your selection process.
ADA Compliance Note: Both styles of cabinet can conform to ADA requirements. The cabinet's base height can easily be changed to achieve an overall countertop height in the range of 32" to 34".
Teclab’s Laboratory(Wetlab) style cabinets are 22" deep. When installed under a standard 30" countertop, there is ample room for plumbing and other utilities behind the cabinets. The drawer and door faces of Lab Cabinets are inset into the cabinet to protect the contents from spills. Locks are installed individually on each drawer, allowing them to be be keyed individually.
Teclab’s Technical(TWS) style cabinets are 28" deep. The extra depth allows for massive amounts of storage and increased stability in free-standing installations. TWS Cabinets are often used as a basis for creating a Workbench. Locks are typically installed using an internal lock-bar system, allowing a single lock/key to open all drawers simultaneously.
