This guide compares top SpectraMax microplate readers (M2, M2e, Plus 384, Gemini XS, V Max) to help labs choose based on detection modes (absorbance/flurescence), sensitivity, throughput, and budget. Learn which model suits ELISAs, kinetics, or high-throughput screening for optimized workflows.

Lab cabinets are critical for secure storage of chemicals, equipment, and samples while ensuring safety and compliance. This guide explores types (flammable, corrosive, metal cabinets), material choices (polypropylene, stainless steel), and key considerations like OSHA compliance, durability, and budget. Learn whether to invest in new or used cabinets to optimize lab organization and safety.

Choosing the right lab hood is critical for safety and contamination control. This guide compares laminar flow hoods (for sample protection) and fume hoods (for user safety from hazardous fumes). Explore key differences, compliance standards (OSHA, ANSI), and factors like airflow, size, and budget to optimize lab performance and safety.

Lab casework is critical for a safe, organized lab. Explore types (fixed, modular, mobile), materials (metal, phenolic resin, plastic laminate), and key considerations like durability, compliance, and budget. Learn whether to buy new or used and how to optimize installation and maintenance for long-term efficiency.

Setting up an efficient laboratory starts with selecting the right furniture, a critical decision that impacts safety, workflow, and compliance. This guide explores essential lab furniture types, including durable lab casework, chemical-resistant workbenches, and safety-focused fume hoods, while comparing the benefits of new versus used options. Learn how to prioritize durability, safety standards, and cost-effectiveness when choosing storage solutions like metal cabinets or ergonomic seating. Dive into safety considerations for laminar flow hoods versus fume hoods, tailored to your lab’s specific needs, and discover how modular casework adapts to evolving research demands. Whether upgrading or building from scratch, this resource equips you to make informed decisions that enhance productivity, safety, and compliance in your lab.
