Laboratory Casework

Laboratory Casework for Bench Support, Storage, and Service Integration Laboratory casework forms the fixed or coordinated cabinet system beneath, above, and beside the work surface. This category includes base cabinets, wall cabinets, full-height cabinets, and sink base cabinets. Each type serves a different space and access requirement, so the cabinet schedule should be developed from the room elevation, worktop layout, equipment, and utility plan.

Choose the Cabinet Type by Location and Function A laboratory base cabinet provides under-bench support and storage. A laboratory wall cabinet adds accessible storage above the work zone without occupying floor space. A laboratory tall cabinet uses the full room height for larger storage capacity, while a laboratory sink base cabinet reserves accessible space for the basin, traps, supply lines, and maintenance.

Specify the Cabinet as Part of the Complete Run Provide nominal width, depth, height, cabinet position, worktop and plinth interfaces, door and drawer arrangement, shelf layout, hardware, locks, load requirements, material and finish, utility penetrations, ventilation needs, and installation clearances. Confirm whether units are floor-supported, suspended within a bench frame, mobile, or fixed to the building.

General storage casework is not automatically suitable for acids, flammables, controlled substances, or other regulated materials. Use Laboratory Safety Storage Cabinets when the stored contents require a purpose-specific cabinet. Coordinate casework with the selected laboratory countertop, sinks, service fixtures, and room construction before release for manufacture.
