FURNITURE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
We prefer to collaborate with all the relevant parties, including end-users, architects, contractors, and project management teams, to develop a fully functional laboratory facility dedicated to your application or field of study. A crucial aspect of our laboratory furniture design philosophy is recommending incorporating equipment to ensure your new laboratory provides a working environment meeting all necessary workflow and safety standards.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR AN INTEGRATED LABORATORY DESIGN:
Air Protection Cabinets: Incorporating the correct type of air protection solutions (ducted or ductless) into the design is essential. These can include fume cupboards, laminar flow, or biological safety cabinets that meet the most stringent local and international standards (NRCS approved, TUV EN123469 and NSF/ANSI49). Our service engineers are factory-trained, NSF-accredited, and have highly specialised equipment to validate cabinets to these standards.
Chemical Safety Storage Cabinets: Using quality fire-retardant cabinets directly within the workspace (compliant with the EN14470-1 and SANS54470-1 standards) drastically reduces the transportation of hazardous materials and ensures your facility meets all fire and other occupational health and safety legislation.
Vacuum Local Area Networks:VACUU-LAN® vacuum networks allow the supply of several applications with just one centralised pump. Solutions are designed for versatility and chemical resistance and include built-in check valves to protect against contamination or interference from adjacent applications.
Antivibration Tables: Ensuring that the design includes stable surfaces required for specific laboratory balances reduces interference during sensitive measurements. This is especially important when using balances that read down to 10-6g.
Safety Equipment: The provision of safety equipment such as safety showers and eye-wash stations forms an integral part of any laboratory design.
DON’T BE CONFINED TO THE LIMITS OF A BRICKS-AND-MORTAR BUILDING…
Lasec®, in collaboration with Topshell, brings customised, fit-for-purpose solutions to meet your unique requirements.
Whether you require a state-of-the-art cancer research laboratory in a remote location, a mobile water-testing station or maybe a vaccination centre in a previously unserved area, discuss your needs with us, and we'll work with you on a solution.
For example, Lasec® can supply a fully fitted laboratory in a 6m or 12m customised shipping container with thermal insulation, air-conditioning, windows, and doors.
Not big enough? Combine containers seamlessly to create a free-flowing, larger area.
The possibilities are endless. . . inclusive of laboratory furniture to accommodate essential lab elements such as biological safety cabinets, laminar flows or fume hoods, as well as water purification systems to achieve Type II laboratory grade water or even ultrapure water, labs can be created to be fully functional for applications such as PCR testing, food and beverage quality control, water testing or even microbiology.
Think “outside the box” and allow us to problem-solve with you in Africa.
REFERENCE SITES

- Separate chemistry laboratory.
A collaboration with Cavendish University's Medical School in Zambia to establish cutting-edge laboratories that will play an essential role in training Zambian medical professionals. Lasec® designed the laboratories, supplied and installed the laboratory furniture, and provided a significant portion of the laboratory equipment for the project, including seven laboratories. These laboratories included:
- Biochemistry
- Foundation Science
- Foundation Science Prep
- Microbiology and Parasitology
- Microbiology Prep Lab
- Pathology and Histology Lab
- Pharmacology and Physiology
