Laboratory Furniture
Safe, code-compliant storage for acids, flammable liquids, vacuum pumps and other hazardous materials, built to integrate with your laboratory casework.
Every laboratory stores materials that need more than a standard cabinet. Corrosive acids, flammable solvents, vacuum pumps and lithium-ion batteries each call for storage designed for the hazard. Lab Setup America supplies specialty casework that sits in line with your base cabinets and fume hoods, together with freestanding safety cabinets for chemical rooms, prep areas and bench tops.
As an authorized distributor of ICI Scientific, we help you choose the right cabinet, size it to your layout and coordinate venting, utilities and installation.
Chemical storage
Acid storage base cabinets keep corrosive chemicals contained, ventilated and clearly identified, directly below the fume hood or work surface where they are used. They are built into the casework run, so they match the surrounding cabinets in height, depth and finish.
| Configuration | Widths | Depth |
|---|---|---|
| Single door, left or right hinged | 12″, 18″, 24″ | 22″ |
| Double door | 30″, 36″, 42″, 48″ | 22″ |
Other heights and widths available on request.
Fire-safe liquid storage
Flammable storage cabinets protect solvents and other flammable or combustible liquids from fire and keep spills contained. Choose under-counter cabinets that fit in line with your casework, or suspended and mobile versions that slide under tables and work surfaces.
| Configuration | Widths |
|---|---|
| Single door, left or right hinged | 18″, 24″ |
| Double door | 30″, 36″, 42″, 48″ |
| Suspended and mobile versions | 18″ to 48″ |
Freestanding, bench-top, wall-mount and stainless steel flammable cabinets are shown in Section 6.
Equipment support
Vacuum pump cabinets house the pumps that serve fume hoods, rotary evaporators and other equipment, keeping noise and heat out of the lab while leaving the pump close to where it is needed.
| Configuration | Widths |
|---|---|
| Single door, left or right hinged | 15″, 18″, 21″, 24″ |
| Double door | 30″, 36″, 42″, 48″ |
Laboratory safety storage
For chemical storage rooms, prep areas and bench tops, we also supply freestanding safety storage cabinets from leading manufacturers. They complement your built-in casework and are available in a wide range of sizes, colours and door styles.
Full-height and under-counter cabinets from 12 to 90 gallons. Double-wall 18-gauge steel with a 1½" insulating air space, three-point latching, leak-proof sump and optional flame-arrestor vents. Manual-close or self-closing doors. FM Approved and UL/ULC 1275 models available.
304 stainless steel cabinets for cleanrooms, hospitals and laboratories where surfaces must be easy to clean and disinfect. 12 to 60 gallon models for under the fume hood, on the counter or on the wall. FM Approved.
Blue-coded cabinets with epoxy- or polyethylene-lined steel interiors, or all-polyethylene construction for highly corrosive chemicals. Bench-top, under-counter and full-height models with spill-containment sumps and adjustable shelves.
Compact cabinets for keeping small quantities of flammable or corrosive liquids at the point of use without taking up floor space.
Heavy-gauge double-wall steel cabinets for storing and charging lithium-ion batteries, with venting designed to relieve pressure in the event of thermal runaway.
Cabinets sized for waste containers so hazardous liquid waste can be collected safely in the lab until it is removed.
Identification
Safety cabinets are colour-coded so everyone in the lab can see what is stored inside.
| Colour | Contents |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Flammable liquids |
| Red | Combustibles, paints and inks |
| Blue | Acids and corrosives |
| Green | Pesticides |
| White or grey | Waste and general hazardous materials |
Compliance support
Our specialty cabinets are designed to help laboratories meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106, NFPA 30 and local fire codes. Many models are FM Approved or listed to UL/ULC 1275. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and by the chemicals stored, so our team will help you confirm the right cabinet with your safety officer or local fire authority.
Why Lab Setup America
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Acid, flammable and vacuum pump base cabinets are made to sit under fume hoods and in line with standard base cabinets. Acid and vacuum pump cabinets connect to the hood exhaust through a vent kit.
Fire codes do not always require flammable cabinets to be vented. Each cabinet has vent openings with spark screens, so it can be vented where your safety officer or local fire authority requires it.
OSHA and NFPA 30 limit a single cabinet to 60 gallons of Category 1–3 flammable liquids. Local codes can set lower limits, so we size cabinets to your inventory and jurisdiction.
