Ergonomics & Design
Ergonomics in the lab is just as important as in the office or any other facility. It is the main contributor to your efficiency, attitude to work, health, concentration and posture. A high quality, comfortable and well-designed lab stool is extremely important when considering your lab furnishings.

Lab Chairs vs. Office Chairs
Height Adjustment: Lab chairs are designed for various workstations like hoods and high benches, offering a wider pneumatic adjustment range compared to standard office chairs.
Backrest Support: Lab chair backrests are often adjustable both vertically and horizontally to prevent slouching during precision tasks like pipetting or dissection.
Materials: Unlike office furniture, lab stools use engineered polyurethane or stainless steel, making them non-porous, wipe-able, and anti-bacterial (PC2 compliant).
