Product Description
Ergonomics in the lab is just as important as in the office, the factory 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. Potential injury from ergonomics is underestimated, as serious muscular and skeletal injury can be the result of bad posture and static working positions.
The Perfect Sitting Position:
- Sit with your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest
- Have a 100-110° reclining position (if applicable)
- Push your hips as far back into the chair as possible
- Keep your knees at 90° or less
- Use back or lumbar support where possible
Laboratory Stool Guide
Laboratories are subject to delicate materials and rigorous regulations. A safe, durable, and purpose-built stool is essential. Laboratory stools made from engineered polyurethane are:
Non-porous & Wipe-able
Anti-bacterial & Easy to Decontaminate
PC2 Compliant Surfaces
Ergonomic to Prevent RSI/OOS
Lab Chairs vs Office Chairs
Height Range
Lab chairs offer wide height ranges for different workstations (hoods, medium or high benches), whereas office chairs are typically designed only for standard desk heights.
Adjustable Backrest
Lab chairs feature backrests that adjust vertically and horizontally to support tasks like pipetting or dissection, providing better lumbar support for precision work.
Innovative Armrests
Lab chairs often feature 6-way adjustable armrests (up/down, in/out, twist) to avoid impeding lab tasks while maintaining ergonomics.
Footrings & Seat Tilt
Adjustable footrings maintain circulation during high-bench work. Seat tilt options help users who need to lean forward over equipment without straining their spine.
