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.

Laboratories are areas subject to very delicate materials and dangerous exposures, which involve rigorous regulations. As opposed to low-cost, cheaply built stools, laboratory stools are made to suit their environment. Made from engineered polyurethane, stools purpose-built for labs are:

• Non-porous and easy to decontaminate
• Wipe-able and Anti-bacterial
• PC2 compliant surfaces (smooth and impermeable)
• Anti-swing design for student safety

Height: Lab chairs are designed for high bench workstations with pneumatic height adjustment, unlike standard office chairs which are built for regular desks.

Backrest: Laboratory chair backrests are often adjustable vertically and horizontally to prevent slouching during precise tasks like pipetting or dissection.

Footrings: Lab stools feature adjustable footrings to sustain circulation in the lower body when working at medium or high benches.

Seat Tilt: Tilt options are critical for users who need to lean forward into equipment without stressing the spine.
