COVERS ALL CLASSIFICATIONSThe classification of the laboratory is decisive for the selection of the final solution, as well as for the final construc-tion, design and material selection. Labflex is specialised, e.g. in furnishing GMO and microbiological laboratories, sterile rooms and personnel air locks. Labflex’s systems can therefore accom-modate all needs and requirements that exist for this type of special laboratories. It is Labflex’s area of specialisation to provide the right consulting about both furnishing and specific product and ma-terial selection. The final solution may comprise a standard system or a spe-cially designed and produced customer-specific solution.

USER INNOVATIONLabflex’s furniture systems are based on user innovation. They are all developed and optimised in close cooperation with professional laboratory users. Such a de-velopment process focuses on working procedures, lighting, room limitations, furniture and equipment, ergonomics, service life, environment, flexibility, etc.

All customers benefit from this approach we apply in the development of our furniture systems. It ensures that the construction, design and functionality are relevant, contemporary and durable. Labflex’s analysis and design process is an important element in the future proofing of a laboratory.

OPTIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY PRODUCTSAll workstations can be delivered with supple-mentary products such as, for example, fume cupboards, LAF benches, fume enclosures, fume extractors, microscope tables, balance tables and supports for balance stone, as well as chemical, medicine and conventional storage cabinets. Labflex offers complete solutions to your laboratory.

SPECIAL SOLUTIONSIf Labflex’s standard systems are not sufficient for meeting the customer’s requirements, Labflex can offer custom-ised solutions. These special solutions ensure 100% adaptation to actual user

and building requirements. Labflex’s team of engineers and architects will identify and analyse your needs in and around the laboratory and will subse-quently develop the optimum laboratory solution for you.
