Product Information |
• Provides secure collection of hazardous liquid waste, ensuring safe handling of flammable or toxic reagents • Includes dual acoustic and optical alarms for timely alerts, reliable monitoring, and rapid response in critical situations. • Uses corrosion-resistant conductive polymers to ensure chemical compatibility and long-term durability in laboratory environments. • Features automatic float-level detection that triggers alarms at 90% capacity, prompting immediate user intervention. |
• Preloaded laboratory categories (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Biosafety, etc.) streamline and standardise laboratory labelling. • Users can assign or update label information from a computer, tablet, or mobile device. • Electronic labels instantly display updated chemical names, expiry dates, and safety warnings. • Color-coded indicators visually classify labels. |
• Height-adjustable electric system that allows effortless switching between sitting and standing positions. • Stable, high-performance structure engineered to support sensitive HPLC instruments. • Integrated control panel with keyboard and digital display for precise height and workflow adjustments. • Durable Fundermax HPL benchtop and robust column design built for long-term laboratory use. |
• Since we implemented Norlab’s innovation solutions as analytical equipment, the software labelling system eliminated our chronic sample misidentification issues, we went from 3-4 errors per week to zero in six months. 
• We’re seeing 22% improvement in first-pass analytical accuracy, which we attribute to reduced physical fatigue. We’ve standardised on these innovation and solutions, and our inter-site variability is now negligible.
The Electric Bench is specifically engineered to support sensitive HPLC instrumentation, which means the structure is designed for both static load capacity and vibration rigidity — two requirements that standard height-adjustable desks don’t meet. HPLC systems with pumps, detectors, and solvent reservoirs can weigh anywhere from 50 to 150 lbs depending on configuration.
The Electric Bench’s column design and Fundermax HPL countertop distribute that load without flex or resonance that could interfere with pump pressure stability or detector baseline. Exact load specifications for your specific instrument configuration are confirmed during the design consultation.
The integrated control panel with digital display allows precise height adjustment with programmable memory positions — meaning operators can save their preferred sitting and standing heights and switch between them with a single button press rather than manually dialing in the height each time.
Speed of adjustment is designed to be smooth and controlled rather than fast, which matters when HPLC systems or other sensitive instruments are on the surface — a rapid jolt during movement can disturb pressure equilibrium in connected systems. The specific travel range and speed are confirmed based on your workflow requirements during the design phase.
The electric lift mechanism runs on standard 110V AC power, which means no special electrical infrastructure is needed beyond a standard outlet near the bench location. The control panel and motor draw minimal current during adjustment — well within what a standard 15A circuit handles alongside the lab equipment on the surface. If the bench will be placed in a location without a nearby outlet, that’s a consideration to flag during the layout design phase so the electrical plan accounts for it.
Electric Benches are designed as standalone units that integrate into existing lab layouts without requiring a full redesign. The key planning considerations are floor space for the full range of height adjustment (the footprint stays the same, but overhead clearance matters if there are cabinets above), proximity to a power outlet, and workflow positioning relative to other instruments the operator uses during a session.
If you’re adding an Electric Bench to an existing lab, Norlab Furniture LLC team reviews your current layout and confirms the integration points before anything is ordered or manufactured.
No, the lift mechanism includes a safety lock that holds the bench at its current height in the event of a power interruption. There is no sudden drop. Once power is restored, the bench resumes normal operation from where it stopped. This is a critical design requirement for any bench supporting analytical instrumentation, where an unexpected height change could damage equipment or disrupt ongoing analysis. The safety lock engages automatically and requires no manual intervention.
