A U.S. biotechnology company specializing in cell research and gene amplification required a coordinated laboratory setup combining research workstations, ventilation equipment, precision weighing instruments, and temperature-controlled sample storage.
VitalLab supplied central laboratory benches with reagent shelves and overhead cabinets, fume hoods with variable-speed exhaust control, analytical balances, liquid nitrogen storage tanks, -25°C and -80°C laboratory freezers, biological safety cabinets, and incubators. The project also included installation drawings and remote technical assistance following delivery to the Port of Long Beach, California.
The laboratory layout brought together essential furniture and equipment for daily research activities.
Central benches with integrated reagent shelves and overhead cabinets provided accessible storage around the work area. Dedicated weighing tables and analytical balances in different capacity and precision ranges supported measurement tasks, while biological safety cabinets and incubators provided equipment for designated biological handling and controlled incubation procedures.
For sample preservation, the package included liquid nitrogen storage tanks and freezers operating at -25°C and -80°C, allowing the laboratory to select appropriate storage conditions according to sample requirements and established protocols.
A key consideration was adapting the exhaust solution to the client's ductwork configuration and expected fume hood usage.
VitalLab supplied fume hoods together with a variable-speed exhaust fan and variable frequency drive (VFD) control system. When fewer fume hoods are operating, the system can adjust fan speed to reduce unnecessary exhaust airflow and potential energy waste, rather than continuously running at a fixed high speed.
Appropriate fan control, airflow balancing, and system commissioning remain essential to maintaining the required fume hood performance. This approach integrates ventilation planning into the broader laboratory setup instead of treating exhaust equipment as a separate purchase.
The laboratory furniture and equipment were shipped to the Port of Long Beach, California. VitalLab provided installation drawings to help the client coordinate equipment placement and on-site assembly.
After delivery, our team offered remote installation assistance to address questions during the installation process. This combination of equipment supply, technical documentation, and remote support helped coordinate the project from shipment through installation.
This project combined laboratory furniture, exhaust ventilation, precision weighing, and low-temperature sample storage in one coordinated package.
For biotechnology and research facilities planning new laboratory space or expanding existing capabilities, VitalLab provides laboratory furniture and equipment solutions tailored to project layouts, technical requirements, and installation needs.
