LABOSAFE Chemical Storage Cabinets

Laboratories routinely handle corrosive, toxic, irritant and environmentally hazardous substances. Without the correct storage, these materials can degrade, leak or release vapours over time, creating background contamination. Labosafe cabinets are built in accordance with EN 14727, ensuring they meet the recognised European standards for laboratory storage units. They are designed specifically to prevent long-term risks, supporting safe storage, clear organisation and correct handling procedures.

Labosafe cabinets incorporate a number of user-centred design features to make day-to-day handling safer and more intuitive:

• Pull-out trays with internal grids to protect containers and manage spills effectively

• Integrated LED lighting, activated when the doors open, improving identification of stored chemicals

• Clear safety signage inside and outside the cabinet to guide correct use and prevent storage of incompatible substances

• Wide-opening, acid-resistant doors for easier loading and unloading

A lower spill-containment tank captures accidental leaks, with trays designed to drain directly into the tank to keep the internal area clean and controlled.

Made from flame-retardant, high-resistance materials including grey melamine, Labgrade HPL laminate and epoxy-coated steel trays, Labosafe cabinets are built for long service life even in corrosive atmospheres. Internal components are positioned to avoid direct chemical contact where possible, further improving durability.

To prevent exposure to harmful vapours, Labosafe cabinets can be integrated with an active extraction and filtration system. Air is drawn through:

1. Front ventilation grids

2. A rear extraction chamber

3. Activated carbon filters

4. An electric exhaust fan that discharges clean air externally

Airflow is automatically adjusted depending on whether one or both doors are open.

The Labosafe Integrated Controller (L.I.C.) supervises extraction, airflow, alarms and routine maintenance schedules. Key monitored functions include:

• Filter lifespan and replacement

• Extraction calibration

• Interior lighting

• Door-open alarms

• Optional controlled-access locking

• Optional internal temperature monitoring
