Laboratory stools and chairs should be designed in accordance with special requirements in terms of comfort, ergonomics, durability and hygiene. Here are the ideal stool and chair features for laboratories:

Ergonomics: Since the laboratory environment will be sat for long periods of time, an ergonomic design that protects the health of the spine is important. Lumbar support, adjustable seat height and back angle should be provided. Ergonomic adjustments allow employees to change their positions, thus reducing muscle fatigue.

Durable Materials: Laboratory stools should be made of materials resistant to chemicals, extreme temperature changes and physical impacts. Steel or aluminum frames, anti-static coatings and spill-resistant surfaces are ideal.

Hygiene and Cleanliness: Hygiene is a critical factor in the laboratory environment. Easy-to-clean, antibacterial and stain-resistant materials should be preferred. Vinyl or specially coated polyurethane surfaces can be easily wiped and are resistant to chemicals.

Non-Slip and Safe Base: It is important for stools to have a non-slip base for employee safety. Wheeled stools can be equipped with braked and lockable wheels, thus preventing the stool from moving unintentionally.

Footrest: Adjustable footrests provide comfort for users working on high surfaces for long periods of time. A support area where the feet can be comfortably placed increases comfort and reduces foot muscle fatigue.

Protection Against Static Electricity: Protection against static electricity may be important in laboratories where chemical and electronic processes are performed. For this reason, anti-static materials should be preferred.

Height Adjustable Mechanism: Stools and chairs that can be adjusted in height should be preferred to adapt to work surfaces of different heights. This feature can be provided with gas piston or manual adjustment mechanisms.

Laboratory stools and chairs with these features support both employee comfort and safety and provide long-lasting use.
