Quick answer: African Labs provides furniture, cabinets & benching for new, replacement and refurbishment laboratory projects, with layouts and service interfaces coordinated around equipment, workflow, storage, loads and the laboratory process.
Laboratory Furniture, Cabinets & Benching should be planned around the actual laboratory process, equipment and users rather than treated as an isolated product or trade. African Laboratory Solutions (African Labs) provides laboratory infrastructure, specification, supply and installation support for new laboratories, replacement projects, refurbishments, relocations and reinstallation work across South Africa and selected African project markets.
The objective is to create laboratory infrastructure that is practical to install, appropriate for the application and coordinated with the surrounding technical services.
