Shelving Vented Glass Doors Sliding Compact Storage Science Lab Airflow Cabinets

Shelving with vented glass doors on sliding compact storage double capacity usage

Four-post shelving with vented glass doors on sliding compact storage create science lab airflow cabinets that keep classroom chemicals safe and organized in less space. Experts designed the solution in response to a request from university facility and staff wanting a safer way to store the hazardous materials. Read on to learn how the system managed to meet this need while increasing capacity usage and more.

Higher-education environments, like the university profiled here, need to store chemicals used in student lab classes and faculty research. The materials can often be hazardous and require safekeeping to prevent unauthorized access. Items need storing in a location with proper ventilation that can prevent fume growth, as well.

The school’s approach to storing chemicals included keeping everything in a locked storeroom close to becoming overcrowded. It would not do, so educators reached out to the local storage consultant with a request to design a more appropriate solution. Apart from promoting airflow and security, it needed to provide more storage space and visibility.

To accommodate the users’ request, experts adapted specialized shelving with vented glass doors. Then, mounted everything to floor track sliding compact storage that allows users to double capacity usage with an easy-to-use push button. It controls carriage movement to eliminate empty access aisles that waste valuable space. Closed rows rest in an area half the size, allowing users to reclaim unused space and store twice as much in the same footprint.

Science lab airflow cabinets keep chemicals safe

The mobile science lab airflow cabinets include other features that address visibility, safety, and ventilation concerns. A louvered design on the door’s lower exterior ensures air can find its way to the inside while flexible ductwork removes it from the top to stop fume buildup. Specifying slotted shelves that enable air to circulate throughout the unit boosted ventilation more to ensure safer chemical handling. Users can see right through the systems and identify stored items with complete visual clarity during retrieval. Keyed locks on the doors provide efficient protection against anyone not authorized to have chemical access.
