Medical Laboratory Furniture
Modular casework is an excellent solution for any laboratory. Unlike traditional millwork, modular casework is not built into the wall. Not only does this make for a quicker and cleaner installation process, but it also means you can relocate and reconfigure the casework as needed. So if you need to move or reorganize your space, you don’t have to throw out your casework; instead, the furniture can move with you, making it an excellent long-term storage investment.
Casework kits include lower base cabinets and upper wall-mounted cabinets, with various customization options available, including hinged or sliding doors, solid or glass doors, doorless cabinets, sinks, backsplashes, and more. Lab casework can be constructed of stainless steel, metal, or laminate; stainless steel is the most sanitary choice and is recommended for medical applications (check out more of our healthcare storage solutions here).
We also offer a range of chemical-resistant countertops for laboratory casework and tables. Epoxy resin, phenolic resin, and stainless steel surfaces resist moisture, chemicals, and bacteria. Our specialists can help you decide which material best suits your lab needs.
Lab Storage Cabinets
In addition to casework, we have a selection of stainless steel cabinets that provide safe storage for lab equipment and specimens. Options include larger freestanding lab storage cabinets or smaller wall-mounted cabinets, which provide convenient storage without taking up additional floor space. You can opt for flat or sloped tops, glass doors for visibility, and more customizations. We also offer shelving units with modular drawers for secure and convenient lab specimen storage.
Pathology Storage
Histology and pathology labs need efficient long-term solutions for storing large quantities of glass slides and paraffin tissue blocks. High-density storage systems and vertical storage carousels store pathology specimens while saving space and improving accessibility.
High-density storage systems consist of shelving units mounted on sliding floor tracks. The compact design eliminates wasted static aisle space to double your storage capacity in your existing footprint, even freeing up room for future growth. Staff can quickly access shelving units by manually turning an ergonomic handle to open a movable access aisle, and powered push-button systems are also available.
Vertical storage carousels are an automated storage solution that stores lab slides, tissue blocks, and other specimens in a compact footprint, saving up to 75% of your floor space compared with traditional storage methods. Storing specimens on vertically rotating shelves with inventory management software, technicians can quickly locate and retrieve needed slides with minimal effort.
Additionally, the histology slide sorting machine automates the process of sorting, filing, and storing slides, saving staff an immense amount of time and effort. The device automatically sorts slides into magazines, tracking the storage locations in a database. All staff members have to do is load slides into the machine and then transfer the filled magazines to long-term storage. The database allows staff to locate any slide anytime, making lab specimen slide storage and retrieval virtually effortless. Visit our online store to see our healthcare storage products.
Lab Cold Storage
Many sensitive lab specimens require refrigerated or freezer storage for adequate preservation. For specimen collections too large to fit in a few standalone refrigerators or freezers, high-density storage systems are excellent solutions for making the most efficient use of costly lab cold storage space. Vertical storage carousels are also suited for climate-controlled storage.
Fume Hoods
In addition to the laboratory storage solutions discussed above, we also provide various types of fume hoods. Fume hoods are crucial lab equipment that keeps lab technicians safe by extracting hazardous contaminants and vapors from the laboratory. We offer traditional laboratory fume hoods, more flexible ductless ones, and other fume extraction systems.

Healthcare Testimonials
“Southwest Solutions Group assisted us in the setup of equipment and services for our offsite medical record warehouse housing over one million charts. They have moved over 330,000 records from the main hospital to the medical record warehouse in a weekend time period, and converted thousands of charts for us. They have provided us a new chart tracking system, labeling system, and file conversion services over a multi-month process. Their IT group was able to modify our existing records management software to “talk” to our main software program so we could print color coded labels for our medical record charts. In addition, they have provided many other services to Parkland hospital including file shelving, hospital storage equipment needs, and software support. Southwest Solutions Group does exceptional work.”
“Our experience with Southwest Solutions Group could not have been better. Matt (sales rep) was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. Our shelving project required many changes and revisions and Matt never flinched when thrown a challenge. Many thanks to the installation crew for putting in a twelve hour day to complete our project on time. We give a 100% satisfaction rating to Matt and the Southwest Solutions Group team.”
“Thank you for your donation! I wanted to let you know that we ordered a donor sign for our storage room. The sign will be displayed outside the storage room located near the main kitchen/dining room. This should give you some good exposure!”
