Stainless Steel Casework
Stainless steel laboratory casework combines cabinets, work surfaces, sinks, storage and utility coordination into a durable laboratory system. USPE supports modular and custom casework for pathology, histology, medical examiner, anatomy, veterinary, healthcare and research environments.
Key planning considerations
- Base, wall and tall stainless lab cabinets
- Stainless steel lab workbenches and tables
- Sink bases, utilities and ventilation coordination
- Non-porous surfaces, cleanability and seam details
- Material grade, finish and chemical compatibility
- Load ratings, locks and secure storage
- Room dimensions, ADA reach ranges and clearances
- Modular systems versus custom casework
- Equipment schedules, submittals and RFQs
Build a quote-ready equipment scope
Useful RFQs identify the facility type, project stage, intended workflow, quantities, room constraints, available utilities, required options and expected delivery timing. When drawings or bid documents are available, include them during project review so equipment requirements can be coordinated around the full scope.
Why facilities specify stainless laboratory casework
Stainless steel can provide a durable, non-porous and readily cleanable surface for laboratory cabinets and work areas. Corrosion and stain performance varies with alloy grade, surface finish, fabrication quality, contaminants, cleaning agents and chemical exposure, so project specifications should document the real operating conditions.
Casework can be configured with adjustable shelves, drawers, compartments, sink bases, lockable storage, mobile units and coordinated laboratory workbenches. USPE supports both standard configurations and project-specific layouts for institutional purchasing.
