Anatomy of a Modern Lab Install
Laboratory design is now going through the most notable rethinking in the last half-century. What has changed, in addition to modern diagnostic equipment that is de rigor, is the notion of versatility. There is a recognition that laboratories need to change as both purpose and technologies change.
Camtronics Employs Moveable Workstations with Cable Management
The main production floor at Camtronics Medical Systems (Hartland, Wisc.) employs an inventive arrangement of Dimension 4 workstations with connecting radius-back corner worksurfaces to achieve a practical, yet always adaptable, solution for assembling and testing the company’s various product lines.

Lab Design Critical to Modern R&D
Just north of San Francisco, CA, Lab-Rite Analytical is manufacturing an advanced, medical device for the treatment of a disease that afflicts millions around the world. With an all-new R&D/manufacturing lab in the works for this instrument, Facility Director, Charles Ingraham had the ability to design and furnish the new R&D lab/manufacturing facility to perfectly suit the company's needs.
Nokia Succeeds with Quick Ship
The Nokia engineers were interested in several benches from IAC's built-to-order product lines, except for the required long lead times. With a little ingenuity, Taylor came up with the idea to sell IAC's Standard D4 workstations with upgrades and accessories from IAC's Quick Ship product line.
U.C. Davis Applies LAN Stations to Neuroscience. Smart!
The average brain is just 1400cc, yet houses 100 billion neurons. So it's not surprising that a laboratory delving into the complexities of the brain would need to pack a lot of ‘smarts’ into a similarly compact area. In organizing 4 new research labs at the University of California at Davis, Systems Administrator for Research, Jeremy Smith, was faced with this challenge. Find out how Jeremy met his requirements.
