School Chemistry Laboratory Furniture
Chemistry Lab package:
Chemistry is a fascinating subject as it allows a learner to understand the complexities of the concepts through experiments and tests. One has to procure equipment, apparatus, chemicals, reagents, and indicators to understand all chemistry concepts.
The Chemistry lab package comprises two types of equipment: glass and plastic. The former consists of test tubes, beakers, volumetric flasks, pipettes, etc., and the latter consists of wash bottles, etc.
A range of apparatus required for conducting the chemistry practicals, like Kipp’s apparatus, Distillation Apparatus, Electrolysis Apparatus, etc., is also included in the package. Also, necessary chemicals, reagents, and indicators are there in the package.
As per the school board (ICSE/CBSE/IB/state board) and the practical projects included in their syllabus, CBG supplies Chemistry lab equipment for schools that fulfils the school’s requirements.
While designing the school chemistry lab furniture, the first thing to weigh in on and consider would be the dimensions of the lab, the plumbing line, and the drainage water line. It is important to note if the available lab space abides by the guidelines set by the affiliation body the school adheres to (e.g., CBSE). Following that, it is critical to confirm that the infrastructure complies with the safety guidelines established by the respective governing body, such as adequate fire safety exits and so on. The second factor to be ascertained is the student batch strength. These two factors will help us determine the basic layout and structure of the lab. The next set of points for us to note would be the water inlet and drainage outlet facilities, the gas connections, and how they lay across the lab space. This will aid us in designing the most efficient sink and Bunsen burner system to be incorporated into the lab furniture.
We recommend the following as a mandatory part of every well-equipped chemistry lab.
Frequently interspersed reagent racks are provided to aid the students in conveniently reaching frequently used reagents.
Wall storage cupboards at a convenient height for storing equipment. and other ancillary items.
Separate bulk storage cupboards for acids and other corrosive chemicals to be treated with caution.
A standalone preparation table to prepare mixtures for the ongoing experiment.
A teacher’s table in an area with the highest visibility makes for an effective demonstration.
All tables to be ergonomically designed, with ample elbow room for every student in the workspace to maximise efficiency and safety.
Ergonomic dimensions of tables must be determined keeping the average height of the student body in mind,
Sinks must be placed at frequent intervals in convenient positions to promote ease of washing and prevent the backsplash of water or chemicals onto other students.
Fume hoods are extremely important in any school science lab for good laboratory practices and observe proper student safety to avoid any possible health hazards that might arise from handling reactions that result in toxic fumes.
Spillage kit, first aid kit, safety chart, and fire extinguishers must all be readily available to deal with any possible contingencies.
