Chromatography Lab Benches

LC (Liquid Chromatography) and GC (Gas Chromatography) are both analytical techniques used in laboratories to separate, identify, and quantify components in a mixture. LC uses a liquid mobile phase and is widely used in pharmaceutical research, environmental testing, and biotech R&D, while GC is used for analyzing volatile compounds in environmental sample testing and other analytical workflows. Both techniques are commonly paired with mass spectrometers (LC-MS, GC-MS) and require dedicated, load-rated benches to ensure instrument stability and workflow efficiency.

All chromatography lab benches in this category are rated at 1,000 lbs, making them suitable for supporting mass spectrometers, liquid chromatography systems, gas chromatography instruments, vacuum pumps, and associated ancillary equipment simultaneously without compromising structural integrity or instrument performance.

These benches are compatible with all major analytical instrument manufacturers including Thermo Fisher Scientific, Agilent Technologies, Waters Corporation, Shimadzu, Bruker, Sciex, PerkinElmer, Beckman Coulter, and Siemens Diagnostics. Workplace Modular Systems holds named OEM partner status with Waters, Siemens Diagnostics, and Beckman Coulter.

These benches comply with SEFA 8 chemical resistance standards for laboratory furniture, are ISO/IEC 17025 compatible for analytical laboratory environments, and are BSL-1 Ready. BSL 2-3 configurations are currently in development. They are also designed to support OSHA 1910 laboratory safety requirements.

Yes. Workplace Modular Systems offers 9 standard size and configuration options plus fully custom configurations to accommodate specific instrument footprints and laboratory workflows. Free design consultations and complimentary engineered drawings are provided. Custom orders are typically manufactured and shipped within 30–45 calendar days.

Available work surface materials include Epoxy Resin, Phenolic Resin, and Post-formed Plastic Laminate. Select configurations also offer steel and wood top options. All surface materials are evaluated for chemical resistance in compliance with SEFA 8 standards to withstand the solvents and reagents commonly used in LC, GC, and MS workflows.

Yes. These chromatography lab benches feature integrated solvent storage and vacuum pump enclosures as part of their purpose-built design. These built-in features help labs maintain organized, safe, and efficient analytical workflows while keeping hazardous materials properly housed in compliance with laboratory safety standards.
