Chromatography Lab Benches

LC in a laboratory stands for Liquid Chromatography, an analytical technique used to separate, identify, and quantify components in a mixture using a liquid mobile phase. It is widely used in pharmaceutical research, environmental testing, and biotech R&D. In analytical labs, LC instruments are often paired with mass spectrometers (LC-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.

These chromatography lab benches are purpose-built for a wide range of industries including Pharmaceutical & Biotech (supporting LC-MS and GC-MS workflows in drug research and analytical testing), Clinical & Diagnostics (with OEM-integrated benches for Siemens and Beckman Coulter instruments), Environmental Analysis (for GC and LC instruments used in environmental sample testing), and Agriscience & Veterinary Diagnostics (supporting R&D and diagnostics workflows).
