Product Profile: Document Holder

June 25, 2019 By Melissa

Our customers love our heavy-duty document holder. It’s perfect for busy labs and cleanrooms because it can easily hold heavy binders without cracking or snapping. Our document holders are made with extremely durable, chemical-resistant, non-corrosive plastic and can be built to your specifications to create exactly what you need. Each one is constructed so that it is easy to clean – there are no tiny crevices or sharp corners to snag at cloths. This is one of those products that you didn’t know you needed, until you’ve used it!

Product Profile: Filtered Downdraft Table

April 9, 2019 By Melissa

Plastic Concepts is excited to introduce our unique safety solution for lab processes that would normally require the use of ducted exhaust ventilation – like a snorkel – to perform tasks at a workbench.

By using negative air pressure and advanced filtration technology from Erlab Inc., the air is scrubbed clean and recirculated into the lab. Solvents, acids, odors, fumes, powders, and particulates are pulled away from the user through the back of the table and then filtered through filtration and detection technology. Since the clean, filtered air is exhausted back into the lab, this eliminates the need to connect to exhaust ventilation. This is a significant benefit to many labs that don’t have the budget or time for a redesign.

Perfect for use in many industries:

School/University Labs
Biotech
Medical Device
Electronics

Perfect for use with many different processes:

Life Science
Animal Subjects
Anatomy Studies
Soldering
Necropsies
Dissection
Embalming
Taxidermy
Cleaning Procedures

Customer Story:
The biology lab at a university was looking for a solution for managing the fumes from the chemicals used in their animal specimens. Plastic Concepts, equipped with Erlab’s technology, was able to create a new customized anatomy table for this teaching lab. The low-profile design and customized filtration was the ideal solution for safety, affordability and flexibility!
