Better Basics - Unlock Your Lab Potential
Fields of application – industries and activities
The SmartRack® and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line are suitable for a very wide range of applications. No matter whether in the
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Biochemistry
- Food industry
- Pharmacy
- Medicine
- Biotechnology
- Analytics
the requirements for laboratory equipment are as specific as the work of scientific users is versatile. Our products fall under the category of basic equipment for laboratories and can be adapted to the individual needs of different fields of application. For example, the different sizes of the SmartRack® available mean it is suitable for work in fume hoods and in safety cabinets as well as for all other laboratory workstations. The modules are adapted to a wide range of laboratory accessories and laboratory glassware, thus simplifying various tasks involving round-bottom flasks, pipettes or well plates, for example.
Fields of application – Clean room
The use of a SmartRack® is possible without restriction on the basis of existing rules and regulations up to cleanroom class 4 (ISO-6 or 1,000 according to US Fed. Std. 209) as well as through verification of the applicability in everyday laboratory work by different users.
The following arguments qualify the SmartRack® and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line for use in the cleanroom:
- Tribological loads: There are no or negligible tribological loads when using our products.
- Outgassing of materials: Epoxy resin coatings (as present in the powder coating of epoxy resin of the SmartRack® frame) are also used in the coating of floors in cleanrooms and are considered uncritical. Likewise, there is no particle emission from the green paint layer, the UV protective layer and the infiltrate.
- Chemical resistance: The chemical resistance of the materials used is very high. A detailed overview of the resistance to aggressive media can be found here on our website.
- Biological resistance: The biological resistance, the microbicidal properties and the cleanability of all materials used can be rated as very high.
Fields of application – Clean room
The SmartRack® and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line can be used on the basis of existing rules and regulations according to German DIN EN 12128 (laboratories for research, development and analysis, safety levels of microbiological laboratories, hazardous area, premises and technical safety requirements) up to at least safety level S3.
All requirements of the German DIN EN 12128 are met by the SmartRack® and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line:
- Our products create sufficient working space for each employee on the laboratory work surfaces
- Our products create a good overview and a reduction of danger when handling hazardous agents
- Our products are impermeable to water and liquids
- The surfaces of our products® are easy to clean, all parts of the SmartRack® are autoclavable
- The materials of our products® are resistant to disinfectants, cleaning agents, acids, alkalis, solvents and other chemicals that are commonly used
Why the SmartRack® and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line also have a place in your laboratory
Whether you need general basic equipment for your laboratory or special experimental set-ups for analytics, the SmartRack® and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line are your first choice. They increase efficiency and improve occupational safety by improving the organization of workstations and creating free work space. They also actively support the health of your employees and save costs by avoiding laboratory accidents, sample mix-ups and sample loss.
The world's first laboratory organisation system reforms laboratory workstations and working processes in laboratories
Whether it’s an initial equipment or a retrofitting of an existing laboratory, the SmartRack® and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line offer the potential to optimise traditional laboratory work in terms of efficiency by up to 10% and, at the same time, to save 80% space in the laboratory fume hood. Direct as well as indirect potentials go hand in hand, because creating more order and cleanliness at the laboratory workstation leads to a reduction of ergonomic strains and increases efficiency. This means that
- Laboratory equipment and laboratory glassware as well as
- samples and consumables in the laboratory
can be stored much more easily and used more safely. Walking distances and set-up times are eliminated, time and space are saved at the laboratory workstation and used more optimally.
How does the SmartRack® work as a laboratory organisation system?
- The stable body of the SmartRack® is set up at the workstation in the laboratory fume hood, in the laboratory safety cabinet or on the workbench. No further preparatory work or preparations are necessary for this. Several cross connectors, also called slot rails, are mounted in the SmartRack® frame, into which the module holders can be flexibly inserted.
- The SmartRack® module holders are hooked into the slot rails using a click mechanism. In this way, the module holders are securely and reliably fixed and immediately allow you to store laboratory glassware, samples or laboratory work equipment as well as digital work equipment such as barcode scanners and tablets in them.
- The slot rails can be hooked into the SmartRack® frame at various heights and depths, which creates maximum flexibility when equipping the SmartRack®.
- Due to the optimised connection of the slot rail and the module holder, the module holders can be simply and immediately released by tilting and can subsequently be moved horizontally in an efficient way. This allows modules to be easily and quickly positioned exactly where users need them.
The SmartRack® and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line support you:
- As safe as possible, as flexible as necessary: laboratory users can adjust both the height and the depth of the slot rails. The module holders suspended in the slot rails can be moved horizontally within the slot rail.
- User-friendly & ergonomic: The one-handed equipping and removal of the laboratory equipment and samples from the SmartRack® and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line, within the user’s gripping range, greatly simplifies and speeds up access.
- Lean Management and quality management systems such as 5S can be implemented and applied concretely in the laboratory environment with the SmartRack®and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line: Our products guarantee more order and cleanliness at the workstation and changs behaviour at the laboratory workstation.
- Time-saving: Materials and laboratory equipment are provided exactly where they are processed and needed. So the SmartRack® and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line reduce walking distances and time needed to search throughout the user’s laboratory.
- Space-saving: By using the room height in the laboratory fume hood, the SmartRack® and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line create new storage areas. So the SmartRack® and the innovative solutions of the SmartIntegrate product line multiply the available working space in the gripping area, reaching area and stretching area.
