Saving space in new laboratory buildings by using the SmartRack®
The SmartRack® already pays back its investment costs from the first year of its use.
- Each SmartRack® saves € 5,200 in investment costs for new laboratory buildings
- By using a SmartRack®, a space saving of approximately two laboratory grids of 300 mm each can be assumed.
- With passage areas saved in front of the fume hood, this results in a space saving of 1.00 m2.

By using a SmartRack®, a space saving of about 2 laboratory grids of 300 mm each can be assumed. With the passage area saved in front of the fume hood this results in a space saving of 1.00 m2.
How can up to 80% space be saved by using the SmartRack®?
- The use of the SmartRack offers enormous potential in terms of optimising laboratory workstations and increasing efficiency in work processes. This is made possible by the modularity of the SmartRack, because with just one click you can adapt your organisational system to your individual needs and remain flexible in terms of height and depth in the use of your workplace – at the same time, all the work equipment will always stay at hand and organised.
- As the world’s only organisation system for laboratory workstations, the SmartRack allows the consistent use of the room height at the laboratory workstation to create additional storage areas. This is a significant advantage, especially when working in fume hoods and safety cabinets.
- Classic cork rings for the storage of round flasks, tripod linkage for the storage of shaking or separating funnels and chromatography columns are associated with a large space requirement, instability and a high time investment during construction. The SmartRack solves all these problems.
- Holders already exist for numerous consumables, such as sample tubes, cell culture tubes, beaded bottles or laboratory screwed bottles, but these are neither coordinated with each other, nor can they be stored one above the other in height to save space. This means that the work in the laboratory fume hood or in the laboratory safety cabinet takes place primarily at the table level. However, this work surface is very limited.
- So the SmartRack makes it possible to clear a wide variety of laboratory accessories, glassware and samples from the table level into the SmartRack and, by doing so, to create a free work surface. The usable working area is significantly increased by consistent use of the room height at the laboratory workstation. This results in space savings of up to 80%.
Picture of the initial situation:
A classic, usually very messy laboratory workstation with a high risk of injury, long search times and the risk of sample confusion and sample loss.
Picture of the desired condition:
Very well-structured and tidy laboratory workstation when using two SmartRacks, in which the workstation has been extended with additional working space by taking advantage of the height. The central work surface is left free, allowing safe and efficient working.
Strategic cost savings as early as the laboratory planning stage.
Note: The basis for calculating the construction costs per square metre of laboratory space was developed by experts who have been working in the field of laboratory planning for many years and can be provided on request.
Conclusion:
Every SmartRack® saves € 5.200 in investment costs.
By using a SmartRack®, a space saving of about 2 laboratory grids of 300 mm each can be assumed. With the passage area saved in front of the fume hood this results in a space saving of 1.00 m2.
