Scientists, like chefs in a kitchen, often complain that there\u2019s not enough counter space. Laboratory tables serve as a space for all kinds of experiments, data collection, research, and applications, and they can quickly become cluttered with various equipment such as autoclaves, circulators, water baths, pipettes, spectrophotometers, and more. Adding additional tables and workspaces can go a long way in helping improve workflow, results, and productivity. But what exactly should you be looking for in a laboratory work surface and which materials make the best lab table countertop? Let\u2019s explore the options.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><strong>What is a science lab table?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div>A laboratory table, also known as a workbench or simply a bench, is where scientists do a good portion of their work. You can find laboratory tables and benches in schools and universities, research centers, diagnostic labs, medical facilities, and industrial and manufacturing facilities.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Science tables, worktops, and workbenches come in a variety of configurations, sizes, and colors. Some may have a simple, flat surface while others include drawers, shelves, or cabinetry. When selecting a laboratory table, you\u2019ll want to pay particular attention to the surface material or tabletop.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Different labs have different needs, so you\u2019ll need to think about your environment and the type of experiments, materials, and applications that take place on any given day. Will the table be in a wet lab or a dry lab? Does it need to meet any special requirements, such as high-heat resistance or clean room compatibility? Will it be exposed to caustic chemicals? All of these factors must be considered when it comes to laboratory work surfaces.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Here are a few of the qualities that make a good science table countertop:<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Strength and durability<\/div>\n<div>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Chemical, bacteria, and solvent resistance<\/div>\n<div>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Hygienic, non-porous properties<\/div>\n<div>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Easy cleaning and maintenance<\/div>\n<div>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Scratch, stain, and impact resistance<\/div>\n<div>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fair cost and availability<\/div>\n<div>\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Appearance and aesthetics<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_bdcd8736-cadd-41eb-ae2e-1ddfa53685b8_GettyImages-1395112752-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1456\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:1200px;height:675px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_bdcd8736-cadd-41eb-ae2e-1ddfa53685b8_GettyImages-1395112752-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_bdcd8736-cadd-41eb-ae2e-1ddfa53685b8_GettyImages-1395112752-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_bdcd8736-cadd-41eb-ae2e-1ddfa53685b8_GettyImages-1395112752-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_bdcd8736-cadd-41eb-ae2e-1ddfa53685b8_GettyImages-1395112752-1-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_bdcd8736-cadd-41eb-ae2e-1ddfa53685b8_GettyImages-1395112752-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Scientific laboratory workplace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>What are the top materials for science lab tables?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Like kitchen countertops, there are many materials to choose from, so let\u2019s start by reviewing the most common science lab table surfaces and countertop materials.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Phenolic Resin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Phenolic resin is an extremely popular choice for life science and chemistry labs because it can withstand chemicals, acids, bases, salts, solvents, halogens, and other materials frequently used in a lab. Phenolic resin surfaces are made by layering kraft paper soaked in resin and processing them at high temperatures to create a lightweight solid tabletop. The manufacturing process creates a hygienic, non-porous, non-conductive surface that\u2019s durable, easy to clean, and can be formed into various shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_442a2d4f-1bab-4d4c-93d9-8ac59d2f7523_GettyImages-1406498915-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1457\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:1200px;height:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_442a2d4f-1bab-4d4c-93d9-8ac59d2f7523_GettyImages-1406498915-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_442a2d4f-1bab-4d4c-93d9-8ac59d2f7523_GettyImages-1406498915-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_442a2d4f-1bab-4d4c-93d9-8ac59d2f7523_GettyImages-1406498915-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_442a2d4f-1bab-4d4c-93d9-8ac59d2f7523_GettyImages-1406498915-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_442a2d4f-1bab-4d4c-93d9-8ac59d2f7523_GettyImages-1406498915.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Phenolic resin scientific laboratory countertop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Epoxy Resin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Epoxy resin is another common laboratory material for tables and workbenches. It offers resistance to corrosive chemicals, heat, moisture, and impact damage. To create epoxy resin countertops, resin, silica, hardener, and filler are molded and oven-cured into a heavy, solid slab. The curing process makes epoxy resin impenetrable to bacteria, mold, germs, and mildew. Epoxy resin work surfaces are non-absorbent and work well in wet labs or near sinks. The material is highly durable and can tolerate high heat, including open flames. It is extremely heavy, though, so it will need a strong foundation or cabinet to support the weight of the tabletop.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_f74ed454-f1c1-4d09-8aef-03233a502e2e_GettyImages-1389784452-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1458\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:1200px;height:675px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_f74ed454-f1c1-4d09-8aef-03233a502e2e_GettyImages-1389784452-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_f74ed454-f1c1-4d09-8aef-03233a502e2e_GettyImages-1389784452-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_f74ed454-f1c1-4d09-8aef-03233a502e2e_GettyImages-1389784452-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_f74ed454-f1c1-4d09-8aef-03233a502e2e_GettyImages-1389784452-585x329.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/size_f74ed454-f1c1-4d09-8aef-03233a502e2e_GettyImages-1389784452.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Epoxy resin scientific laboratory countertop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>High-Pressure Laminate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>High-pressure laminate (HPL) countertops are crafted by combining wood fiber, phenolic resin, and melamine under high heat and pressure. The process results in an affordable, versatile general-purpose material suitable for chemical-free and dry lab facilities, such as computational, engineering, and applied physics laboratories. While HPL countertops are impact and scratch resistant and require minimal maintenance, they have some drawbacks. HPL surfaces offer low resistance to bacteria, chemicals, corrosive materials, fungi, water, moisture, and scratches.

To achieve \u201cstainless steel,\u201d chromium and other alloys are added to low-iron steel to create a stain-resistant anti-corrosive material. Stainless steel science tables can endure significant wear and tear and offer exceptional heat resistance. Stainless steel tables and workbenches make it easy to maintain a sterile environment with minimal dirt, dust, and contamination. While stainless steel meets many scientific laboratory requirements, it can dent or scratch over time.
