Research and design - Laboratory equipment technology




In the field of medicine, chemistry or pharmacy, there are very special conditions and requirements at the workplace. When working in the laboratory, an extremely high standard in terms of safety, hygiene and cleanliness must be observed, so only work without complications can lead to first-class results. But how do you create such ideal laboratory conditions? This is a question that we ask ourselves very often when designing laboratory products: The answer: With suitable and adequate technology! In many cases, however, laboratory technology must be specially adapted to the needs and conditions in the specific field of activity. That's where we come in: Held+Team is your partner for laboratory technology design with many years of experience and the necessary know-how. Find out more about our work in laboratory technology design below and how you can benefit from our experience in the field of laboratory design.

Labortory technology design
– For precision and safety


The laboratory technology design consists of two components: laboratory technology and design. The laboratory technology design represents the process of conception and design of laboratory technology: Laboratory technology is understood to mean special pieces of equipment and special equipment for laboratory work. This includes special working and measuring devices, items for one-time use, but also much more. Laboratory technology product design or laboratory technology industrial design must take into account unique properties for each product. In the field of laboratory technology design, we pay particular attention to ergonomics and usability - to clear and user-friendly labeling and interface design, for a flawless and effective work and research process to be guaranteed.


We support you with the planning and conception of laboratory technology


As a partner for laboratory design, we support you and your company in the planning and conception of laboratory technology and in laboratory technology product design. The first step when working in the field of laboratory technology design is therefore a dialogical briefing between you, the client and us as laboratory technology designers. User observation and continuous comparison of solutions with user requirements result in the process with you in the end the better product - one that is formal how functionally convincing and thus convincing on the market.

The design will be transferred to the final product in the further course of the process with your development department. We are happy to support you with our expertise in casing development. Use our extensive experience in the design of medical and laboratory technology products to develop real innovations.


Laboratory technology in product design
– special requirements for exceptional results


The subsequent application context plays a decisive role in laboratory technology product design and laboratory technology industrial design. In order for the instruments created in the laboratory technology product design to fully meet their later application area, it is absolutely necessary to consider the requirements for them in advance to achieve the best possible result in the laboratory technology industrial design and to meet the needs of the users in the best possible way. For this purpose, we rely on close and regular communication as well as feedback loops with users of the instruments in all steps of the creation of the laboratory technology product design in order to record all relevant and special properties of the laboratory technology equipment to be developed. For example, measuring ranges, sensitivities, options for setting product properties that are influenced by the external conditions of the application can be adapted to your professional needs in such a way that the expectations of the instrument are met in the best possible way.

FAQ about Laboratory Technology Design


  • What is laboratory technology design?

    Laboratory technology design refers to the planning and development of laboratory facilities. In this context, equipment and working environments play an important role in creating optimal conditions for scientific experiments and research work.


  • Who is the best provider for laboratory technology design?

    To find the best provider, certain characteristics must be visible: efficiency, safety and user-friendliness. Held+Team understands that every laboratory has unique requirements. Therefore, we develop laboratory technology designs that are tailored to every individual’s environment. Our solutions are robust, ergonomic and compliant with all applicable standards. Thus, you can focus entirely on your work.


  • What are the key principles of laboratory technology design?

    The most important principles of laboratory technology design include:

    • Safety: Minimizing hazards must be the top priority when setting up a laboratory. This can be achieved through features such as emergency shut-off switches or gas detection sensors.
    • Functionality and Flexibility: A laboratory must be adaptable to changing requirements at any time, for example through modular furniture.
    • Ergonomics: Noise protection, adjustable working heights, and eye-friendly lighting are fundamental elements of the modern laboratory.
    • Cleanliness and Hygiene: Easy-to-clean designs and a well-planned waste management system are essential for every type of laboratory discipline.

  • What factors should be considered in laboratory design?

    The following factors should be considered when designing a laboratory:

    • Workspace and space requirements for equipment and staff,
    • Ventilation, air conditioning, and control of environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity,
    • Electrical requirements and equipment for the safe operation of devices,
    • Storage of chemicals and samples,
    • Lighting to ensure optimal visibility,
    • Safety measures such as emergency showers, eye wash stations, and fire protection systems

  • Does the color scheme play a role in laboratory technology design?

    Colors affect the mood, contrast and visibility of a room, which is why the color scheme is a key factor that must be considered in laboratory technology design. Bright and neutral colors can be used to create a pleasant working environment, enhancing the visibility of samples. Additionally, specific color codes can be used to mark hazard areas, emergency equipment, or different working zones.


  • Are there specific guidelines for laboratories?

    Specific guidelines for laboratories are developed by different organizations such the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The guidelines provide recommendations and regulation for laboratory design in order to ensure safety, health and efficiency of lab personnel.
