From Dry Lab to Wet Lab: Types of Laboratories and How GD Waldner Designs for Each

From Dry Lab to Wet Lab: Types of Laboratories and How GD Waldner Designs for Each

Laboratories vary widely—from data-driven dry labs to chemistry-intensive wet labs—and each demands specific planning. Here’s how GD Waldner customizes laboratory planning and design across these diverse environments. laboratory fume hood

Types of Laboratories: Dry Lab vs Wet Lab

• Dry Lab: Focuses on computational tasks, simulations, and electronics. Needs robust benches, desktop modules, and high-efficiency power/data outlets.

• Wet Lab: Centers on chemical or biological experiments involving liquids. Requires sinks, chemical-resistant benches, fume hoods, and specialist waste disposal.

Laboratory Furniture Manufacturers for All Applications

As leading lab furniture manufacturers, GD Waldner delivers modular, SEFA-certified solutions—benches, cabinets, sinks, service modules, chemical storage cabinets—crafted in metal or laminate to suit diverse use cases. Mobile, suspended, and sliding variants support both dry and wet workflows effectively. lab furniture manufacturers

Tailoring Design: Wet Lab Essentials

Wet labs benefit from:

• Fume Hoods to manage toxic fumes—SI 3 and Secuflow systems ensure safety and energy savings.

• Chemical Storage and Waste Systems engineered for acid, alkali, and flammable liquids, including safety funnels in worktops.

• Service Modules (spines, booms, columns) that bring utilities right to the workspace—promoting ergonomics and open lab spaces. turnkey laboratory

Tailoring Design: Dry Lab Essentials

Dry labs emphasize:

• Mobile Lab Solutions offering flexible, self-contained modules with only power and water needed—ideal for computational or electronics applications.

• Balance Tables for precision tasks—vibration-damped surfaces ensure accurate data collectio.

• Flexible Benches (H-frame, C-frame, mobile) enabling quick layout reconfiguration.

Holistic Turnkey Planning for All Lab Types

GD Waldner’s turnkey approach—covering laboratory planning and design—including MEP, furniture, safety systems, and integration with Building Management Systems—ensures reliable execution whether it’s for wet or dry labs.
