— LABORATORY WORKSTATIONS
Lab workstations built around
the way your team works.
Testing at the wrong height, hunting for samples, working around instruments that don’t fit the bench: small frictions slow down research.
Our height-adjustable benches, chemical-resistant surfaces, and modular accessories let you configure a lab workstation that fits your team’s daily work.

— CUSTOM WORKSTATIONS
Tell us what your lab needs.
We can build it.
We design and assemble in-house in Midland, Michigan, so the bench that arrives matches your drawings exactly. Start with a conversation about what your team needs to do, and our engineers handle the rest. Real examples below.
— LAB ACCESSORIES
Lab accessories that
make the bench yours.
BOSTONtec builds components specifically for the lab. Shelving, storage, power, and computer mounts keep samples, instruments, and screens where the researcher works, without crowding the bench top.
Chemical-Resistant Work Surfaces
Phenolic resin, stainless steel, ESD, and epoxy options for controlled environments.
Articulating Monitor & Keyboard Arms
Position screens and keyboards at working height, then swing them out of the way.
Power Manifolds
Easily mounts to laboratory uprights without tools for convenient access to power.
Shelves & Drawers
Storage at the station, so the work surface stays clear.

— CUSTOMER STORY
“A wonderful company to do business with, and to work for.”
When Aptar’s existing electric workstations failed and replacement parts were no longer available, Claire reached out to BOSTONtec. After meeting with the sales and engineering teams for a custom build, the first station shipped in December. Three more are now in production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What makes a workstation “lab-ready”?
Lab environments need adjustable ergonomics, chemical-appropriate surfaces, and modular accessories that place tools and samples in ideal reach zones.
Which work surface should we choose for lab use?
Match the top to your processes: phenolic resin for chemical/heat resistance, stainless steel for cleanability and solvents, and premium laminate for general tasks. View lab work surfaces here.
Do you offer height-adjustable lab benches, and when should we choose electric vs. manual?
Yes. Choose electric for multi-user labs or frequent sit-stand changes; manual fits single-user stations with infrequent adjustments (less than twice a year).
Are BOSTONtec lab benches ADA-friendly?
The electric lab base frame includes programmable height control and is designed to support ADA considerations when planned with appropriate clearances and accessories.
Can these benches be used in cleanrooms or ESD-sensitive areas?
Yes. Pair cleanroom-appropriate laminate/stainless worksurface options with sealed edges for controlled environments, and specify ESD-safe surfaces and grounding where electronics are handled.
Mobile or fixed - what’s best in a lab?
Use leveler feet for stability on stationary benches; choose locking or leveling casters to reconfigure rooms or share equipment. View lab specific options here.
What accessories are most helpful in labs?
Lab-specific shelving, under-worksurface drawers, gas and power manifolds, power/lighting, and computer accessories configured by reach frequency improve throughput and comfort. See lab accessories here.
What capacities are available for lab frames?
Electric height-adjustable frames come in 600-lb (PBM/PBMC) and 1,200-lb (PBH/PBHC) capacities; four-post stations offer 1,000-lb capacity with levelers or casters. Choose based on the heaviest loads across work surface, fixtures, and accessories.
How should we plan a lab workstation layout?
Define tasks first, then size the frame and surface, and place accessories by frequency and sequence of use to keep work in neutral postures. View our Workstation Planning Guide.
Can we configure before we buy—and are fast-ship options available?
Absolutely. Use our 3D Workstation Builder to choose frames, surfaces, feet/casters, and accessories, then request a quote or consult with us.
What’s recommended for cleaning and long-term care?
Clean surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh solvents or scouring pads. For stainless steel, use a stainless-specific cleaner and wipe with the grain. Periodically check grounding points, casters, and hardware for proper function. See full BOSTONtec Care and Maintenance guidelines for details
