Working Labs

Compliance

• Worker Safety - Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
• Fire Safety - National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 33, 58 and 70
• Electricals - National Electrical Code (NEC)
• Additional - Supplemental State and Municipal requirements

*Note: Your facility may be subject to locally amended (sometimes more restrictive) code requirements. Check with your prevailing Environmental, Fire, and Safety regulatory agencies before you place your order. If modifications are required, we will engineer them directly into your build!

Construction

• Materials - PodTronix Working Lab pods are built from durable steel high-cube ISO 'Wind and Water Tight' shipping containers
• Internal Flooring - We only use high-quality Armstrong Linoleum, made for constant use and heavy foot traffic, with a long-lasting finish that is easy to clean. This helps reduce the possibility of contamination from mold, spores, fungi, and bacteria
• Internal Finishing - Inside walls are coated with a bright white high gloss anti-microbial industrial paint to promote a more hygienic lab environment
• Optional Clean Room Finish - Using optional FRP gloss white panels with an R13 insulation rating, we create a laboratory clean room fit and finish
• Electricals - All electrical components, lighting, and controls are designed to meet safety code requirements

Operation

• Overhead LED Task Lighting - Energy efficient and long lasting LED overhead task lighting
• Electrical System - Full standard 120v 6Hz electrical runs with a generous amount of outlets
• Control Panel - Custom configured to exceed your needs and scalable for future growth

We install high quality Armstrong® linoleum flooring, famous for it’s tough and long lasting surface properties. Made for industrial use and heavy foot traffic, it's long lasting finish is easy to clean, which will help reduce the possibility of contamination due to fungi, spores, or mold. You can choose from a wide selection of patterns (we are partial to the ‘Classic Checker’ pattern. You may have noticed…) and finish types.

How the internal walls are finished is more important than most people realize! We finish internal walls with an industrial strength bright white high gloss paint, but the critical feature of this paint is that it has anti-microbial properties. We also offer an option to finish interior walls with FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic). FRP is ideal for highly sanitized environments. This foam core material is moisture resistant, exhibits high thermal efficiency, and holds up to regular cleaning and sanitization procedures. These options are critical deterrents to fungi, mold, bacteria, spores, and rust which promotes a cleaner, more hygienic environment. This really matters in a laboratory setting.

We provide LED Task lighting, which is quickly becoming the industrial lighting standard, replacing fluorescent bulbs. LED exhibits a dramatically longer service life, provides a cleaner, brighter light, and uses less electricity.

All of our 'Open-Type' environments have full standard electrical runs installed throughout the unit to ensure you have the power you need to run all of your critical components without worry. Custom electrical configurations to meet your requirements can also be engineered and built into your order.

We provide multiple vectors and levels of security features, such as the Trilogy T2 DL2700 digital commercial keyless door latch, and the ‘RING’ video surveillance door bell. Other options and upgrades include windows with locking ‘Hurricane’ steel covers, internal security gates to sequester and secure inventory, and more. If you have a 3rd party security solution you prefer, we will incorporate that into your build.
