Why Choose R.C. Smith for Laboratory Casework Solutions?

In the world of laboratory operations, efficiency and safety aren’t just nice to have — they’re absolutely essential. Every bench, cabinet, and drawer must be designed with purpose, durability, and flexibility in mind. 

Whether it's a clinical diagnostics lab, a research institution, or a high-volume testing facility, laboratory casework systems play a vital role in how seamlessly a lab runs. 

But not all casework is created equal. 

At R.C. Smith, we understand that laboratories require more than generic cabinetry. Our laboratory casework solutions are meticulously engineered to support the precision, safety, and fast-paced environment labs demand. 

And with our focus on custom solutions, durable materials, and industry expertise, we offer more than just storage — we provide systems that improve productivity and enhance workflow from the start. 

Take a look at why laboratories across the country trust R.C. Smith for custom casework solutions that go far beyond standard.

We Offer Unique Features for Laboratory Spaces 

From the start, R.C. Smith designs with the laboratory environment in mind. 

That means casework systems aren’t only customized to the physical space — they’re tailored to how that space is actually used. 

Our casework include innovative design features such as: 

• Modular drawer and shelving configurations for flexible storage options 

• Chemical-resistant countertops and finishes suitable for harsh lab conditions 

• Ergonomically designed workstations that reduce strain during long hours of testing 

• Integrated utility access to seamlessly connect lab gases, plumbing, and power 

Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, R.C. Smith’s casework is built around your team’s workflow, ensuring that every cabinet and counter supports the specific functions of your lab.

We Priortize Durability for Lab Casework 

In laboratories, durability isn’t optional. 

Cabinets must hold up to repeated use, chemical exposure, temperature fluctuations, and regular cleanings with harsh disinfectants. At R.C. Smith, our casework systems are engineered to thrive under these conditions. 

We use high-performance materials — including stainless steel, phenolic resin, and powder-coated steel — that are specifically chosen for their resistance to chemicals, corrosion, and wear. Hinges, glides, and handles are selected with longevity in mind, minimizing the need for maintenance or replacement down the road. 

And because we manufacture our casework in-house, we ensure quality control at every stage, guaranteeing products that perform in the most demanding lab environments.

We Understand Laboratory Casework Needs Are Unique

At R.C. Smith, we understand the unique functionality needed in these environments. Unlike exam rooms or pharmacy areas, laboratories have highly specific needs based on the types of testing and analysis being performed. 

Labs require specialized casework that can support: 

• High-volume sample processing 

• Sterile work zones 

• Temperature-sensitive storage 

• Secure access to reagents and supplies 

• Integration with lab-specific equipment 

Our design process includes deep collaboration with lab managers and technicians to ensure every casework component serves a functional purpose and elevates the overall efficiency of the space.

Safety & Workflow Are Integrated in Every Lab Design 

Laboratories are complex ecosystems where safety and workflow must go hand in hand. A poorly laid-out space can increase the risk of contamination, accidents, or bottlenecks. 

That’s why R.C. Smith prioritizes both operational flow and safety compliance during the design process. Our casework doesn’t just support work — it supports safer work.

Our casework experts take all of the following design elements into account: 

• Clear separation of clean and contaminated areas 

• Easy-to-sanitize surfaces 

• Safe access to hazardous materials 

• Proper ventilation integration 

• Compliance with industry regulations like OSHA and CDC guidelines 

Options Are Available for Custom Laboratory Storage 

Storage needs vary widely from lab to lab, and R.C. Smith meets those needs with a broad array of custom storage configurations. 

From small sample drawers to large bulk storage cabinets, everything we build is based on your lab’s unique inventory and access requirements, including: 

• Wall-mounted cabinetry 

• Base cabinets with drawers or shelving 

• Lockable storage for controlled substances 

• Adjustable shelving for equipment or specimen trays 

• Mobile carts for easy equipment transport 

• Vertical lift systems for space efficiency 

With R.C. Smith, your storage works with your space — not against it.
