The Importance of Lab Equipment Configurability

Many pieces of microbiology equipment are so common scientists often consider these tools as everyday commodities. The expanding market for biosafety cabinets, CO2 incubators, or ultralow temperature freezers is becoming saturated by large manufacturers with cookie-cutter solutions. While the low upfront cost may seem tempting, their designs simply target the lowest common denominator. Though equipped with the most common features, these pieces may not suit your specific needs—this compromise forces your team to adjust their work procedures to the equipment. Consider purchasing your cell culture equipment from a manufacturer that offers a wide range of configurability options to ensure the new system accommodates your current processes and enhances workflow.
