FAQs

When would a tempered glass work surface be preferred in a laboratory workstation?

A tempered glass surface is often chosen when a smooth, easy-to-clean work area is important for maintaining a controlled workspace. The non-porous glass surface simplifies routine cleaning and supports laboratories where visual clarity in the work area and consistent surface conditions are beneficial during daily procedures.

What are the advantages of a frosted glass surface compared with a fully transparent one?

A frosted glass surface reduces glare and reflections from lighting above the workstation while still providing a bright, visible working area. This can make it easier for operators to clearly see tools, samples, or materials on the surface without excessive reflections interfering with visibility during laboratory tasks.

Is this work surface compatible with multiple Captair workstation types?

Yes, the work surface is designed to fit Captair 391 configurations and can be used with compatible ductless filtering fume hoods, laminar flow hoods, and PCR workstations within that series. Matching the work surface to the system helps ensure proper fit and stable positioning inside the equipment enclosure.

What types of laboratory procedures typically use this type of surface?

Tempered glass work surfaces are commonly used for sample preparation, equipment staging, and general laboratory handling tasks performed inside fume hoods or clean airflow environments. The stable, defined work area supports organized workflows and consistent placement of containers and instruments.

How should a tempered glass work surface be maintained for long-term use?

Routine cleaning with non-abrasive laboratory cleaning solutions helps maintain the clarity and condition of the glass surface. Abrasive pads or harsh tools should be avoided to prevent surface damage. Periodically checking the mounting screws also helps ensure the work surface remains securely installed during daily use.
