Our products are long lasting and easy to clean through their intelligent design.
Laboratory environments
Hygienic stainless steel laboratory furniture built for accredited and regulated environments
Good laboratory practice compliant, chemical-resistant, UK manufactured. From single lab benches to complete laboratory fit-out for NHS, research, and industrial settings.
The challenge
Laboratory environments demand furniture that withstands chemical exposure, supports accreditation, and does not compromise your results
Good laboratory practice, ISO 17025 accreditation, and NHS procurement standards mean generic furniture creates compliance risk. Every surface must resist the chemicals you use, support your contamination control procedures, survive repeated cleaning and disinfection, and be specifiable to your exact workflow and room dimensions.

Why Teknomek
What makes us the right supplier for laboratory environments
We have supplied hygienic stainless steel furniture to NHS laboratories, research facilities, and industrial testing environments since 1987. That means we understand GLP documentation requirements, ISO 17025 audit expectations, and the operational demands of laboratory environments from direct experience.
UK manufactured since 1987
We manufacture in our own Norfolk facility, giving us full control over quality, lead times, and product consistency. When you need a replacement part, a second phase of furniture, or a bespoke item to match an existing installation, we still have the specification on file and the capability to deliver it.
Specification support available
Not sure whether your environment requires 304L or 316L? Not certain which configuration supports your hygiene flow? Our team works through the specification with you before you commit to an order — so what arrives on site is right first time, without the cost and delay of returns or replacements.
ISO 9001 quality management
Our manufacturing process is independently audited and certified to ISO 9001. That means documented quality procedures, consistent product standards, and a paper trail you can reference in your own supplier audit documentation, relevant if you supply into BRCGS-audited retail chains.
One supplier, complete solution
From preparation tables and wash stations to changing room lockers, hygiene stations, and waste handling equipment, Teknomek supplies everything your food production facility needs from a single source. One purchase order, one delivery schedule, one point of contact, and a consistent specification throughout the building.
Supplying accredited laboratories since 1987
We have supplied furniture to NHS pathology departments, university research laboratories, and industrial testing facilities operating under GLP and ISO 17025 for nearly four decades. We understand accreditation requirements, documentation expectations, and the operational demands of high-throughput laboratory environments
Bespoke sizing available
Food production facilities rarely have standard room dimensions. Where our standard range does not fit your space, we manufacture furniture to your exact dimensions and workflow requirements, at the same quality standard, from the same facility, with the same lead time commitment as our stock range.
Common questions about Teknomek and laboratory furniture
Everything you need to know before specifying stainless steel furniture for your laboratory.
What stainless steel furniture is required for a GLP-compliant laboratory?
Good laboratory practice requires laboratory furniture with smooth, cleanable surfaces, no crevices or harborage points, and resistance to the chemicals and cleaning agents used in your specific laboratory environment. Teknomek manufactures all furniture to these standards as a baseline, with 304L grade as standard and 316L available for environments with higher chemical exposure or more aggressive cleaning regimes.
Does Teknomek furniture meet ISO 17025 accreditation requirements?
Yes. Teknomek stainless steel laboratory furniture is specification-matched to the surface and equipment standards expected in ISO 17025 accredited testing and calibration laboratories. We can supply documentation to support your laboratory qualification and supplier approval process, contact our team at the point of enquiry to confirm what is available for your specific products.
What stainless steel grade should I specify for laboratory furniture?
304L is the standard specification for most laboratory environments and is suitable for general chemical resistance. 316L is recommended for laboratories where stronger acids, chloride-containing reagents, or aggressive cleaning chemicals are used regularly. Our team will confirm the correct grade for your specific chemical exposure profile before you order.
Does Teknomek supply NHS laboratory furniture?
Yes. Teknomek supplies stainless steel furniture to NHS laboratories, pathology departments, and public sector research facilities. Our products and processes are designed to support procurement requirements in publicly accountable healthcare environments, and we can provide the specification documentation required for NHS purchasing frameworks.
Can Teknomek manufacture bespoke laboratory furniture to non-standard dimensions?
Yes. Laboratory rooms rarely have standard dimensions. Where our standard range does not fit your space or workflow, Teknomek manufactures furniture to your exact room dimensions and bench layout requirements. Bespoke items are produced in our Norfolk facility to the same quality standards as our standard range, with the same grade options and finish specifications.
Is Teknomek furniture UK manufactured?
es. Teknomek has manufactured stainless steel furniture in our own Norfolk facility since 1987. UK manufacture gives us full control over quality, lead times, and product consistency, and means shorter supply chains, faster response to bespoke requirements, and documented traceability for customers who need to evidence procurement for audit and accreditation purposes.
What lead times should I expect for Teknomek laboratory furniture?
Standard range items are typically available on short lead times from stock or near-stock. Bespoke and made-to-measure items vary depending on specification and volume — our team will confirm lead time at the point of quotation. For complete laboratory fit-outs, we recommend contacting us early in the procurement process so we can schedule production to meet your project programme.
