Laboratory Equipment FAQ
What materials are suitable for lab equipment parts?
Aluminium 6061-T6 is ideal for structural and non-contact parts due to excellent machinability and light weight. 316L stainless steel is used for corrosion-resistant applications and parts exposed to chemicals or moisture. PEEK is used for high-temperature applications and where chemical resistance is critical. Brass and titanium are used for specialised applications.
Can you manufacture parts for high-temperature applications?
Yes. PEEK is rated to 260°C continuous use and is ideal for autoclave components and high-temperature lab equipment. Stainless steel 316L remains stable to 400°C+. We can source specialty alloys like Inconel for extreme temperature applications. Material selection is discussed during quoting.
What is the typical lead time for lab equipment parts?
Prototype lab equipment parts typically require 5–10 business days. Small batches (5–10 pieces) require 10–15 business days with reduced per-unit cost. Production runs reduce lead time per unit significantly. Rush services available.
Do you offer corrosion-resistant materials for chemical labs?
Yes. 316L stainless steel is standard for chemical lab environments. PEEK is highly resistant to most laboratory chemicals including strong acids, bases, and solvents. Titanium is used for extreme chemical resistance. Consult us on specific chemical exposure.
Can you manufacture precision parts for analytical instruments?
Yes. We manufacture precision components for analytical instruments including spectrometer parts, centrifuge rotors, and pipette calibration fixtures. Tolerances to ±0.01mm are routine. CMM inspection available.
Do you provide material certifications for lab applications?
Yes. Full material certifications (EN 10204 3.1) are provided with all lab equipment parts. Traceability documentation available for regulatory compliance. Material specs can be tailored to laboratory standards.
