 Laboratory Sheet is a high-quality protective mat made from durable silicon or natural rubber, designed to prevent direct contact between glassware and hard bench surfaces. It acts as a shock-absorbing, anti-slip layer that reduces breakage risks and enhances bench safety in laboratory workflows. Ideal for research, industrial, and academic environments, it ensures a clean, stable, and damage-free working surface.

 Key Features

• Non-slip, cushioned surface that stabilises glassware and sensitive instruments.
• Excellent shock absorption, reducing breakage and preventing bench damage.
• Chemical-resistant and heat-resistant material suitable for demanding lab conditions.
• Flexible and easy to handle, it can be rolled or laid flat without deformation.
• Long-lasting durability, designed to withstand daily use in rigorous lab environments.
• Easy to clean, supporting hygienic laboratory operations.
• Available in silicone or natural rubber, based on application needs.

Material Specifications

• Accessories: Supplied as a single protective sheet; no additional accessories required.

Handling & Precautions

• Safe Usage: Ensure the sheet is placed on a clean, flat surface before use.
• Cleaning: Wash with mild detergent; rinse thoroughly and air-dry.
• Autoclaving: Silicone sheets may tolerate limited autoclave cycles; natural rubber is not recommended for autoclaving.
• Heat Limits: Avoid direct flame or high-temperature equipment contact.
• Dos  Store rolled or flat in a cool, dry place. Replace if cracks or hardening appear.
• Do not expose to strong oxidising agents or prolonged UV light. Do not use with extreme temperatures beyond the material’s capability.

 Applications

• Analytical, research, and academic laboratories for bench protection.
• Pharmaceutical QC/QA units to safely handle glass measuring devices.
• Chemical and industrial labs for spill-resistant working surfaces.
• Biotech & life science facilities for routine handling of glassware and instruments.
• Educational institutions, teaching labs, and training centres.
• General industry for cushioning delicate components during handling.

The MEDILAB Laboratory Sheet is an essential tool for maintaining safety, stability, and longevity of laboratory glassware while ensuring a neat and damage-free working environment.
