- [Custom laboratory cabinets - what possibilities does an individual design offer](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/custom-laboratory-cabinets-individual-design): (2026-09-25) When planning a modern laboratory, there is a growing trend to move away from ready-made solutions in favor of personalization. Custom laboratory cabinets allow for optimal use of space and strict adaptation to the specificity of research, guaranteeing the highest standards of safety and ergonomics.
- [Ventilated cabinets in the laboratory - when is it worth using them?](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/ventilated-cabinets-in-laboratory-when-to-use): (2026-09-24) Proper storage of chemical substances is the foundation of safety in every laboratory. Ventilated cabinets protect personnel from harmful vapors and minimize the risk of accidents. Find out when their use is necessary and how to choose equipment for the specific nature of research work.
- [How to choose the right laboratory cabinet for storing chemicals](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/how-to-choose-a-chemical-storage-laboratory-cabinet): (2026-09-23) Proper storage of chemicals is the foundation of safety in any laboratory. Choosing the right cabinet protects personnel, infrastructure, and ensures compliance with strict standards.
- [Acid and base cabinet - what features should it have?](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/acid-and-base-cabinet-requirements): (2026-09-10) Storing corrosive and toxic substances is one of the biggest organizational challenges in a modern chemical, industrial, or research laboratory. Concentrated acids and bases generate vapors capable of damaging the respiratory tracts of personnel, as well as expensive measuring equipment and installations located in the room. Therefore, safe storage of chemicals requires more than just a standard storage cabinet. What is needed is a solution designed with chemical resistance, tightness, and effective vapor extraction in mind.
- [Ventilated chemical cabinet - when is it needed?](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/ventilated-chemical-cabinet-when-is-it-needed): (2026-09-09) Safety at work in the laboratory starts at the equipment selection stage. Proper storage of reagents is not only about keeping shelves tidy, but above all about protecting the health of staff who have daily contact with volatile and irritating substances. Improper chemical storage conditions also harm the infrastructure. Corrosive vapors damage equipment and electrical installations. A ventilated chemical cabinet reduces this risk by combining the storage function with active vapor extraction outside the work zone.
- [Laboratory cabinet: how to interpret markings and choose a class](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/laboratory-cabinet-markings-fire-resistance-class): (2026-09-02) Choosing the appropriate fire resistance class for a laboratory cabinet is the foundation of fire safety. Proper interpretation of markings and building standards allows for effective protection of flammable substances and gains invaluable time for the safe evacuation of personnel in a situation of extreme danger.
- [When is a ventilated reagent cabinet necessary?](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/ventilated-reagent-cabinet-laboratory): (2026-09-01) A ventilated reagent cabinet effectively removes dangerous chemical vapors, preventing their escape into the research space and protecting the respiratory tracts of the personnel. The problem of vapor accumulation arises because many substances transition into the gas phase even from properly closed bottles. Every opening of a package intensifies this effect, and gases accumulate in an unventilated space.
- [Laboratory reagent cabinets - how to choose the design and safety features?](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/laboratory-reagent-cabinets-selection): (2026-08-20) A reagent cabinet is not an ordinary piece of furniture, but the first element of a laboratory's safety system. A poorly chosen design quickly makes itself known: through housing corrosion, leaks, the risk of uncontrolled chemical reactions, and remarks during health and safety inspections. The choice of a cabinet depends on five factors: the method of storing substances, material resistance, ventilation efficiency, leak protection, chemical segregation, and adapting the format to the laboratory.
- [Laboratory cabinets - how to properly plan the storage of reagents, glassware, and equipment?](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/laboratory-cabinets-how-to-plan-storage): (2026-08-14) A modern laboratory combines precision of analysis with strict occupational safety requirements. Proper storage of glassware and reagents determines efficiency and staff protection against hazardous substances. Therefore, properly planning furniture arrangements at an early design stage helps avoid costly changes in the future.
- [Gas Cylinder Cabinets for Technical Gases - Safety and Ventilation Requirements](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/gas-cylinder-cabinet-safety-ventilation-requirements): (2026-08-12) A gas cylinder cabinet protects laboratory personnel from fire and explosion by safely isolating pressurized cylinders containing technical gases. In this article, we explain the requirements set out in the EN 14470-2 standard, what the G90 fire resistance class means, and how to select the right ventilation and grounding for the cabinet.
- [Storage of hazardous substances in the laboratory](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/storage-of-hazardous-substances-in-the-laboratory): (2026-03-21) he storage of hazardous substances in the laboratory has a direct impact on the protection of the health of employees and the reduction of the risk of failures and accidents. Improper segregation of chemicals, lack of proper cabinets or negligence in the control of installations can lead to serious consequences - from dangerous chemical reactions to fire hazards. Check out what you need to pay special attention to to ensure compliance and a high level of security.
- [How to store chemical reagents properly in the laboratory?](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/how-to-store-chemical-reagents-properly-in-the-laboratory): (2026-03-12) Storing chemical reagents in the laboratory is not a matter of alphabetical order - safety is what matters here. Each substance should be segregated by hazard class, not by name. Proper safety cabinets, ventilation, temperature control and consideration of chemical compatibility are the foundations of work in any laboratory. By following these rules, the risk of accidents, fires and contact with toxic or corrosive substances is minimized.
- [SymLine - intelligent solvent disposal system](https://www.renggli.pl/en/blog/symline-intelligent-solvent-utilization-system): (2025-07-04) SymLine is a state-of-the-art, modular solvent disposal system that easily and safely connects multiple workstations - such as HPLC systems or fume cupboards - and centrally discharges liquid waste.
