Laboratory seats
Specialist chairs are seats for ESD areas and cleanrooms. The upholstery, frame, castors and glides dissipate electrostatic charge, and the construction keeps particle emission low. The range includes Bimos ESD Neon chairs, each configured for a specific workstation.

One of the biggest dangers at electronic workstations is electrostatic discharge. This can lead to significant damage during production. Therefore, it is essential to constantly prevent the charging of objects or people at the ESD workstation and ensure the conduction of displaced charge. Bimos ESD chairs provide reliable protection in the ESD workplace: upholstery, steel elements, plastic, wheels, and sliders are conductive. Thanks to the comprehensive guidance of all components, Bimos ESD chairs are a reliable solution in any ESD space.
About the category
An antistatic chair only limits the build-up of charge on its own surface, whereas an ESD chair carries the charge away to earth. A dissipative element does this at a controlled rate. Workstations with electronics or flammable substances need a complete dissipation path: a conductive cover, frame, and castors or glides that connect the chair to earth.
No. The castors and glides are the final section of the path along which charge flows from the chair to earth. A standard castor is not conductive, so it breaks that path and cancels the protection of the whole chair, even though the cover and frame are still conductive. Replacement parts for an ESD chair must have the same conductive properties as the original components.
A cleanroom stool meets the same material requirements as a chair. It has no backrest, so it gives the operator more freedom of movement and makes it easier to get up frequently to reach the equipment. For microscopy or analytical work lasting several hours, a chair with a backrest is the better choice, because a stool does not relieve the lumbar spine. We describe the selection criteria in our article on when a stool is the better choice.
Choosing a cleanroom chair is a strategic decision that affects the quality of conducted processes. Even the smallest contaminants generated by equipment can ruin the efforts of the entire team. A proper seat guarantees the maintenance of ISO cleanliness classes and necessary antistatic protection.
The upholstery of a laboratory chair must be tight, seamless, and resistant to disinfection and contact with chemicals. Find out how integral polyurethane, synthetic leather, and technical fabric differ, and how to choose the material for your workstation.
A laboratory chair is a specialized laboratory seat designed to work in conditions that require prolonged sitting, high ergonomics and resistance to intensive use and contact with chemicals. Unlike standard furniture, it is an element of laboratory furniture that must meet strict health and safety standards and have appropriate certificates, including often the PZH certificate, guaranteeing safety of use in the research environment. In practice, laboratory chairs are designed to support proper posture and minimize the strain on the spine when working at a laboratory workstation.
Choosing between a laboratory stool and a laboratory chair depends on the specifics of the workstation and the duration of the procedures performed. A stool without a backrest optimizes short-term, rotational tasks up to three hours, while a chair protects the spine during many hours of work. As the furniture manufacturer Renggli, we design both types of seating with the highest hygienic and ergonomic requirements in mind.
