Design Gallery

Design inspiration for laboratory benches that stay reproducible

Good laboratory design is measured by tip reach, pipette load, cold-chain paths, and the next auditor—not by catalog photography alone.

Design Gallery workshops list selection factors—volume band vs assay CV, rotor capacity vs courier surge, incubator recovery vs door-open frequency—and the limits of each choice before SKUs are frozen.

Three design cells

Shape the bench before you lock the SKU list

Each cell includes a hard limit so facilities and laboratory teams co-own the boundary, not only the aesthetic.

01

Ergonomic liquid handling

Place Research Plus and Xplorer stations so tip boxes, waste, and tubes minimize shoulder load across an eight-hour shift. Limit: ISO 8655 accuracy still depends on tip fit, liquid class, and operator technique—layout cannot compensate for an incompatible tip or skipped spot-checks.

02

Sample-prep zoning

Separate pre- and post-PCR benches, centrifuge noise/heat, and incubator door swing so recovery times stay measurable. Limit: a single shared pipette fleet across amplification zones is a contamination design failure, regardless of instrument brand.

03

Evidence-ready layout

Leave space for calibration certificates, UDI labels, and CMMS asset tags where technicians actually work. Limit: website metrics and Design Gallery percentages are planning gates, not product performance claims or contract SLAs.

Evidence anchors

Standards to verify by reference and market

Each mark is a document request, not a blanket assertion that every Eppendorf product follows the same pathway.
