A well-functioning laboratory is set up entirely on the basis of the most efficient workflow. Ease of use and safety in the laboratory are of course paramount. But speed in delivery is often also desirable in order to slow down existing research and development processes as little as possible. As well as flexibility in the structure of the furniture and good maintenance options to keep the equipment future-proof.
INTOS Lab Solutions is a certified knowledge partner and supplier in the field of laboratory furniture. We supply both laboratory furniture in standard and customised variants, including laboratory tables, cabinets, cleanroom cabinets, furniture and equipment from our own line from fume cupboards to equipment from other renowned brands. Besides supplier, we also fulfil the role of project manager and consultant , sustainable maintenance manager to main contractor for the complete turnkey delivery of laboratory environments. We supply these services and products quickly and flexibly to institutions in various sectors from the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries to educational and healthcare institutions and high-tech companies.
Complete laboratory furnishings from laboratory furniture to equipment
Every laboratory has its own processes to keep production or research running efficiently. Standard laboratory furniture for furnishing the laboratory usually provides a fine foundation, but never fully supports the workflow unique in each lab.
INTOS therefore produces custom-made laboratory furniture in addition to a standard range. From laboratory tables to rinse cabinets, cleanroom furniture and fume cupboards. To deliver the laboratory completely, in cooperation with high-quality partners, we offer fixed laboratory equipment such as safety workbenches and safety cabinets, including laf cabinets, biosafety cabinets, chemical cabinets and fume cupboards. We also install these. This way, we ensure that laboratory staff can do their work in the best possible way!
From questions to answers in building or remodelling a lab
In the successful development of a new laboratory to be built or remodelled, it is necessary to immediately make the wishes and needs concrete. First of all, it must be clear how the work processes are designed. To then zoom in in more detail on the existing construction and installation possibilities, degree of accessibility of facilities, future expansion possibilities, but also desired appearance, cleanability and sustainability, among others. The available budget and any deadlines in the (re)construction project are also important to fine-tune. All choices made for the layout and associated equipment must be tested against the safety requirements, which are always the ultimate guiding principles.
In construction and remodelling projects for a laboratory, INTOS Lab Solutions fulfils the role of project leader and consultant. A role which we fulfil in all our projects, but which becomes increasingly important to the extent that a laboratory building project is realised with a compact team and limited financial resources are available, as in the case of start-ups and scale-ups. Thus, where necessary, we help think about the suitable location and possibilities, draw up a clear Programme of Requirements, make a design sketch with 3D visualisation, communicate clearly about the planning and other matters and coordinate the cooperation with other parties.
Single point of contact in laboratory construction and installation projects
A single point of contact in laboratory construction and refurbishment projects is nice. Both for end users and for project management agencies and lab consultants. From concept development, production and installation to delivery and validation. We are experienced in fulfilling the role of main contractor.
As a main contractor, we are regularly responsible for large turnkey laboratory projects to smaller installation works, also from other suppliers. In this, we bear responsibility for the entire project, including constructional - and directive-specific installation work, coordination of subcontractors and management deliveries. We always work from an efficient schedule, about which we communicate clearly, and ensure tight budget control. In this way, we guarantee the high quality standard we continuously strive for, also within the laboratories to be delivered.
Ideas are sometimes difficult to visualise. Also for furnishing a laboratory. That is why INTOS has the Lab Solutions web shop, which allows you to compose your own laboratory completely by yourself. This provides better insight into your own wishes and needs, and into the possibilities INTOS offers in this respect. This ultimately creates an overall picture of the desired lab.
To complement our laboratory furniture, we also provide the corresponding media options. From electricity to gas installations, everything is integrated into our media bridges, gutters, pillars and ceiling columns.
"We experienced INTOS as a true partner in our plan to arrive at these labs. Granting this assignment to INTOS without the intervention of a project agency also meant that the contact was very direct. In this, the advice they gave was immensely valuable and showed incredible expertise in laboratory design. That custom furnishing was also possible for a scale-up like ours is thanks to INTOS' flexible attitude and their insight into cost-saving elaborations and details. We are extremely happy with our labs in which everyone now works very comfortably."

Laboratory furniture and laboratory equipment is constructed of robust materials with a long life of use and durability. However, daily use can leave marks that are disruptive or even limit the workflow and optimal functioning of employees within the laboratory.
With the Green Lab Service, INTOS provides repair, dismantling, renovation, relocation, moving and maintenance of existing laboratory equipment regardless of the original supplier. When moving and relocating laboratory equipment such as fume cupboards and laf cabinets, we also take care of the associated commissioning and validation. The Green Lab Service provides our clients with significant cost savings compared to purchasing new laboratory equipment. It also naturally contributes to sustainable, circular and ecological objectives.
