Within the laboratory environment, excellence is simply the expected standard. Precision is essential. Work processes demand durable environments which support the pursuit of accuracy and perfection.

When asked what they expect from casework, people who work in laboratories universally list four attributes: durability, functionality, flexibility, and aesthetics. Since researchers work directly with and on the casework, durability is most often listed as the primary concern. TMI casework lasts, meeting or exceeding industry construction standards.

From heavy-duty five knuckle stainless steel or epoxy powder coated hinges to epoxy tops, we are responding by building casework which withstands the unique rigors of laboratory environments. Our surfaces are engineered to resist chemicals and moisture, and our doors and drawers are designed to open and close smoothly, even after years of continuous use.

Durability, however, is just the beginning. We also design laboratory environments to be highly functional. On one level this means effectively addressing logistical concerns such as the management of utilities, including water, gas and electrical runs. On another level, we seek to optimize harmony between the work environment and the human element. People who work in laboratories furnished with TMI casework find them to be efficient and comfortable.

Since rapidly changing technology continues to play an important role in laboratory activities, the ideal casework will offer the flexibility to accommodate new computers and instruments. By combining our fixed modular and flexible rail-mounted casework, TMI will help create environments which readily accommodate evolving needs.

A durable, functional, flexible laboratory can be highly attractive. Indeed, aesthetics are often pivotal in attracting and retaining high caliber research staff. By combining laminate colors, solid surfacing, and architectural woodwork, TMI can help create laboratories which appear impressive and exceptional. An example is the Schering-Plough facility, pictured above, which received a nomination for Lab of the Year by R&D Magazine.

Perhaps what makes TMI so increasingly popular among laboratory planners and designers is our ability to achieve all of these requirements while maintaining cost efficiency. Through our extensive experience in a variety of laboratory applications, we have been able to engineer durable, functional, flexible, attractive workspace and storage solutions which are also affordable.
