Inventory the stored materials
List chemicals, gases, reagents, samples and supplies by room. Use current SDS information and expected maximum quantities.
Laboratory safety storage planning
Laboratory Safety Storage Planning
Build a room-by-room safety storage schedule before selecting cabinet models or requesting a project quotation.
Safatrix supports product selection and model-document requests for safety cabinets, corrosive cabinets, gas cylinder cabinets, reagent cabinets and laboratory fume hoods.

Planning workflow
Move from room inventory to model-level review
Do not begin with a cabinet count. First define what each room stores, how people use it and which building systems affect the equipment.
Group by storage condition
Separate flammable, corrosive, incompatible, compressed-gas and general room-temperature storage needs.
Assign cabinet locations
Check work flow, access, available footprint, door clearance, service routes and separation from conflicting activities.
Select models and documents
Compare internal layout and dimensions, then request drawings, specifications and project-required records for each model.
Laboratory types
Start with the work performed in each laboratory
Laboratory type provides context; the actual inventory and room conditions still determine the storage equipment.
Chemical industry laboratories
Separate flammable liquids, acids, alkalis, reagents and cylinder services before assigning cabinet locations.
Chemical laboratory storage →Biopharma laboratories
Distinguish general reagents and samples from materials that need controlled temperature, humidity or restricted access.
Research laboratory storage →Research and teaching laboratories
Coordinate shared-room access, changing chemical inventories, student use and storage points near preparation areas.
School laboratory storage →Environmental testing laboratories
Plan storage for acids, standards, extraction solvents, samples and gas cylinders used across different test methods.
Testing laboratory storage →Food testing laboratories
Separate routine reagents, solvents, samples and cleaning chemicals according to their actual hazards and storage conditions.
Testing laboratory storage →Third-party testing laboratories
Allow for multiple client methods, varied container sizes and a document trail that links each cabinet to the selected model.
Third-party testing storage →Room data
Information that changes the equipment schedule
Record the same fields for every room so products, quantities and document requests can be compared consistently.

Equipment coordination
Route each storage need to the correct product family
One laboratory may use several equipment families. Keep active work-area exhaust separate from closed storage, and verify every selected model independently.
01Flammable liquid storage
Packaged solvents and flammable liquids; check containers, capacity, doors and model documents.
View product route →02Acid and alkali storageCorrosive storage; check chemical compatibility, cabinet construction and separation.

Planning questions
Questions to resolve before the equipment schedule
Use the answers to prepare room data, product routes and model-document requests.
What does Safatrix laboratory planning support include?
Safatrix can help organize safety-storage requirements, compare product families, identify model information to request and prepare a cabinet quotation. Full laboratory engineering, construction and code approval are outside this scope unless separately confirmed.
What should be completed before selecting cabinet models?
Prepare the room list, stored-material inventory, current SDS, maximum quantities, largest containers, access needs and available installation dimensions.
Should one cabinet type be used throughout the laboratory?
Not automatically. Different rooms and materials can require different storage routes. Start with the inventory and hazard or storage condition for each room.
How are cabinet quantities estimated?
Use the expected maximum inventory, container dimensions, usable internal layout, separation plan and room distribution. A nominal gallon rating alone is not a cabinet-count calculation.
Can Safatrix prepare the final laboratory layout?
Safatrix can respond about listed products and available dimensions. Final room layout, egress, utilities, exhaust, code and engineering approval remain with the project team.
Which documents should be requested before purchase?
For each selected model, list the specification, external and internal dimensions, drawing, material information and any named project record required for review.
