Storage Cabinets — Expert Answer
What storage cabinets are appropriate for office-adjacent laboratory spaces?
Office-adjacent laboratory storage cabinets should match the chemical resistance requirements of the materials stored. For general lab supply storage (glassware, basic reagents, lab notebooks), standard steel powder-coat cabinets are adequate. For acidic or alkaline reagents, epoxy-coated steel or phenolic-interior cabinets are required (standard powder coat corrodes quickly with acid vapors). For solvents and flammable liquids, FM-approved flammable storage cabinets are legally required per OSHA 1910.106. For laboratory offices where only non-hazardous materials are stored, standard commercial storage cabinets are fully appropriate.
