In 1899 Charles H. Duell, the Commissioner of the US Patent
Office declared that, “Everything that can be invented has
been invented.”
Sadly for Charles Duell, progress did not come to a grinding
halt in 1899 and man kind has made some remarkable strides
forward in the last 100 or so years. Currently it is generally
considered that the sum total of human knowledge doubles every 2
to 3 years (some estimates will put this figure as low as 18
months, whilst others will cite 5 years). Which ever figure is
correct, our knowledge of our universe continues to grow
exponentially.
At Novalab, we like to think we are a little more open minded
than Mr. Duell. We are constantly looking at options and new
products, testing materials and considering new design
initiatives. We want to play our part in this ever expanding
knowledge base by providing the best possible laboratory
environments and work spaces.
Or as another ex patent office clerk once put it, “Imagination
is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to
all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the
entire world, and all there ever will be to know and
understand.” Albert Einstein.

Novalab
BIO PRO for Microbiology Applications
Novalab introduce a new laboratory furniture range specifically
designed to meet the increasingly stringent needs of microbiology
laboratories constructed to PC2 and PC3 standards. Unlike other
laboratory furniture systems that merely try to cover up the cut
edges of timber products, Novalab BioPro completely removes the
problem by eliminating timber products from all the materials of
construction
BioPro offers and unbeatable combination of materials for
microbiology applications.
- World leading Trespa Toplab Plus bench tops. Universally recognized as the best compact laminate laboratory bench top available.
- Compact laminate cabinet construction. No exposed timer products, even in the carcass holes for adjustable shelves. No edge clashing to fall off or trap dirt and no environmentally unfriendly PVC.
- Option for the support steel in standard powder coated finish or anti-microbial BioPro finish.

INTRODUCING
New Fume Cupboard Range
Novalab are pleased to announce a new range of fixed fume cupboards.
Whilst some of the new features are in development and testing, most
are now incorporated and available in the new design. The full range
will be launched in early 2012, but the older range of fume
cupboards will be replaced as the new models and features become
available.
The base model fume cupboard features:
- 13 mm thick compact laminate construction. This makes the fume cupboard more robust, fire retardant, impact resistant, chemical and solvent resistant.
- Novalab control system. Well proven, robust and reliable.
- LCD readout
providing fume cupboard status.
-
Novalab Resistop or Trespa Toplab Plus work surface.
