Lab Base Cabinets — Under-Counter Storage for Every Laboratory
Base cabinets are the workhorses of laboratory casework. They sit under countertops, support heavy instruments, house plumbing and gas connections, and provide the organized storage that keeps labs functional. Labs USA supplies base cabinets in steel, stainless steel, wood, and phenolic — with door, drawer, combination, and specialty configurations for every application.
Standard widths range from 18″ to 48″, with 22″ and 25″ depths. Every base cabinet includes adjustable leveling legs, reinforced structural supports, and hardware rated to 150,000+ cycles. Choose from single-door, double-door, drawer banks, combination (door + drawers), sink base, acid storage, flammable storage, and ADA knee-space configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard height for lab base cabinets?
Standard lab base cabinet height is 35″ — designed to create a 36″ countertop height when paired with a standard 1″ thick work surface. ADA-compliant configurations use 28″–34″ adjustable height. Sit-down workstation bases are typically 28″–30″ high.
Can base cabinets support heavy instruments?
Yes. Lab base cabinets are engineered for 50–100+ lbs per linear foot of static load. For particularly heavy instruments (analytical balances, centrifuges, autoclaves), specify reinforced shelving and vibration-dampening feet. Labs USA can recommend specific configurations for your instrument list.
What’s the difference between 22″ and 25″ depth base cabinets?
22″ deep cabinets are standard for wall-mounted (island-less) lab configurations and pair with 24″ deep countertops. 25″ deep cabinets pair with 30″ deep countertops used on center islands and deeper bench runs. Choose based on your countertop depth and workspace requirements.
