Introducing The Brightedge^TM LED Light, an intelligent task light system for laboratories!

This one of a kind product is available only through New England Lab. For 25 years our philosophy has been to bring the right solutions to our clients. When forward thinking architects at Payette Associates approached us for a shelf mounted LED task light solution that was smart enough to turn off its own motion sensor, we found there was nothing available on the market. That’s when New England Lab’s design team took over to create an intelligent, energy saving, adaptable, and bright task light solution.

The nutshell: If you don’t have time to read all the details, this is what you need to know. This is a very bright task light designed to be mounted to the entire front edge of a single upper

Over the past 25 years, New England Lab has sought to foresee and adapt to industry changes to continually service customers’ fluctuating needs. In an effort to meet the growing demand of fast-paced projects and quick replacement parts, New England Lab developed NEL Direct.

In 2010, New England Lab created NEL Direct, a rapid ship program that stocks a variety of the most common laboratory and industrial furniture and accessories. Their goal is to have what you need and deliver it quickly, consistently, and with attention to detail. That’s why the motto is “Where Quality Products and Exceptional Service

Have you ever had a meeting in “Innovation” or “Optimization”? With these values incorporated throughout our buildings, New England Lab, our clients, and our partners will soon be familiar with planning and collaborating in conference rooms with these types of names. What’s our reasoning for labeling spaces with these seemingly abstract concepts? Our aim is to further integrate our corporate values and make them a reality for all who interact with New England Lab.

Introducing the Observation2™ Student Fume Hood!

Mott Manufacturing, one of the leading fume hood manufacturers in North America, has announced that it has recently given the Observation^TM fume hood a complete overhaul. The new hood, now dubbed the Observation 2^TM features a more modern look but more importantly can now be pre-plumbed and pre-wired at the factory. Without needing to connect service valves into base cabinets onsite, the new 3” wide hood post can accommodate up to 4 front-loaded plumbing fixtures and a duplex receptacle per hood side post. (If you are doing the math in your head that’s 16 plumbing services on a double sided hood, but this real estate can also be used for electrical fixtures instead if needed)

Vacuum Pump Cabinet
Design Considerations

Vacuum pumps suck, and that suction power can produce significant heat! When a pump is trapped in an enclosed and acoustically-insulated vacuum pump cabinet, the air temperature can quickly rise beyond the operating range of the pump. This common oversight can be quite frustrating upon completion of the lab project. The users move in and their vacuum pumps immediately begin to overheat. To protect the pumps, they leave the pump cabinet doors open, or the pumps are pulled out and put on the floor until the problem can be resolved.

How can we avoid this? Vacuum pump cabinets are designed for basic smaller pumps but can be configured for larger pumps or even multiple smaller pump units. A bit of simple design preplanning on vacuum pump cabinets is essential to a successful project. And it’s not just the heat output that is important; it’s the noise level, the weight
