Tables High, Tables Low, Tables Go With The Flow

Remember.....
There once was scientist named Mable,
Who needed a laboratory table.
Looped Logic was there,
with a table so fair,
that Mable starred in her own fable.
I know, lame....but hey, we do have great tables!!
All hands on Deck for Deck Mounted Shelving
Have you ever wanted to expand your lab storage solutions but did not know where to go? Is counter space in your lab at a premium? Have you ever wondered if there is life on other planets....and if they too have storage space problems in their labs??? Well I can help you answer the first two questions and I'll leave the third one to for future entries.
Looped Logic came up with a great lab storage solution for overhead storage on lab benches. Our Deck Mounted Shelving System is simple (a given for Looped Logic....) and inexpensive. Almost anyone can install it on existing lab casework. The shelves will hold up to 150lbs each (that's a lot of stuff) and can be moved up and down in 1" increments. The system stands 4' tall and can accommodate up to 4 shelves on each side. It's perfect for island and peninsula laboratory bench situations.
Give us a call to inquire about the Deck Mounted Shelving System and all of Looped Logic's lab furniture solutions. Or just give us call to discuss whatever you want....we are good listeners.
The economy is coming back!!
We really want your business and will go out of the way to make sure you get what you want at the price you want it at (we really need to put food on the table and shoes on our kids' feet...or grand kids' feet in my case).
Give us call, send an email with your drawing, fax us, text us or have the pony express stop by, it doesn't matter, but I guarantee you won't be disappointed.Looped Logic, Southwest Airlines, Sam's Club

common? All of them provide exceptional products at exceptional prices with exceptional customer service. Quick ship laboratory furniture is not commonplace in the laboratory casework market. Science lab furniture is normally a 12 week lead time item and the pricing is hard to identify. Lab benches and fume hoods should and are available with immediate delivery schedules, at pricing that won't bust your budget. Look for companies who aren't afraid to publish their prices on line and ones that keep product in inventory for immediate shipment.
At Looped Logic, we fly on Southwest Airlines and shop at Sam's Club because we feel at home with good customer service and value oriented pricing. Next time you need laboratory cabinets and casework, give us a try....I think you'll like the experience.
2010 and the lab furniture market
As 2010 begins, the future is about as clear as muddy water in a storm swollen river. If 2010 begins as 2009 did, we are in for a roller coaster ride. If you are thinking about laboratory furniture, laboratory tables, laboratory benches or used laboratory equipment, your plans will probably be fast to develop and you will want to complete the project as quickly as possible, before the budget disappears.
Keep your plans simple. Laboratory design can be accomplished with a few, very functional cabinets and your lab workstations can be completed within budget and on time. Quick ship lab furniture is available from Looped Logic and is shipped within 48 hours of order receipt. We can customize your work surfaces and have everything in your hands within 10 working days. We will help you with your lab design and make sure your needs are met.
Call us, email us, fax us, text us, it doesn't matter how you get us, but make sure you consider Looped Logic for your lab casework needs.
Laboratory Fume Hoods - How fast can I get them
Fume Hoods are available in about the same time as your lab workstations are. A few days to a week if you find the right supplier (could Looped Logic be the right supplier....note to self, check them out). 
If your laboratory design includes multiple fume hood installations, like a chemistry building for a major university or something, figure months not weeks. But for the small lab that just needs a few science tables and a fume hood, you can get them quickly from companies like Looped Logic who stock a few lab hoods for immediate shipment. Used laboratory equipment does not generally include fume hoods. Unless you move directly in to a facility that has used fume hoods, they are generally not available and need a lot of clean up if you find them.
Here's a true story I like to tell about fume hoods. My 3 sons all went to the same high school (Yes, "My 3 Sons" was a TV show in the 1960's but most of you are too young to remember) and in 1996, when the school was built, 16 gorgeous fume hoods were installed in the labs. After 2 years, I went to one of my son's parent teacher conferences and the fume hoods were filled with boxes of supplies and equipment. I asked the teacher if the students ever used the fume hoods and she said "it was against district policy to use anything dangerous enough to use in a fume hood". A lot of tax money was spent on very expensive lab storage. Point is....make sure you need a fume hood before you invest in one.
Can you get laboratory casework by the end of the year?
Lab furniture can still be delivered by the end of 2009 if you are willing to be flexible in the cabinet configurations you look for and are willing to accept the color that a manufacturer / distributor has in stock. You probably won't find wood lab furniture or plastic laminate lab furniture in stock, only painted steel lab furniture. Check out Looped Logic's available styles at their website. We can ship the cabinets within 48 hours of getting your order. Unless you want a whole truck load, that might take us an extra day to load but you will get it by the end of the year.
How do you design your lab for function...and keep it inexpensive
Back to the inexpensive and functional issue. Science tables can be the most inexpensive way to set up a lab.
You can move them in the future to rearrange the lab and you can add cabinets under them for storage of laboratory equipment as the budget allows. You can make them mobile on wheels, adjust the height up or down in case you are like the Shaq and need a tall table. I don't recommend used tables because frankly....I want to sell you ours. Let us help you design your layout and you will be happy you did.
Project drawings of all kinds can work for quoting
We get everything from stick people and squiggly lines that look like modern art all the way to intricate Autocad drawings that my computer can't even open and read. But you know what, they all work and we are able to layout labs from any kind of plan we get. People ask for wood lab furniture, plastic laminate lab furniture, used lab furniture, everything but steel lab furniture. Once I design their lab storage needs with Looped Logic steel lab furniture, they almost always see the light and realized that steel science lab furniture really does work better in an a work environment.
And if they don't see the light, either they are working in the dark (which some companies like to keep us, I've worked for a few), or they wear sunglasses indoors like Jack Nicholson...never could figure out why he did that, I guess I'm not cool like Jack. If he was a scientist, he would probably want a lab cart made from cardboard or something, certainly not Looped Logic steel lab furniture.....now that's cool.
Why the KISS principle works with lab furniture
Keep it simple. Complexity only adds....well....complexity to your life. And isn't your life already complex enough without your laboratory casework adding more complexity? That's what I thought, then alright, enough with the complexity issue....lets talk about used lab equipment and in particular, used laboratory furniture. When you're buying a used lab cabinet, are you settling for something that might fit your need but not really what you want? Will your lab look used as soon as you move in? Wouldn't you really rather have new lab casework but you don't think your budget will stretch that far. That's where the KISS principle comes in.
Keep your laboratory design and lab workstations simple and your budget will stretch farther than you thought it could. You don't need to incorporate things like plastic laminate lab furniture and used lab tables to get what you want.
Come to Looped Logic, we live by the KISS principle.
Don't you just love satisfied customers
Satisfied customers with Looped Logic lab cabinets make my day. I mean, there is nothing more fulfilling than getting an unsolicited letter from a customer who was going to buy used lab furniture but purchased new Looped Logic lab benches instead. Comments like, "I just wanted to write to you to thank you for your help in our laboratory design. It came out great. We are extremely happy with the quality of the lab cabinets". Oh, and here's a good one, "Extremely strong construction, Much more reasonably priced, Looks very good after installation". Looped Logic quick ship laboratory furniture, laboratory tables and fume hoods always seems to elicit good responses from our customers. Some even send pictures!!
Like I said, it really makes my day.Cost to remodel your lab
A popular lab design magazine recently published a story about laboratory refurbishing and quoted costs of $800-$900/linear foot for installed lab casework to refurbish a small lab. Excluding installation, an average project at Looped Logic runs about $200/linear foot, including freight! There are many variables and we can help you layout your lab in a functional, economical fashion. Quick ship steel lab furniture from Looped Logic can save you money and time.
What color do I want my laboratory furniture to be

When it comes to color in your surroundings, ask my wife, there is not a white wall in our house! When considering color for your laboratory furniture, consider this....it's a lot easier to change color of the walls than it is to change the color of your lab casework. If you get blue, brown or green lab casework, it will be that for eternity. Remember those harvest orange and avocado refrigerators of the 1970's (giving up my age here...)?...well there is still some used laboratory equipment available in those colors.
So when it comes to color in your lab design , keep it simple, color the walls, not the lab furniture.
Why buy used lab furniture when you can have new
Used lab furniture is just that....used. Used for what, used for how long, used by who? Lots of questions and no answers. Lab furniture should not be that difficult. And shouldn't you be able to buy a lab table from the same place as you buy laboratory furniture? Of course you should.
That's why people looking for used laboratory furniture have been checking out the lab benches, science tables and lab cabinets at Looped Logic. We supply good quality, powder epoxy-coated laboratory casework at about the same price you can get a used lab cabinet for. And the best part is that everything is available from stock. We ship within a few days of your order.
We also supply lab sinks, lab accessories, and can help you with your lab design. Fast affordable quality: it's the way to get science done.
