Logo Where does the name Fonebone come from? It is homage to the great cartoonist Don Martin and his wonderful enthusiasm for onomatopoetic words in his writing. Fonebone was a character name used in some of his stories.

Key Features

feature-img

 

Chemical Resistant

Trespa surfaces, resistant to strong acids, bases, solvents (other surfaces available, including Stainless Steel, Concrete/Granite, Veneer)

Trespa

Super inert; great for solvents, strong acids and bases and microbiology (non-porous). Will break if you hit it with a hammer.

Stainless Steel

Great for solvents; strong acids and bases may rust surface. More resistant to mechanical damage (may need additional structure underneath)

Concrete/Granite

Add mass and stability for balances or sensitive optical instruments; very porous. Should be a single piece for best mass stability

Veneer

Chemical resistant materials available, but over time veneer will chip and water spills will swell and expand inner wood core.

Heavy Duty Steel Frame

Rugged and solid! Heavy gauge steel frame allows bench to be completely open underneath, for Nitrogen generators, rough pumps, chillers, etc. Other bench ideas include light gauge sheet metal frames; wood, and folding card tables.

Heavy Duty Steel Frame

Will last decades, and match the standards of a well built laboratory. A solid bench for a high quality instrument!

 

Light gauge sheet metal frames

Generally require lower cross bracing that will not permit accessories to be rolled underneath.

 

Wood Tables

Generally require lower cross bracing. Not available from FSI.

 

Folding Card Tables

It is always alarming to visit labs that have a $500K instrument setting on a plastic table with folding legs. Why does this happen?

Large 6” casters

frequent moving; larger wheels go over uneven surfaces with ease. Bench will move if you have larger livestock in your laboratory area.

Full Lock Casters
