• Project Overview
The mallen laboratory project, delivered in November 2023, focused on developing a pharmaceutical laboratory environment designed to support formulation, testing, and quality control processes. The objective was to create a space that ensures safety, precision, and operational efficiency while meeting the demands of pharmaceutical workflows. The mallen laboratory required a controlled and well organized layout capable of supporting consistent procedures, accurate analysis, and reliable performance within a regulated and professional laboratory setting.
• The Challenge
One of the main challenges of the mallen laboratory project was designing a space capable of handling sensitive pharmaceutical processes while maintaining safety, cleanliness, and strict organization. Pharmaceutical laboratories require controlled environments to manage chemical exposure, avoid contamination, and ensure precise results. Ensuring safe handling conditions, proper airflow, and efficient workflows was essential to maintain productivity. The environment also needed to support detailed testing procedures without disruptions while maintaining consistency across all operations.
• Our Approach
To address these requirements, the mallen laboratory was developed using materials and equipment selected for safety, durability, and pharmaceutical performance. The workstations were built with phenolic countertops, providing chemical resistant surfaces suitable for formulation and testing. wood cabinets was incorporated to maintain organized storage while supporting a functional workspace, and underbench safety storage cabinets were included for secure handling of sensitive substances. Additionally, a mobile fume extractor was integrated to improve air quality and provide flexible ventilation within the laboratory.
• The Result
The completed mallen laboratory now provides a controlled and efficient environment tailored for pharmaceutical operations. With durable work surfaces, organized storage, and integrated safety and ventilation solutions, the laboratory supports precise workflows and consistent results. The optimized layout allows teams to perform formulation and testing processes with accuracy and efficiency while maintaining safety and organization. As a result, the laboratory delivers a professional space aligned with the strict requirements of pharmaceutical production and quality control.
