Metro® LAB SOLUTIONS

Metro’s new line of laboratory solutions address a wide range
of laboratory requirements while providing a superior level
of corrosion resistance. Built from advanced polymers that
include *Microban® antimicrobial product protection, Metro’s
innovative MetroMax i™ and Deep Ledge designs provide
the ideal product platform. Available product solutions are
modular by design and offer the customer ultimate flexibility
by permitting the end user to select the most appropriate
caster based on their budget and/or application requirements.
Metro’s Polymer Laboratory Solutions include:

• Lab Worktables and Accessories

• Antimicrobial Casters

• Glassware Handling Solutions

• High Performance Liquid Chromatography Solutions

• General Lab Cart

• Chemical Transport Cart

• Mobile Desk

• Deep Ledge Lab Carts

• Deep Ledge Lab Dolly

Both MetroMax i™ and Deep Ledge shelves have built-in
Microban® antimicrobial product protection. Microban protects
the posts and shelves from bacteria, mold, mildew and fungi
that cause odors, stains and product degradation.

• Corrosion Resistant: MetroMax i™ shelves and posts are
designed to withstand rust and corrosion over the life of the
product, so they are perfectly suited for damp and humid
conditions. MetroMax i™ shelves and posts come with a
lifetime warranty against rust and corrosion.

• Cleans Easily: Solid MetroMax i™ and Deep Ledge shelves
contain spills and wipe down easily. Shelf frame and posts
are smooth and rounded with no sharp edges so they wipe
down easily.

• Strong and Durable: Reinforced polymers give MetroMax i™
incredible strength — up to 800 lbs. (364kg) per shelf. Deep
Ledge shelf load rating depends on application.

Note: Phenolic resin and stainless are offered as top options for this table system. Epoxy resin information is shown for comparison
only.

Definitions:
Phenolic resin: Compression molded of organic fiber-reinforced phenolic core with an

integrally cured thermoset resin surface. Stronger than Epoxy resin over a span, and
not as brittle.
Stainless Steel: Worksurfaces are fabricated from Type 304 stainless steel which
provides excellent protection in corrosive environments.

Epoxy resin: Epoxy resins, silica, organic fillers, and inert hardeners are cast in forms
and cured to a uniform mixture throughout.
