The Laboratory First Aid Supplies category includes the instruments, accessories and consumables needed to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. Selecting them as part of a complete workflow helps prevent compatibility problems that are easy to miss when individual items are considered separately. A practical point for this category is that EKASTU and BartelsRieger provide portable laboratory eye wash bottles and irrigation solutions that allow for immediate treatment of the eyes following accidental splashes, even in areas without plumbed water.
PPE and safety products must match the identified hazard, because general-purpose protection may be unsuitable for a specific chemical, exposure route or task. This is why laboratories should assess identified hazard, protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, and fit and coverage before choosing a product, rather than relying only on capacity, appearance or headline specifications.
Risk assessment comes first, followed by selection of suitable engineering controls, PPE, emergency equipment, inspection routines and replacement intervals. This coordinated approach is particularly useful in research, clinical, education, manufacturing, field and service laboratories, where repeatability and clear operating procedures matter. As part of the Laboratory Safety & PPE range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory First Aid Supplies range
Our collection covers the main product groups used to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response, from safety showers through to fire protection.
Emergency Safety Showers
The Emergency Safety Showers range covers equipment and consumables used to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. Start with the application and sample, then compare protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, fit and coverage, and inspection requirements.
Laboratory Dressings & Plasters
The Laboratory Dressings & Plasters range includes instruments, accessories and consumables used to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. W.Söhngen aluderm® dressings feature an aluminium-vapourized layer that does not adhere to the wound, making them ideal for treating burns and sensitive abrasions without causing trauma during dressing changes.
Emergency Eye Wash Bottles
The Emergency Eye Wash Bottles range includes instruments, accessories and consumables used to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. Sodium Chloride (0.9%) is used for general rinsing of dust and debris, while pH Neutral solution is a phosphate buffer specifically designed to rapidly neutralize acids and alkalis that have entered the eye.
Laboratory Eye Wash Stations
The Laboratory Eye Wash Stations range includes instruments, accessories and consumables used to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. Start with the application and sample, then compare material compatibility, fit and coverage, inspection requirements, and replacement and storage.
Laboratory Fire Protection
The Laboratory Fire Protection range supports laboratories that need to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. Laboratories should also consider how the item will be stored, prepared, cleaned and replaced over its working life.
Featured brands
Kimberly-Clark is known for low-lint wipes, protective apparel and workplace hygiene consumables, AS ONE is known for cleanroom supplies, compact laboratory equipment and general consumables, and LLG Labware is known for practical laboratory consumables, accessories and routine bench supplies. Compare each brand by identified hazard, protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, and fit and coverage, and check what is included with the product so the complete setup is clear before ordering.
