lab bench

Researcher's work station

A lab bench is a sturdy worktable designed for scientific experiments and laboratory procedures.

Lab benches typically feature durable, chemical-resistant surfaces and may include built-in storage, electrical outlets, or gas connections.

The term also refers metaphorically to hands-on research work: The discovery moved from the lab bench to clinical trials.
