Laboratory Materials Production

Every material used in laboratory environments forms the basis of many processes, from measurement precision to experiment safety. Therefore, there is no room for error in production processes. Laboratory material manufacturers operating in Turkey produce in accordance with national and international quality standards and complete the necessary certification processes to participate in public tenders.

Starting Point of Production: Design and R&D

Laboratory material production is not limited to molding. The first step begins with a functional design suitable for its intended use. Each of the sample tubes, glass flasks, pipettes, weighing dishes, or plastic consumables is planned with different sizes and features according to the type of use. Technical parameters such as resistance to chemical reactions, temperature tolerance, and surface cleanliness are decisive in the selection of raw materials used.

Developed prototypes are tested in laboratory environments. In this process, the material's leak-tightness, surface smoothness, and durability value are analyzed. R&D units not only develop new products but also continuously carry out improvement studies to increase the functions of existing products.

Technologies Used in the Production Process

Today, material production is carried out with high-precision injection machines, automatic glass shaping units, and calibration-supported quality control devices. Polypropylene or polyethylene is widely used in plastic-based products. These raw materials are shaped in injection molds and made resistant to high temperatures. In glass products, borosilicate glass stands out due to its resistance to thermal shocks.

In the production line, each product is produced according to specified measurements, and calibration controls are ensured. Defective productions are immediately separated. In this way, every product reaching the end-user is of the same standard.

Quality Control and Certification

Manufacturer companies have many technical certificates, especially the ISO 9001 Quality Management System. For material supply to public institutions, ISO 13485 (quality management for medical devices) and CE certificates are required. These documents also indicate that the products have international validity.

In the quality control phase, not only the measurement and function but also the chemical reaction behavior of the material is tested. For example, the sample inside a tube should not affect the analysis results during contact with the inner surface of the material. Therefore, tests such as surface roughness, sterilization resistance, and volume accuracy are regularly performed.

Compliance with Public Tenders

Many public institutions in Turkey procure laboratory materials directly from manufacturing companies. In this process, companies are expected to comply with technical specifications and have certain certificates. Supplier companies that are direct manufacturers, such as Aklab Group, produce every required product group in their own facilities and market them in accordance with regulations.

For products to gain an advantage in tender participation, they must be both cost-competitive and sustainably high-quality. Companies that can achieve this balance also become solution partners abroad.

Production Power in Two Regions: Aklab Group

Aklab Group continues its domestic production activities in two different regions of Turkey. Thanks to this, product supply is provided without loss of time in terms of logistics. Production facilities have departments for different material groups. Each product type is produced on its own special line and regularly inspected by the quality control team.

This regional structure increases production efficiency and enables quick responses to customer demands. Especially in sudden needs or large-scale supply demands, the production process continues without interruption.

In laboratory material production, there is an increasing trend towards recyclable raw materials. Studies are being carried out on biodegradable materials to reduce the amount of waste released into nature from single-use products. Similarly, environmental impacts are reduced through energy-efficient production lines, and production processes are re-planned with carbon footprint calculations.
