Cleanroom Storage for Pharmaceutical & Laboratory

Pharmaceutical manufacturing, QC laboratories and research facilities in Malaysia — concentrated in Selangor, Penang and Johor — require storage that meets strict cleanliness and contamination-control standards. Stainless steel workbenches, cabinets and shelving are the standard in these environments because they are non-porous, low-particle and easy to decontaminate. Tanko's stainless steel range supports GMP, GLP and cleanroom requirements.

Cleanroom & controlled-environment storage

Cleanrooms and controlled environments demand surfaces that minimise particle generation and resist microbial growth. Stainless steel meets both requirements: it does not flake or shed particles, and its smooth surface does not support contamination. Tanko's stainless steel workbenches and cabinets are used in Malaysian pharmaceutical cleanrooms, QC labs and life science facilities where cleanliness is audited and validated.

Laboratory workbenches

Laboratories need work surfaces that resist chemicals, are easy to clean and provide a stable platform for instruments. Tanko's stainless steel workbenches suit wet labs, analytical labs and sample preparation areas. For electronics and ESD-sensitive labs, ESD workstations with dissipative surfaces provide controlled grounding. Both options are configurable with shelving, power and storage to match the lab's workflow.

Storage for samples, reagents & equipment

Pharmaceutical and laboratory storage requires organisation and traceability. Stainless steel cabinets with smooth interiors and adjustable shelves store reagents, glassware and sampling equipment without risk of contamination. Document cabinets at the point of use hold SOPs, test records and batch documentation — essential for GMP traceability. Tanko's storage range supports the organised, auditable environment that regulated labs require.

  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing — cleanroom workbenches and stainless storage for production areas.
  • QC & analytical labs — chemical-resistant workbenches and organised reagent storage.
  • Research & development — configurable lab benches with power and shelving.
  • Medical device manufacturing — cleanroom storage meeting ISO 13485 requirements.
  • Biotechnology & life sciences — contamination-controlled work surfaces and storage.
  • Testing & calibration labs — stable workbenches and organised equipment storage.

GMP & audit compliance

Pharmaceutical facilities in Malaysia are regulated by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) and must comply with PIC/S GMP guidelines. Storage and work surfaces must be cleanable, non-reactive and documented. Stainless steel storage simplifies compliance: smooth surfaces are validated as clean, there are no crevices for contamination, and the material does not react with pharmaceutical products or cleaning agents.

304 stainless models for cleanroom and laboratory use

These are the lines specified in 304 stainless rather than a general stainless finish. 304 is the grade that matters in a controlled environment: non-porous, no seam for anything to sit behind, and it takes repeated decontamination without pitting. Frames are rated to 600kg.

Frequently asked questions

Why is stainless steel used in pharmaceutical cleanrooms?

Stainless steel is non-porous, low-particle and easy to decontaminate. It does not shed particles or support microbial growth, making it suitable for cleanroom and controlled environments required by GMP.

Can stainless steel workbenches be used in ISO classified cleanrooms?

Yes. Stainless steel workbenches with smooth, welded construction are suitable for ISO classified cleanrooms. The non-porous, low-particle surface meets the cleanliness requirements of pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing.

What is the difference between lab workbenches and cleanroom workbenches?

Lab workbenches prioritise chemical resistance and instrument stability. Cleanroom workbenches prioritise low-particle generation, smooth welds and easy decontamination. Tanko's stainless steel range suits both, with configuration options for each environment.

Do you provide storage that supports GMP documentation requirements?

Yes. Our document cabinets keep SOPs, test records and batch documentation at the point of use, supporting the traceability and organisation required by GMP and NPRA regulations.
