Acoustical Products Made in USA.
Scientific laboratories rely on equipment such as centrifuges, analyzers, vacuum pumps, and air filtration systems that operate continuously throughout the day. These machines commonly generate laboratory equipment noise levels between 65–75 dB(A), creating a persistent background environment that affects concentration and communication. Researchers performing analytical work must maintain focus when conducting experiments, reviewing data, and documenting results. When multiple pieces of equipment operate simultaneously, the combined sound can interfere with routine laboratory activities.
Background sound levels above 65 dB(A) can significantly affect speech clarity in laboratory environments. Technicians may need to repeat conversations or move away from equipment areas to discuss test results with colleagues. Over time, this constant acoustic distraction can slow research workflows and reduce efficiency. Laboratories designed primarily for airflow and contamination control often overlook laboratory acoustic control solutions.
Standard laboratory partitions and equipment housings rarely provide adequate sound transmission loss to block mechanical equipment noise. Because laboratory environments typically contain reflective surfaces such as stainless steel benches, glass panels, and tile floors, sound waves easily travel throughout the workspace. This results in elevated ambient sound levels across multiple workstations.
Santrix® Acoustic Modular Cleanrooms provide a dual solution by combining cleanroom contamination control with acoustic sound isolation. These modular acoustic cleanrooms incorporate dense acoustic wall panels designed to block external sound transmission while maintaining controlled air quality. In facilities where surrounding sound levels reach 70–75 dB(A), interior levels can often be reduced to 45–50 dB(A). Santrix® Acoustic Modular Cleanrooms in laboratories make quieter environments that allow researchers to maintain focus while supporting regulatory compliance for laboratory environments governed by NIH, CDC, and workplace safety guidelines.
