Lab Coats UK: Uniforms For Professionals

Combining functionality with style, our lab coats are designed to meet the needs of professionals in every field. Whether you're in a hospital, research lab, or classroom, we've got you covered with high-quality, durable, and comfortable medical lab coats. Our lab coats are also perfect for professionals in various industries, including the food industry.

Types of lab coats

Lab coats come in various styles and materials to suit different professional needs.

White lab coats are particularly important as they represent cleanliness and make it easier to identify contaminants. Traditional lab coats are often made from a polyester and cotton mix, offering comfort and breathability suitable for everyday use in laboratories and medical settings.

Custom uniforms, including lab coats, are available to meet specific requirements. Polyester blends are popular for their durability and resistance to wrinkles, making them ideal for environments requiring frequent movement and potential exposure to liquids.

For added protection against spills and chemicals, fluid-resistant fabrics like polyester/cotton blends or polyester microfiber are commonly chosen. These materials ensure both comfort and functionality, catering to the diverse demands of scientific and healthcare professionals.

Choosing the right lab coat

Selecting the perfect lab coat involves considering several factors to ensure comfort and functionality. Start by determining the appropriate size based on measurements provided in the size chart, as a well-fitted coat allows for ease of movement without excess bulk.

Choose a style with features such as multiple pockets for storage, adjustable cuffs for a tailored fit, and side vents for ventilation in warmer environments.

Consider the specific requirements of your profession—whether you need a fluid-resistant fabric for protection or a lighter-weight material for comfort during long working hours. Lastly, ensure the garment complies with industry standards for safety and hygiene, and explore customisation options like embroidery for text, logos, and colours to meet individual needs.

Enhance safety with flame retardant lab coats

A Flame Retardant Lab Coat (EFRLC) is a specialised garment designed to provide protection against fire and heat-related hazards in laboratory and industrial settings. Constructed from advanced flame-resistant fabrics such as Proban or blends incorporating flame-retardant fibers, these lab coats are engineered to inhibit the spread of flames and resist ignition.

The primary purpose of an EFRLC is to minimise the risk of burns and injuries caused by accidental exposure to flames, sparks, or hot surfaces. Beyond fire resistance, these coats often maintain comfort and functionality, featuring ergonomic designs with considerations for breathability, flexibility, and durability. EFRLCs are essential safety apparel in environments where the potential for fire hazards exists, ensuring personnel remain protected without compromising on their ability to perform tasks effectively.

Care and maintenance

Proper care is essential to prolong the lifespan of your lab coat and maintain its functionality. Begin by checking the care label for specific washing instructions, typically machine washable in cold water to preserve fabric integrity. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that can damage fabrics or reduce fluid resistance. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent shrinkage and wrinkles. Regularly inspect for stains and treat promptly with stain removers suitable for the fabric type. Iron on low heat if necessary, or consider steaming to remove wrinkles without damaging the fabric. Lab coats also serve as a protective barrier over other clothing, ensuring your attire remains clean and safe.

UK Industry Standards

Lab coats play a crucial role in maintaining safety and hygiene standards across diverse industries. In medical and scientific environments, lab coats often adhere to regulations stipulating specific materials and designs to minimise contamination risks and protect against hazardous substances. Standards may vary by industry and jurisdiction, but common requirements include materials that resist penetration by liquids, easy cleaning and disinfection properties, and features such as closures to prevent exposure to chemicals or biological agents. Understanding and complying with these standards ensures both personal safety and regulatory compliance in professional settings. Additionally, many lab coats are now designed with sustainability features, using chemicals safer for human health and the environment, as certified by specific sustainability certifications.
