Cleanroom sink units
Cleanroom Sink Units: Aseptic Design for Critical Hygiene
In any sterile facility, the hand-wash and equipment-cleaning station is a high-risk area for moisture-borne contamination. Metrolabs provides high-accuracy Cleanroom Sink Units, engineered to manage water usage while maintaining the absolute integrity of your controlled environment.
Our sink units are designed with a “Zero-Ledge” philosophy, ensuring that water is contained and surfaces remain easy to sterilize, supporting the rigorous hygiene standards of pharmaceutical, healthcare, and microbiology labs.
Engineered for Sterile Water Management
A Metrolabs sink is more than a utility; it is a structural component designed to prevent microbial colonization and splashing.
Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel
We utilize heavy-gauge SS 304 or SS 316L for maximum durability. Corrosion Resistance: Withstands constant exposure to water, medical-grade soaps, and aggressive disinfectants. Non-Porous Finish: The electro-polished surface prevents biofilm buildup and allows for rapid decontamination.
Hands-Free Operation
To prevent cross-contamination, Metrolabs prioritizes touchless interfaces: Infrared Sensors: Automatic water flow triggered by motion. Knee-Operated Panels: Mechanical foot or knee triggers for environments where electronics are restricted. Thermostatic Mixing: Ensures water is delivered at a consistent, safe temperature for effective scrubbing.
Advanced Hygienic Geometry
Standard sinks have sharp angles and visible seams. Our cleanroom units feature: Deep-Drawn Bowls: A single-piece construction with large radiused (coved) corners to eliminate internal joints. Integrated Splashbacks: A continuous, high-riser backplate that protects your Modular Cleanroom Panels from moisture and soap residue. Anti-Drip Edges: A raised perimeter "marine edge" to keep water from spilling onto the cleanroom floor.
Technical Features & Configurations
| Feature | Metrolabs Sink Standard | Benefit |

| Drainage | Center or Corner rear-set | Prevents standing water and aerosolization. |
| Faucet Type | Medical-grade gooseneck | Allows for deep scrubbing and filling of tall flasks. |
| Mounting | Wall-hung or Floor-mounted | Simplifies floor cleaning and maintains room aesthetics. |
Specialized Sink Solutions
Metrolabs customizes wash stations for the specific needs of high-stakes sectors:
Surgical Scrub Sinks: Extra-deep bays designed for pre-operative scrubbing in healthcare settings.
Multi-Station Troughs: Designed for high-traffic entry airlocks to facilitate rapid throughput of personnel.
Equipment Wash Sinks: Features integrated drainboards and spray-rinse units for cleaning laboratory glassware.
Eye-Wash Integration: Optional emergency eye-wash stations can be seamlessly built into the sink unit for immediate safety compliance.
The Metrolabs Advantage
We focus on long-term performance by ensuring that even the plumbing is cleanroom-compatible.
Acoustic Dampening: Every sink bowl is treated with non-shedding sound-deadening pads to reduce noise in the laboratory environment.
Concealed Plumbing: All pipes and valves are housed within a sterile stainless steel shroud, leaving no exposed hardware to collect dust.
VHP Compatibility: Materials are tested to ensure that the sink structure remains unaffected by room-wide sterilization cycles.
Technical Insight: To prevent the backflow of contaminants, we recommend installing a specialized “S-trap” with a smooth internal bore. Pairing your sink with a high-accuracy medical-grade faucet ensures that the water stream is non-aerated, which significantly reduces the risk of generating contaminated aerosols in your sterile zone.
