The days of fluorescent tubes are over - even in pharmaceutical research. Together with VITARIS AG, an internationally active Swiss pharmaceutical company has converted eight labogen safety cabinets to modern LED lighting. The result: brighter, flicker-free light, greater energy efficiency and a sustainable, mercury-free solution - implemented with precision, speed and technical sensitivity.
Initial situation - when light becomes a challenge
Many laboratories are still working with fluorescent tubes - despite their high energy consumption, heat generation and decreasing availability. When a leading pharmaceutical company reported lighting problems at the end of 2024, the decision was made together with VITARIS to carry out a comprehensive LED retrofit on all eight Labogene workbenches.
"As a requalification was due anyway, the timing was ideal," says the laboratory manager. "VITARIS offered a perfectly coordinated LED upgrade - efficient, sustainable and immediately available."
The solution - coordinated, efficient, future-proof
The LED kit from Labogene was precisely matched to the workbenches: GMP-compliant, energy-efficient and long-lasting.
The advantages at a glance:
- Up to 50 % less power consumption
- Flicker-free, ergonomic light
- Mercury-free, low-maintenance solution
- Three-year guarantee on the installation
Implementation during ongoing operations
The conversion was carried out without interrupting operations. Thanks to precise planning and flexible deployment coordination, VITARIS was able to convert all eight workbenches within four weeks - including requalification and complete documentation.
"The back office was perfectly organized," reports the customer. "All adjustments were implemented immediately and the technician was flexible and efficient."
Tangible added value in everyday life
The new light creates a much more pleasant working atmosphere: brighter, clearer and more uniform. Employees report better concentration and less fatigue - with lower energy consumption and reduced maintenance costs.
Partnership with impact
As an official Labogene partner, VITARIS knows the devices down to the last detail. This expertise was crucial for the smooth implementation. "You can tell that VITARIS not only installs, but understands," summarizes the laboratory manager.
For VITARIS, the project exemplifies its philosophy: service means further development. The LED retrofit shows how technology, sustainability and partnership work together in detail - efficiently, reliably and with an eye to the future.
