Built to last
Reliability you can count on
Robust design for experiments that return year after year. The focus is on proven core practicals and foundational kit that stands up to timetables, class sizes, and daily handling.
LabGear – the standard for science teaching
Teaching kit for everyday science lessons: dependable equipment for core practicals in physics, chemistry, and biology—built for classrooms and subject labs, not specialist research.
Developed with teachers and scientific colleagues. The outcome is robust hardware, clear curriculum fit, and pricing that makes equipping whole classes and rooms a realistic plan—not a prestige surcharge.

What defines LabGear
Not a specialist research lab, but the rhythm of real teaching. LabGear brings together the three dimensions that matter every day in schools and training.
Plannable
Investment with perspective
A clear value proposition for decisions that have to last—from a single set-up to class kits and phased room fit-outs. Quality that earns its place in the budget without premium for its own sake.
Teaching-led
Shaped in the classroom
Curriculum alignment and everyday teaching come first—selected and refined with teachers and subject specialists. For the pace of lessons, not the cutting edge of research.
Topics & orientation
Short introductions by subject—to support conversations in departments and during room planning. Full range and ordering details are available at Conatex.
Physics
Mechanics, electricity, optics: core practicals with clear phenomena and robust set-ups for group work.

Chemistry
Foundational kit for safe, repeatable exercises—from simple set-ups to class sets for the subject lab.

Biology
Observe, measure, document: equipment for foundational science work in the classroom and lab rhythm.

LabGear
Trusted in everyday teaching
LabGear is built for teams that need repeatability, budget clarity, and curriculum fit—from secondary schools to vocational pathways.
“We need kit that works in parallel groups and still makes sense after the fifth use—not lab-scale gear for single stations.”
“For annual planning, transparent pricing and equipment that holds up in daily use matter. That is exactly what this approach is for.”
“In tenders I want sets we can justify—without hidden follow-on costs and without having to explain every year why something needs replacing again.”
“Our maintenance and storage capacity are limited. So it matters: less small-parts chaos, clear operation for students, and hardware that survives class turnover.”
Three principles
In short, what LabGear stands for day to day:
- 01
Proven practice over novelty
In labs and classrooms, repeatability matters: equipment that is straightforward to use, results that are easy to explain, and less noise around the latest gadget. Stability beats fashion.
- 02
Open, not closed
LabGear is meant to fit how you already work—complementary and combinable, without locking you into a single proprietary stack. Freedom to assemble, not dependence on one system.
- 03
Grow with demand
From a first experiment to consistent room-wide provision: a broad range that scales as classes, rooms, or subjects evolve. Scaling that respects organisation and budget alike.
Dealers & where to buy
LabGear is supplied through the official channel—with a searchable catalogue, brand filters, and the ordering paths schools and institutions typically use.

Where LabGear belongs
Teaching built around shared practicals asks different things of equipment than a single-user lab: parallel groups, little time for fine adjustment, and kit that stays intelligible after heavy weekly use. LabGear is shaped for that rhythm—in class groups and in dedicated subject laboratories.
Vocational pathways and introductory university courses often come down to the same need: teach fundamentals with hardware that is easy to explain and easy to justify in annual plans and budgets. Here, teaching materials earn their place by carrying everyday teaching and training—calmly, repeatably, reliably.
