Learn More About LabTech

Dakota was founded to meet the process laboratory gas piping needs for applications that rely on hazardous gases. Not only is quality design and engineering integral to the performance of equipment, but more importantly it is vital to the safety of your employees. At Dakota we approach laboratory design and manufacture with the utmost pride and responsibility. Every Dakota employee undergoes extensive training including a full seminar on safety and responsibility – both for our own employees and our customers’ employees. Dakota laboratory equipment has withstood decades of competing technologies in large part because of the reliability and safety of our laboratory equipment.

Our design-for-manufacture philosophy, strict ERP documentation, and calibrated-to-demand flexibility all allow our customers to navigate the peaks and valleys of the product lifecycle. When we design a prototype, we design it with scale and manufacturing in mind so you are prepared for opportunity when it comes. Similarly, our diligent documentation allows us to create identical machinery for repeatable results or design next generation laboratory equipment that can leverage existing equipment or infrastructure to facilitate transition. The aggregate effect of a Dakota partnership is reliable laboratory equipment structured around your success.

With a history in both facilities and process laboratory equipment, Dakota has a uniquely comprehensive domain knowledge from the gas source to the process chamber. This knowledge enables us to design an elegant symbiosis between the ecosystem and the equipment. We design with an ergonomic standard so that the gas delivery systems support both current and future process requirements. Such design elements include adaptable unions at standard distances to accommodate future equipment and modular design for scale and flexibility. The net result is easier installation with minimal on-site welding, improved performance, and an extended lifecycle.

We spec our gas delivery systems with adaptable unions at standard distances to facilitate installation and minimize on-site welding. Similarly, our laboratory equipment features standardized gas inlet and exhaust ports for uniform piping enabling identical installation and compatibility of equipment throughout the lab. This system improves safety while ensuring economic and efficient install and adaptation.

We think about the entire life-time use of laboratory equipment and systems we design. Maintenance is a vital part of the laboratory equipment lifecycle. As such, we make maintenance items easily accessible while preserving the safety and integrity of the production environment. This means faster maintenance, less downtime, and more production.

All of our laboratory equipment is designed to be intuitive and friendly to the end users. On custom laboratory equipment, ergonomics can go as far as designing controls to match the physical specifications of the primary user, but all of our equipment is designed for ease of operation. The joy of owning Dakota equipment is a large part of why companies like IBM have used our laboratory equipment for decades.
