Configurable workstations

A configurable workstation comprising:

• a support frame comprising a workspace for performing a scientific procedure;
• a plurality of modules, wherein each module of the plurality of modules is configured to be installed to the support frame for customizing a functional profile of the configurable workstation;
• and
• a server computer hosting an application, wherein the application is configured to provide a first user interface for controlling operations of the configurable workstation,
• wherein the support frame and the plurality of modules comprise multiple medical devices that are subject to regulatory review,
• wherein each medical device of the multiple medical devices comprises equipment for carrying out a dedicated medical function, a power port, hardware, firmware, a second user interface, and a network communication board for communicating with the server computer, and
• wherein the multiple medical devices are configured to communicate with each other and with the server computer via a network.

A configurable workstation comprising:

• a support frame comprising:
• a workspace for performing a scientific procedure,
• a wall that forms a vertical boundary of the workspace, and
• a table that provides a work surface at the workspace, wherein the table comprises a platform comprising a plurality of horizontal openings along a front edge of the platform and an air chamber positioned underneath the platform;
• one or more fans disposed above the workspace and configured to circulate air downward into the workspace;
• a filter disposed beneath the one or more fans for filtering the air that flows from the one or more fans, wherein the configurable workstation is configured to flow air along a recirculation airflow path downward from the one or more fans, into the workspace, underneath the platform of the table, upwardly behind the wall, and back to the one or more fans;
• a plurality of modules, wherein each module of the plurality of modules is configured to be installed to the support frame for customizing a functional profile of the configurable workstation;
• and
• a server computer hosting an application, wherein the application is configured to provide a user interface for controlling operations of the configurable workstation.
