Standard Laboratory Practices
-
Safety First: Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) like lab coats, gloves, and goggles. Familiarize yourself with Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for chemicals and know emergency procedures.
-
Good Laboratory Practices (GLP): Keep detailed documentation of experiments in lab notebooks, follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for consistency, and ensure equipment is calibrated and maintained for accurate results.
-
Chemical Handling and Waste Disposal: Label all chemical containers clearly, store them safely, and dispose of hazardous waste properly to protect both the environment and yourself.
- Experimental Design and Execution: Formulate a clear hypothesis, design experiments methodically, and execute them while adhering to established protocols for reliable outcomes.These practices ensure safety, accuracy, and reliability in the lab.
