Chemical Safety
A biology research laboratory is based on chemicals collection for solutions and buffer stocks. It is imperative to work with proper and reliable substances
Safe chemical handling requires routine inspections of chemical storage areas and maintenance of stringent inventory control.
Information regarding chemical characteristics can be obtained from the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Keep a MSDS library file in your lab computer.

Item 4. First aid measures
Item 8. Exposure and personal protection
