Safe Laboratory Practices & Procedures

Safe Laboratory Practices & Procedures

Below is a listing of Safe Laboratory Practices to serve as a reminder of some fundamental safety tips.

Tip #1:
 Ask yourself, "What am I working with? What are the hazards?
"Common hazards in the laboratory include: animal, biological, chemical, physical, and radiological. If there is an accident or emergency situation involving these hazards:Seek immediate assistance. If you are splashed by any of these materials, use running water from an eyewash station or emergency shower for at least 15 minutes or until emergency assistance arrives and provides you with different instructions.Report to your supervisor any accident, injury, or uncontrolled release of potentially hazardous materials - no matter how trivial the accident, injury, or release may appea.

Tip #2
Be prepared.Attend all required laboratory safety training prior to the start of your research assignment.Read all procedures and associated safety information prior to the start of an experiment.Perform only those experiments authorized by your supervisor.Follow all written and verbal instructions. Ask for assistance if you need guidance or help.Work under direct supervision at all times. Never work alone in the laboratory.Know the locations and operating procedures for all safety equipment. This includes the eyewash station and safety shower.Know the locations of the nearest fire alarms and at least two ways out of the building. Never use an elevator in emergencies.Be alert and proceed with caution at all times in the laboratory. Immediately notify the supervisor of any unsafe conditions.Know the proper emergency response procedures for accidents or injuries in the laboratory.

Tip #3: 
Prevent potential exposure.Conduct yourself in a responsible and professional manner at all times. No pranks. No practical jokes.Dress for work in the laboratory. Wear clothing and shoes that cover exposed skin and protect you from potential splashes. Tie back long hair, jewelry, or anything that may catch in equipment.Never eat food, drink beverages, chew gum, apply cosmetics (including lip balm), or handle contact lenses in the laboratory.Use a chemical fume hood or biosafety cabinet, as directed by your supervisor.Observe good housekeeping - keep aisles clear.Report damaged electrical equipment to the supervisor. Do not use damaged electrical equipment.Do not leave active experiments unattended. Never leave anything that is being heated or is visibly reacting unattended. 

Tip #4: 
Protect yourself, others, your research, and the environment.Practice good personal hygiene. Wash your hands after removing gloves, before leaving the laboratory, and after handling a potentially hazardous material.While working in the laboratory, wear personal protective equipment - eye protection, gloves, laboratory coat - as directed by your supervisor.

What is organic chemistry??

Organic chemistry is a chemistry subdiscipline involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms.Study of structure includes many physical and chemical methods to determine the chemical composition and the chemical constitution of organic compounds and materials. Study of properties includes both physical properties and chemical properties, and uses similar methods as well as methods to evaluate chemical reactivity, with the aim to understand the behavior of the organic matter in its pure form (when possible), but also in solutions, mixtures, and fabricated forms. The study of organic reactions includes probing their scope through use in preparation of target compounds (e.g., natural products,drugs, polymers, etc.) by chemical synthesis, as well as the focused study of the reactivities of individual organic molecules, both in the laboratory and via theoretical (in silico) study.

inorganic chemistry

can you define inorganic chemistry???

Inorganic chemistry deals with the synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compounds. This field covers all chemical compounds except the myriad organic compounds (carbon based compounds, usually containing C-H bonds), which are the subjects of organic chemistry. The distinction between the two disciplines is far from absolute, and there is much overlap, most importantly in the sub-discipline of organometallic chemistry. It has applications in every aspect of the chemical industry–including catalysis, materials science, pigments, surfactants, coatings, medicine, fuel, and agriculture

Inorganic compounds show rich variety:A: Diborane features unusual bondingB: Caesium chloride has an archetypalcrystal structureC: Fp₂ is an organometallic complexD: Silicone's uses range from breast implants to Silly PuttyE: Grubbs' catalyst won the 2005 Nobel Prize for its discovererF: Zeolites find extensive use asmolecular sievesG: Copper(II) acetate surprisedtheoreticians with its diamagnetism

Analytical chemistry

analytical chemistry is......

Analytical chemistry is the study of the separation
, identification, and quantification of the chemical components
 of natural and artificial materials.

Analytical chemistry is also focused on
 improvements in experimental design, chemometrics, and the creation
 of new measurement tools
 to provide better chemical information
. Analytical chemistry has applications in forensics, bioanalysis,
clinical analysis, environmental
 analysis, and materials analysis.
