  LABORATORY SAFETY PROCEDURES / GUIDELINES a)       Proper choice of glassware General Glass properties: ·          High chemical resistance against many substances: acids, alkalis, organic solvents, saline solutions, and water. The only substances that can destroy glass are hydrofluoric acid, strong alkalis used at high temperatures, and concentrated phosphoric acid. Thus is suitable for reagent and chemical storage. ·          Dimensionally stable: even at high temperatures (think of Pyrex glass) ·          Transparent Types of glass: ·          Soda-lime glass: eg. AR-Glas is suitable for short exposure to chemicals, and for limited heat stress because of its good physical and chemical properties. Products manufactured from this kind of glass include culture tubes and pipettes. · ...

    GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICES GLP is a formal regulation that was created by the FDA (United states food and drug administration) in 1978. GLP embodies a set of principles that provides a frame work within which laboratory studies are planned performed, monitored, and archived and reported.   Reasons for developing GLPs :   • Poor laboratory practices such as i) equipment not been calibrated to standard form , therefore giving wrong measurements ii) Incorrect/inaccurate accounts of the actual lab study iii) Inadequate test systems.   Purpose of GLPs: Ensure that every step of the analysis is valid or Not. Assure the quality & integrity of data. GLPs have heavy emphasis on data recording, record & specimen retention.   GLP Practices and principles   1.       Test Facility Organization and Personnel. The study personnel should demonstrate knowledge on the following GLP principles: ü ...
