Lab Safety Tip

Label everything and label well! Labeling your solutions is not only good laboratory practice, but it will also save you time and heartache in the long run. Things to remember:

(1) Name of the solution (this can be an abbreviation)

(2) The concentration of the solution

(3) The date that the solution was made

(4) Your name, to avoid confusion when storing your solution in a shared lab space
