Exploring the Diversity of Lab Types and their Unique Requirements
GD Waldner’s overview of the many types of laboratories really underscores the complexity of scientific spaces—from chemistry and biology to engineering, environmental science, and forensics.
Each lab type comes with its own infrastructural needs. Chemistry labs rely on fume hoods and chemical-resistant workstations; biological labs need clean environments, biosafety cabinets, and incubation systems. Engineering labs might use prototyping tools and measurable apparatus, while environmental labs need specialized sampling and analysis stations. Even reactor or energy labs may need robust process control systems.
This diversity means lab planners must tailor solutions to the specific discipline—both in terms of equipment and safety protocols.
