3. Our biochemistry laboratory.
This is our Biochemistry laboratory. In the front, there is the
refrigerator; it is used to store various types of biological
specimens and samples. Next to the fridge is the audio computer
equipment. Notice that on the right hand side, we have the white
board, and the periodic chart is just above the fridge on the front
wall. Now, look at the right hand wall. On the table, the hazardous
waste containers are used to hold organic waste material. They are
constructed of brightly yellow coloured polyethylene with self-
closing lids. And below the containers is the emergency shower that
allows workers to flush away hazardous substances that can cause
injury. The first 10 to 15 seconds after exposure to a hazardous
substance, especially a corrosive substance, are critical. Delaying
treatment, even for a few seconds, may cause serious injury. We
also have a test tube drying rack attached to the wall on the left
hand side of the shelf, and below it the plastic bottles are
placed. On the table, in the front on the right hand side, is the
spectrophotometer. The use of spectrophotometers spans various
scientific fields such as physics, materials science, chemistry,
biochemistry, and molecular biology. In this laboratory it is used
for the study of chemical substances. Finally, we have four rows of
table seats and laboratory tables with a group of comfortable
chairs.
