Chemistry Lab Setup for Schools
Chemistry lab equipment for schools, including balances, heating apparatus, stands, glassware, reagent storage and safety essentials for practical work.
Key Features
Plan Chemistry Equipment, Storage and Safety Together
Chemistry laboratory planning needs to consider the practical programme as well as glassware, heating equipment, reagent storage, ventilation and waste handling. Match the equipment list to the school's current experiments and the room's facilities.
Map the glassware, measuring equipment and apparatus required for each practical.
Plan chemical storage, clear labels, segregation and access controls with the school's safety procedures.
Check ventilation and extraction needs against the substances and experiments being used.
Include appropriate protective equipment, first-aid access and waste-disposal arrangements.
