 Correct information from lab tests is maximized with quality test equipment and a work area designed for efficiency.
Don't overlook the following when designing or upgrading this important area:
? It's easy to overcrowd your counter space with test equipment. Plan accordingly when deciding total amount of counter space needed.
? This area is subject to all kinds of spills. It must be easy to clean.
? Adequate storage space is often overlooked in this part of the facility. For an efficient lab area, all needed supplies must be at your fingertips, but not in the way.
? Narcotic substances need to be secure and controlled. A narcotics safe limits access to only authorized staff. | |  | | | | | | |
