Enhancing Chemical Laboratory Safety with Hazards Risks Mitigation and Strategic Actions

Wanshu Wang, Yang Su, Hui Cao et al. · 9 Feb 2025

Chemical laboratories, as the cornerstone of scientific innovation, face inherent risks due to the nature of their operations. Hazards such as flammable, explosive, and corrosive chemicals, combined with high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, present significant safety challenges. Accidents not only jeopardize the health and safety of personnel but also risk equipment damage, environmental pollution, and broader…

A Comprehensive Guide to Textile Process Laboratories: Risks, Hazards, Preservation Care, and Safety Protocol

Carlos Rafael Silva de Oliveira, Cátia Rosana Lange de Aguiar, Maria Elisa Philippsen Missner et al. · 8 Dec 2023

Textile chemistry and textile processing laboratories are essential environments for textile product research and development, but they also pose hazards that require rigorous precautions. Among the most common risks is handling chemicals used in the textile industry, such as dyes, solvents, and finishing chemicals, which can be contaminants, corrosive, and flammable, presenting risks of poisoning…

Analyzing and Forecasting Laboratory Energy Consumption Patterns Using Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Models

Yitong Niu, Xiongjie Jia, Chee Keong Lee et al. · 30 Dec 2024

This study applied ARIMA modeling to analyze the energy consumption patterns of laboratory equipment over one month, focusing on enhancing energy management in the laboratory. By explicitly examining AC and DC equipment, this study obtained detailed daily operating cycles and periods of inactivity. Advanced differencing and diagnostic checks were used to verify model accuracy and…

Methodological Rigor in Laboratory Education Research

Hendra Y. Agustian · 17 Jun 2024

Despite the growing number of published studies on student learning in the laboratory, there is a critical need to improve methodological rigor. Resonating with discussions on research methods, this paper outlines the importance of theory-informed research questions, the minimization of researcher and participant biases, and the use of triangulation and iteration in data collection to…

From Biosafety to National Security: The Evolution and Challenges of Biosafety Laboratories

Wanying Gao, Zongzhen Wu, Kunlan Zuo et al. · 23 Dec 2024

From the perspective of science and technology history, we review the development history and key events of global biosafety laboratories to deepen our understanding of biosafety. The construction history of biosafety laboratories reveals the complex interactions between science, social needs, public health safety, and national security. From the recognition of laboratory infection incidents in the…

Laboratories template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Laboratories format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Laboratories template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Laboratories use?
