How to Avoid Mistakes in the Lab
Working in a laboratory is exciting, but small mistakes can affect your results and safety. With proper care and focus, you can avoid most lab errors and work confidently 
Understand the procedure before starting
Always read the experiment and understand each step. Don’t start the experiment without knowing what to do and why.
Label everything clearly
Always label test tubes, samples, and reagents. Unlabeled samples can lead to confusion and wrong results.
Follow safety rules
Wear proper lab coat, gloves, and follow safety instructions. This protects you and keeps your experiment safe.
Work slowly and carefully
Don’t rush. Many mistakes happen when students hurry. Take your time and focus on accuracy.
Keep your workspace organized
A clean and organized lab bench helps you work efficiently and avoid confusion.
Use equipment correctly
Learn how to use instruments like micropipettes, microscopes, and centrifuges properly. Wrong handling can damage equipment and affect results.
Record observations immediately
Write results and observations during the experiment. Don’t rely on memory.
Mistakes are part of learning, but careful preparation, focus, and good lab habits help you become a confident and skilled biotechnology student
