metrology laboratory
In this laboratory, the science that aims to study units and measurements of magnitudes is applied; It also defines the technical requirements of the measurement methods and instruments.
Metrology laboratories are classified hierarchically according to the quality of their standards. Although the structures may vary in each country, as a general rule there are three levels (the conditions will be stricter the higher the level of the laboratory):
At any level, laboratories can be classified based on the nature of the measurements performed: dimensional metrology, electrical metrology, materials testing, etc.
Clinical laboratory
The clinical laboratory is the place where "in vitro" determinations of human (or animal, in veterinary medicine) biological properties are made that contribute to the study, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of health problems. They use methodologies from various disciplines such as biochemistry, hematology, immunology and microbiology. In the clinical laboratory, clinical samples are obtained and studied, such as blood, urine, feces, synovial fluid (joints), cerebrospinal fluid, pharyngeal and vaginal exudates, among others.
A laboratory information management system (LIMS), sometimes called a laboratory information system (LIS) or laboratory management system (LMS), is a software-based solution with features that support the operations of a modern clinical laboratory. Key features include, but are not limited to, data tracking and workflow support, flexible architecture and data sharing interfaces, which "fully support use in regulated environments." The functions and uses of an LIS have evolved over the years from simple sample tracking to an enterprise resource planning tool that manages multiple aspects of laboratory informatics.
scientific laboratory
Virtually all branches of natural sciences develop and progress thanks to the results obtained in their laboratories.
It is the laboratory where we work with biological material, from the cellular level to the level of organs and systems, analyzing them experimentally. The aim is to distinguish, with the help of certain material, the structure of living beings, to identify the compounds that make them up. Measurements are also made and observations are made from which the conclusions of these experiments are drawn. It consists of a light or electronic microscope, Petri dishes, thermometers; all this for microbiology, surgery equipment, dissection tables for zoology, biosafety elements such as gloves and laboratory coat and safety glasses.
It is one that refers to chemistry and that studies compounds, mixtures of substances or elements using chemical tests, helps to analyze the theories that have been postulated throughout the development of this science and to make new discoveries. They can be classified into physical chemistry laboratories, chemical analysis laboratories, organic synthesis laboratories and inorganic laboratories.
In a chemistry laboratory, a wide variety of instruments or tools are used, which, together, are called laboratory materials. They can be classified according to the material:
The physics laboratory is ideal for doing experiments with electricity, electronics, optics and related things. It has a large number of plugs and cables where they carry out tests.
In the soil laboratories, their properties are analyzed from the point of view of their use in agriculture and livestock, as well as the nutritional characteristics that plants need for their growth, or also to improve the quality of the soil and water, are determined.
In water quality laboratories, water is analyzed both from a chemical and biological point of view, to detect contaminants harmful to health.
There is a wide range of laboratories specialized in water analysis, from the simplest ones that are installed next to purification plants and wastewater treatment plants.
Other types of laboratory
In this laboratory, the behavior of users when faced with computer applications, such as a web page, is studied. For this, there are different rooms for experts to observe users. In a product lab, the usability of a software product, application, or web service is usually analyzed and studied.
They are found in schools and institutions dedicated to language teaching and are used to practice the grammatical and syntax rules learned in the theoretical classroom, as well as to improve oral expression (phonology) and listening of the language in question. They use audio equipment (cassette or CD players and headphones), video equipment (screens, video recorders) and computer equipment: computers and various language and language learning programs.
They are found in schools and institutes. They are characteristic of the areas of experimental sciences where practical work takes on a special didactic and pedagogical meaning. In them, different types of practical work are carried out, such as teaching experiences, directed and verification practices, research or inquiry experiences by students, etc. Traditionally, students follow an experience prepared by the teacher through a practice script, writing down what they do in a laboratory notebook and subsequently preparing a practice report.
A school laboratory is a very different environment from a normal classroom as it requires appropriate material, means and facilities. Spanish legislation broadly regulates these spaces; They must be larger than an ordinary classroom, with easy circulation inside, with at least two doors and with natural light and ventilation. Furthermore, its architecture is usually modular, with large work tables attached to the floor as well as stools and sinks with running water. In chemistry there will be a cabinet for gases and extractors. Chemical reagents will be stored under lock and key in metal cabinets in rooms attached to the laboratory. And the gas and electricity installations will be controlled at all times, so an independent electrical panel will be installed per laboratory. In addition to having the equipment for any classroom, they will have specific material for the different subjects.
