General Laboratory
General Laboratory is a place providing opportunity for experimentation, observation, or practice in a field of study. Among the many items that would be considered general lab equipment are pipettes, scales, centrifuges, Bunsen burners, freezers, hot plates, incubators, coolers, stirrers, water baths, and fume hoods - to name a few.
