Good Laboratory Practices
What are the best practices for running and managing a laboratory?
Here, we present two formats as guides. The first format is a manual: Good Laboratory Management: Training Manual for Trainers. This manual provides a step-by-step guide for a five-day training course that includes the set of presentations provided in the following section.
The second format is a series of 10 short videos from a working lab at the University of Florida. Richard Fethiere is a lab manager and the instructor for this course. He will demonstrate essential elements of the laboratory and guiding principles for management.
Where to start?
Students and those new to laboratory settings may wish to begin with the videos. The first video provides an introduction, while the following videos may be viewed in any order. Collectively, they offer a "Laboratory 101" overview.
Teachers and laboratory managers can use the manual and the presentations to prepare for classes or an introductory course. Click here for additional information about the manual.
Presentations are also available in French.
