What are your suggestions to improve your laboratory room?
Your question is extremely general; it is important to specify; - what type of laboratory: chemistry, physics, biology, mineralogy, etc. - what it the desired scientific level - money available - area available - the scope of this laboratory - the qualifications of the personnel etc., etc.
Ways in the proper handling of laboratory apparatus?
There are many types of lab apparatus and safety precautions differ greatly for the different types. Here are some general rules. * Always wear proper eye safety gear in the lab. Safety goggles should cover the eyes completely. Regular glasses cannot be used instead of safety goggles. * You should have a separate container for broken glass. Never throw away glass in a regular trashcan where it can cut open the bag and cause an injury. * For fast moving equipment like centrifuges, make sure that all parts are secure and balanced before operating. * Be careful when handling mercury thermometers. Learn how to take care of mercury spills in the lab you are in. Most labs have a mercury spill kit in the building if not in the lab. * Watch out for bottles of solvents (such as dichloromethane) that have a top designed to let you squeeze the solvent conveniently for cleaning purposes or heavy use. After use these often build up pressure due to low vaporization temperatures and can squirt their contents after being set down towards you, another person, or your reaction. * When dealing with open flame be sure to know about the fire safety guidelines of your lab. Also, be sure to clear the area of any flammable objects including bottles of flammable solvents. * Try not to work alone in the lab. It is always better to have a safety buddy who is familiar with a lab setting and knows the proper safety guidelines. * When dealing with apparatus that either creates a vacuum or exerts pressure be sure to make sure everything is in working order and remember that such apparatus have the potential to explode.
What would you do if found out that the auxiliary apparatus to be installed is not according to the specification?
First you already have noticed that there is some type of problem that needs possible correction; that means you have a general knowledge of the apparatus and the specifications. I would check to assure that there aren't some amended spec's issued. Check with the original contractor/installer and give them your concerns. Notify your immediate supervisor to assure they are aware of your observations. Note: If there is a safety concern, expedite your efforts; warn operators if applicable.
What advice would you give for using francium?
To work carefully and with strict respect of rules in a nuclear chemistry/radiochemistry laboratory. But only an extremely small number of persons in the world work with francium.
Give the general parts of the cell?
I'm pretty sure the main parts of a cell are... Golgi body (Golgi apparatus), Nucleus, Cell membrane, Cell wall (if a plant cell), Chloroplast (if a plant cell), Ribosomes, Leptosomes (I'm not sure about that one) Vacuole
