The early laboratories[edit]

The earliest laboratory in the word according to the present evidence is a home laboratory of Pythagoras of Samos, the well-known Greek philosopher and scientist. This laboratory occurred when Pythagoras conducted an experiment about tones of sound and vibration of string. [1]

In the past, scientists did not wear any PPE or Personal Protective Equipment because there is no PPE regulation before the year 1992. In those days, from the painting of Louis Pasteur by Albert Edelfelt in 1885, Louis Pasteur is the one that had appropriate conduction as a chemically professional motif of a chemist by comparing his note in his left hand with a bottle filled with a solid in his right hand, no pipes or any causes of danger in his laboratory. [2]

The greatest of laboratory changes occurred in the 19th century because of working styles such as researching as a team and some more new equipment, however, the fastest development in laboratories took place in the 20th century due to the new features of laboratories, for instance, adding sink for drying glassware in laboratories. [3]

In 2002, the underground laboratories in Prague was accidentally discovered. It is the alchemical laboratory from the 16th century hidden secretly under the ground conducting an experiment by the ancient alchemist, creating gold from other metals, now this ancient laboratory was preserved as the attractive museum of Prague, Czech, named Speculum Alchemiae, it is believed that this underground laboratory was belonged to Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor.
