Laboratories: A historical perspective

Introduction

Origins of the laboratory

Among the earliest known organized scientific study was that under the rule of the early Ptolomies of Alexandria in the third century B.C. While little to no evidence seems to exist for public or organized laboratories during this time period, researchers and historians widely accept the idea that at least organized and individual research (meaning "direct personal contact with the objects of study, and by the aid of such appliances as were then available"[1]) into anatomy, physiology, and medicine took place.[2][3][1][4] Dissections and experiments took place, but certainly not in an organized teaching or research laboratory setting like today.

Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century laboratories

Modern laboratories and their importance
