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 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]
