Proper work area management is crucial for several reasons:
Safety: Handling catalysts often involves toxic, flammable, or otherwise hazardous materials. Proper management minimizes risks. Efficiency: An organized workspace allows researchers to find tools and materials quickly, reducing downtime. Accuracy: Proper labeling and storage prevent cross-contamination of samples and ensure the reliability of experimental results. Regulatory Compliance: Many aspects of catalytic research are subject to regulations. Proper management ensures compliance with these rules.
