A perennial problem in our lab is that of labcoats. It’s probably fairer to say that the problem is the people<\/em>, not the labcoats: a few people do wear them regularly, most do not. This may be due in part to the labcoats themselves: polycotton medic style, with sleeves that dangle into your coffee<\/del> media and actually very little protection against full-frontal splashes.<\/p>\n

\nThis coat, designed uniquely for the MMB, is manufactured from the highest quality cotton drill.
