How to Store and Handle Lab Chemicals Safely at Home: Essential Tips

Why Safe Storage Matters

Improper storage can lead to spills, contamination, or dangerous reactions. Chemicals stored near heat, light, or incompatible substances may degrade or cause accidents. A safe setup minimizes risks and extends the shelf life of your chemicals.

Essential Tips for Chemical Storage

1. Use Proper Containers

Always store chemicals in tightly sealed, labeled containers. We recommend using amber glass bottles like our 100ml glass bottles with droppers to protect light-sensitive chemicals.

2. Keep Chemicals Separate

Store acids, bases, and flammables apart. Avoid stacking incompatible substances together to prevent dangerous reactions.

3. Label Everything Clearly

Include the chemical name, concentration, hazard info, and date of purchase. Proper labeling helps prevent mistakes during experiments.

4. Store in a Cool, Dry, and Ventilated Area

Heat and moisture can degrade chemicals. Choose a spot away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity.

5. Use Safety Equipment

Keep gloves, goggles, and spill kits accessible. It’s best to handle chemicals wearing appropriate protective gear.
