I would imagine that there isn’t anything hazardous to that degree. I studied biochemistry, and I can think of a lot of different research areas that would include minimally hazardous materials (e.g. phosphate buffer)

I will say this is not enough PPE for a dog, especially if you’re doing acid titrations or something, I can’t imagine HCL is easy to get out of fur but it might give the dog a while before skin contact

I didn’t do biochemistry but I’ve just been taking chem 2 this semester and we’ve used HCL for maybe 3 or 4 labs, I dunno. I think the biggest issue though is that the dog is immediately below the table, presumably at her owners legs and In the splash zone

Yeah, I’m hoping the image is just a cute joke and that the lab is actually not dealing with anything hazardous.

My bio labs required ppe as well as the chem.
