Question

One of Stan's duties is to check the laboratory equipment and machines each morning when he arrives at the office. This morning, when he checked the temperature in the laboratory refrigerator, he discovered that the temperature was 62°F. What should Stan do?

Answer 1

Answer:

Stan must inform all the concerned lab personnel about the condition of specimen

Explanation:

In general the temperature in refrigerators is maintained between 36 to 46 degree Fahrenheit. Since the temperature has crossed the maximum highest range, there are high chances that it might have disturbed the internal structure of the specimen. Therefore, the specimen is now available in a compromised form.  However, a laboratory refrigerator’s temperature must be maintained at a constant temperature to ensure no bacterial infection and perseverance of volatile materials/chemicals.
