Significance of Laboratory
The term "laboratory" has varied meanings. In Ayurveda, it refers to sections of reports presenting test results or settings for preparing specific substances. In Rasashastra, it is a place for metallurgical operations. Health Sciences define it as a location for virus analysis, diagnostic sample analysis, and scientific research. It is where tests are conducted, evidence is gathered, and samples are examined. Laboratories are crucial for diagnosis, screening, and scientific investigation.
