In vitro, in situ, wet lab, dry lab, in silico, explained

A dry lab is a laboratory where computational or applied mathematical analyses are done on a computer-generated model to simulate a phenomenon in the physical realm. In vitro a process performed or taking place in a test tube, culture dish, or elsewhere outside a living organism. In situ is a Latin phrase that translates literally to “on site“ or “in position.“ It can mean “locally“, “on site“, “on the premises“, or “in place“ to describe where an event takes place and is used in many different contexts. In silico is an expression meaning “performed on computer or via computer simulation“ in reference to biological experiments. A wet lab, or experimental lab, is a type of laboratory where it is necessary to handle various types of chemicals and potential “wet“ hazards, so the room has to be carefully designed, constructed, and controlled to avoid spillage and contamination. #InSilico #InSitu #inVitro #dryLab #webLab #wetLab
