I already have a lab coat, can use it for my undergraduate Bioscience Lab sessions?

For health and safety reasons, you must wear a Howie style lab coat in the science laboratories at the University of Surrey. If you do bring another style of lab coat, you will be asked to buy a new lab coat if it does not meet the University specifications.

The specifications of a Howie-style lab coat are outlined within the induction information provided on your module page on Surrey Learn so we recommend that you refer to this if you are not sure.

Key specifications of a Howie style lab coat include:-

  • high neck
  • stretch ribbed cuffs
  • asymmetrical stud front
  • standard length
