I don't know about chemistry stuff, but as a leftie this would make me thrilled because of the labeling side.

So often the labels on various unsymmetric things are on the side which would face you if you're holding the thing right-handed. I've lost count of the number of times I pick stuff up on the opposite side of the handle just so I can look at the label.

I mean the solution would be to literally just label both sides.

do you think labels just grow on trees?

But then they might lose .10 per item!!!

0.10 cents maybe

I mean, I'm not left handed but... I still have a left hand and like to use it some times. :/

Some accessibility wins benefit everyone and it could be so easy.
