We have detailed size charts to help you choose! Find them in the links above by the product photos.

What if it doesn't fit?

We publish detailed size charts to make sure you find the right fit the first time. You just need to check it against your own measurements. However, the lab coats can be returned or exchanged if you cover the shipping and restocking cost (usually around $12 total in the USA).

Will my lab accept these?

Check with your lab safety officer about hazards, laundering details, and any compliance markings you may need (FR, CE, etc.) For more details, visit our Lab Coat Safety & Care FAQ Page.

Group orders, embroidery, and POs

We can take group orders to save on shipping costs and we can accept Purchase Orders for a minimum of 8 lab coats. We will also offer embroidery options before shipping. See our group orders page for more details.

The "Curie" Women's Black Cotton Scientist Lab Coat

Name: The Curie - Women's Cotton Lab Coat (Black)
Brand: Genius Lab Gear
SKU: LCPWBL02-XXS
Price: 59.95 USD
Availability: InStock

This lab coat is made from 100% cotton and all-metal snaps, which is accepted in most standard laboratory environments including introductory chemistry and biology lab classes. Please check with your lab safety officer for compatibility.

Fire:

100% Cotton provides better protection against flames than polyester or poly-cotton mixtures because polyester will melt to your skin and prevent emergency lab coat removal. 100% cotton is not “FR”, “flame-retardant” or “fire-proof”, and will burn slowly if exposed to intense flames. If your lab requires “FR” lab coats, get on our email list for our future release with flame retardant materials.

Acids:

Most lab coat materials, including 100% cotton, absorb strong acids and may develop holes from exposure. Always wear a neoprene, rubber, or PVC apron and long acid-resistant gloves on top of your lab coat when handling strong acids.

For more details, visit our Lab Coat Safety & Care FAQ Page.

2nd Coat

I already posted a rave review for the white coat, but I forgot to add that this style is the first one that hasn’t looked ridiculous on me. I need a long coat for clinicals and as a person with a small waist and big butt and hips, everything I tried up to this point looked terrible. I purchased a black one too just for fun. LOVE. Thanks for keeping the curvy girlies in mind

Best Lab Coats Ever!

If I had to find a flaw, they get pretty toasty pretty quickly. Other than that, they're functional and flattering. We are very pleased.

A Science Barbie’s dream come true!

I am absolutely thrilled with this purchase!! I have been looking everywhere for a black lab coat that isn’t a shapeless nightmare, and this delivered beyond my expectations. It’s so functional and makes me feel fabulous too! 5’8, 150lbs, ordered a Medium in black. The embroidery was a lovely personal touch and came out great!

Great Quality!

"The Curie" Lab Coat

Named after Dr. Marie Curie (Sklodowska), the brilliant chemist, physicist, and two-time Nobel Prize Winner for her research in radioactivity.

This lab coat embodies the pioneering and fearless spirit of Dr. Curie: unafraid to challenge the status quo and striving to give women opportunities to succeed in scientific research.

Every stitch is designed for scientists: from chemistry to microbiology to genomics, we're thinking of how your daily needs are different from doctors.

Features that Make research effortless

Hidden Adjustable Belt

Use the stitched-in soft cotton belt to pull the waist in up to 8 inches to fit your figure. The extra fabric folds neatly at your sides so you can look professional and feel confident in your work.

First reactions from the Curie Lab Coat

Kristen, Chemistry Educator

"As a small woman, lab coats have never fit well. The sleeves are long and get wet, when rolled they get caught, the openings don’t line up with pockets in my attire, and the labs coats are never flattering. The Curie Lab Coat by Genius Lab Gear fixes all those problems with arm cuffs, invisible belts, and sizing that is made for my stature. It’s not only flattering, it’s crisp white and has so many amazing pockets and loops to solve problems I didn’t even realize I had! I can hold all my classroom supplies from small iPads to white board markers and it doesn’t feel clunky and I still look very professional."

Anna, Registered Dental Hygienist

"This lab coat is perfection! Great pockets, waist adjustability, darting and pleats. I look professional and feel protected by the knit cuffs and high collar. The snaps are strong and secure and I have plenty of room to stash my phone, pens, magnification loupes, and note pads. I have plenty of room to move and stretch and reach for items. I find this true to size. I ordered a 2X and wear a size 14 in women's clothes. My other lab coats are a Large or XL. This may run slightly smaller but works great for my hourglass figure. The form and function, fabrication and design are better than some of the lab coats I own that cost 3x as much."

Nadja, Lab Research Manager

"When I tried on my lab coat for the first time, I immediately fell in love. It fits perfectly. I am small and it has previously been challenging to find a lab coat because nothing fit. All lab coats were wide, long, big, and looked terrible. Instead this lab coat is tailored, not too long, not too short, gives enough room, and the material is high-quality. I cannot get over the zippers on both sides and all the hidden pockets. Such attention to detail can only be a result of lots of passion, effort, and dedication. The lab coat feels professional, safe, AND stylish...like a real outfit. The compliments I receive make me feel like a celebrity. I recommend this most beautiful lab coat ever to everyone!
