how to hold laboratory apparatus properly?

For Professors/Department Heads/Laboratory Managers etc. You guys think up research projects, apply for grants, and then employ research scientists and laboratory technicians. The research scientists collect the samples. The samples are then given to the laboratory technicians, who run assays, etc., turning samples into data, which they give to the research scientists. The research scientists then analyse the data and write the papers. So, a laboratory technician is a kind of alchemist, turning, for example, a blood sample into numbers representing, say, IGF1 content. The research scientists cannot plot blood on a graph, so without the laboratory technician no paper will be written or published. Publications improve your chances of getting further funding for further research projects. Therefore, I think my question deserves an answer.

I recently read that laboratory animals were injected with cancer-causing chemicals just to test about the effects of radiation from cell phones. Lab animals are being treated cruelly every day on twisted human experiments. Why should we make them suffer for our own technology that WE created? I think we could find another way to test radiation and shampoos and other things rather than on living creatures. Are you for stopping cruel abuse to laboratory animals?
