Hi,
Firstly the test equipment are extremely important. This includes voltmeters, ammeters or multimeters, oscilloscopes, LCR meters, ESR meter, etc. The brand and model depend on your budget. I have a multimeter from Sanwa, LCR meter from GW Instek and oscilloscope I don't remember, but it's some Taiwanese company, ESR meter some Portugese company.

Hope this helps.
Tahmid.

Some instruments, tools and supplies are universal to almost every lab setup. Most of us wait until a need arises to buy specialized equipment. Much depends on budget and specialty. I won't make a list but mention some things that I think are often overlooked. Lighting should be bright and white like an operating theater. You'll probably have a magnifier light but consider a head-mounted magna visor that allows you to move around without losing binocular vision. Include an isolation transformer power strip for safety. I've gotten hot solder in my eyes before so I believe in safety glasses when soldering or snipping leads. A small kitchen fire extinguisher can save you a lot of trouble if you get a little solvent fire. It's worth some effort and expense to get a comfortable chair or stool. With so many CMOS circuits around now, plan some ESD protection into the flooring and bench with mats and convenient ground strap connections. Spend freely on hand tools that you'll use very frequently and save on specialty items.
