I'm sorry but you're doing a mistake.
the Caduceus (the icon with wings, rod and snake) is a MEDICAL icon. You can read about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caduceus (WIKIPEDIA) and if you search "LABORATORY SCIENCE" on google, you can find also the same logo.
I know that Caduceus sometimes is used instead the Rod of Asclepius (the real Medicine icon), if you want I can invert it.
