Lab protocols

The charity has released a set of protocols that lab users should follow in order to properly use and maintain consumables and equipment it has provided.

The laboratory protocols also offer safety advice and complement the training videos that the charity has produced.

 

The charity provides hard copies of the protocols to its projects in a ring bound folder, designed to stand upright on a lab bench for ease of reference.
