| Section I: Overview of the essentials of research |
|
|
This section gives an insight into the proper preparation and storage of buffers and reagents. Most laboratories lack formal programs to train students on proper technique of pipetting. This section also helps in developing operator pipetting proficiency and consistency in single-channel and multi-channel pipetting, to minimize pipetting errors.
