Protocol Writing — Reproducible Lab Protocols & SOPs

Exact quantities: &quot;Add 2.5 mL&quot; not &quot;add some&quot;
Catalog numbers: Every reagent identified by manufacturer and catalog number
Time precision: &quot;Incubate for 30 min at 37°C&quot; not &quot;incubate for a while&quot;
Critical steps: Mark steps where deviation causes failure
Troubleshooting table: Common problems and solutions
Version control: Track changes between protocol versions

Overview

Write clear, reproducible experimental protocols and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for any scientific discipline.

Title and Version — Protocol name, version number, date, author
Purpose — What this protocol achieves and when to use it
Safety — Hazards, PPE requirements, waste disposal
Materials — Exact reagents (catalog numbers, lot numbers), equipment, consumables
Preparation — Buffer recipes, stock solutions, equipment setup
Procedure — Numbered steps with exact quantities, temperatures, times, speeds
Quality Control — Expected results, acceptance criteria, troubleshooting
Data Recording — What to record, where, in what format
— Published methods this protocol is based on
