This page is under construction.


One of the goals of our lab is to share protocols in a form that makes it as easy as possible for other labs to build off of them. These will be a combination of protocols that we will develop and also those that Steve has developed in the past but has not had a good opportunity to distribute yet. If any of the following protocols are of particular interest, drop us a line or make a note on the discussion page! We also want to share software applications and computational modules (mostly LabVIEW) that would be useful to others.

General Lab Techniques

Every lab has its own standards when it relates to lab safety, cleanliness, and shared equipment protocols. Below we've documented our specific techniques with regards to these general lab standards:
