Minimizing Contamination

If left unchecked, contamination can lead to countless hours and dollars wasted. Vigilance must be maintained throughout any laboratory process to ensure results are free from chemical and biological contaminants. This can mean purchasing equipment with built-in cleaning and surveillance features, ensuring experimental setup is done according to protocol, setting up measures to check your process and results, and maintaining a clean environment throughout. Check back regularly for resources to help you avoid contamination throughout your lab’s workflows.
