The Standards of Practice (SOPs) on this page are intended for use by experienced laboratory personnel. Some contributions lend themselves to scientific rigor, where material presented is supported by peer-reviewed literature. Other contributions are based, out of necessity, on the collective experience of professionals, because relevant scientific literature is scant or non-existent. The contributors and site managers cannot be, and are not, legally, financially or in any other way, responsible for the application of techniques described. When undertaking any procedures or techniques outlined in an SOP, it is up to individual workers to assess the unique circumstances of their situation, apply common sense, and subsequently apply any procedures or techniques at their own risk.
