Field procedures
Laboratory procedures
Each kit moves from field to lab with chain-of-custody notes, filtration steps, and microscope verification.
SOPs accompany each bucket with reminders about contamination control and PPE.
Replicate jars and field blanks travel with samples for data validation.
Lab notes are digitized alongside microscope images before data release.
