Experimental records are the basis for repeating and verifying existing experimental results.

Experimental records are evidence for the identification and inspection of scientific research results.

Good experimental records are helpful for personal growth and scientific research work

Good experimental records help the smooth progress of scientific research projects

Source, quantity, quality and other information of materials

Experimental records cannot be modified or erased at will. If corrections are needed due to clerical errors or other reasons, it is recommended to use a unified method of underlining to indicate deletions. Make modifications while ensuring that the modified content is visible, and then write the revised factual content and attach it. Reason for modification shall be submitted to the person in charge for signature

Experiment records should be detailed and logical, enabling others to understand and repeat the recorded experiments and obtain corresponding experimental results after reading the records.

Reasons for failed experiments should be analyzed

New experimental ideas should be recorded promptly and the source of inspiration should be noted.

Reagent manufacturer, configuration date, formula and other information

Try to record the day's experiments on the same day instead of accumulating them for many days and recording them together to avoid forgetting or misremembering the experimental contents and making the experimental records more coherent and credible.

If an experiment cannot be recorded continuously due to a long cycle and other experiments are interspersed, the page number for each experiment should be indicated.

Use a dark pen of the same color to record

Do not leave large blank areas or pages between each record to avoid the suspicion of subsequent additions.

When the experimental record involves electronic data (such as a large amount of raw data, pictures, videos, biochemical analysis), the file name and storage path should be indicated in the record book. The names of similar files should be unified, such as the experimental content and experimental time (including at least the year and month). day), electronic data should be classified and sorted, and backed up and saved.

When re-recording the same experimental method that has been recorded in the same experimental notebook, the detailed steps do not need to be recorded, but the reference location needs to be quoted and marked.

The first few pages of the experimental notebook should be retained as a table of contents. Important methods and results should be cataloged for easy retrieval.

Except for on-site records, etc., experimental notebooks are generally not allowed to be taken out of the laboratory. Loss and replacement must be reported to the instructor and other responsible persons, and must be handed over for archiving before leaving.

The experimental record book should record the relevant content of the experiment. It does not need to include reading notes, schedules, and comments. However, it can record references containing important experimental methods, research ideas, and the design of the experiment.
