Find and share SRL Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
This SRL SOP Repository is intended to be a resource for labs to share their SOPs related to different aspects of operation, management, and safety in SRLs.
Standard Operating Procedures ensure the integrity, quality, consistency, reproducibility, and reconstruction of a repetitive process. This is particularly important in an SRL setting where uniformity needs to be maintained between multiple staff members across various tasks (i.e. training, biosafety, QC and instrument operations).
Submissions are reviewed by the SRL Services Committee prior to being uploaded but are not considered official or ISAC approved— they are intended as examples only. The Repository is currently hosted on the Internet Archive – please feel free to create your own account on the website to favorite or comment on submitted SOPs.
Browse the Repository
The repository is a work in progress. It is being temporarily hosted on the committee’s account on the Internet Archive, a non-profit internet library. The committee is working with ISAC to eventually create our own interface accessible on the ISAC-net website.
Submit your SOPs
Before you upload your SOP documents make sure to redact any sensitive information (name, phone numbers, etc). You may also want to add a watermark to your SOP – a guide to adding watermarks using Word can be found here. Please contact us if you cannot access this form.
How to write a good SOP?
Inspiration can be found in section 1.2 of the Flow Cytometry SRL Best Practices Cytometry Part A paper published by Barsky et al (Cytometry Part A 89A:1017-1030, 2016), and a SOP template can be found in the supplementary data or on the SRL SOP Repository.
