Standard Operating Procedure for Example Device

This template provides the structure for any SOP. Please add all the necessary sections. Note that, the section General Procedure is for an overview. An experiment must be described exhaustively in Experiment Procedures, thus redundancy may be necessary. Moreover, for any experiment, there needs to be a project-independent description. in Experiment Procedures and project-specific variations are linked in the beginning of the respective section.

Before publishing the SOP for a device, delete any examples and italic descriptions.

For creating neat tables, you can use a Online Table Generator.
