Protocol Requirements

Important: Every paper must include or link to detailed protocols

Protocols must contain:

  • Safety considerations and precautions

The platform automatically generates the bill of materials from your protocol steps.

Case Studies

You may include multiple case studies demonstrating:

Real-world applications of your protocol
