Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who are we?
We are post-doctoral researchers/junior principle investigators in academic institutes and pharmaceutical companies.
2.Why is the website unique?
During the past several years, we have accumulated a large number of 'working' protocols from plasmid miniprep to antibody generation, from immunohistochemistry to transgenic mouse generation. Here we consolidate all what we have tested and present in this website. There are several other excellent online protocol websites. However, we believe ours is unique in that we only add the protocols which have been substantially tested. We mean to make this site a place you can trust.
3. Why do we do this?
Most of us just went through painful PhD/post-doc studies. We all appreciate how important it is of a 'working' protocol. We all have the experiences as trapped in particular technical difficulties month by month. We would like to share what we know and hope your experiments work at the first time so you can save more time for other things.
We will update the protocols periodically and publish PDF file for the entire website each year. Feel free to distribute the PDF file when it is available.
4. Is is commercial website?
No.
5. Can we provide protocols?
Yes. I am sure you have a lot. Please contact us. We will add you into our collaborating team and grant you the permission to add/edit protocols.
6. Can we add comment?
We welcome comments. We also encourange discussion of any scientific/technical problems in our forum.
7. How do I cite this website?
Please cite our website as reference in your scientific publications.
