Source selection and claim boundaries
- Exact product instructions are used for product-specific conditions.
- Public cell-bank and institutional guidance support general laboratory practice.
- Peer-reviewed methods and consensus papers support broader methodological claims.
- AI output is never cited as factual evidence.
- A citation must support the nearby claim rather than the topic in general.
How recommendations are written
General parameters are described as starting points or examples only when appropriate. Recommendations should state what to observe and what finding justifies a change. Uncertainty and scope limits are disclosed rather than hidden behind confident wording.
AI-assistance boundary
AI may assist with structure, code, translation drafts, consistency checks and verification planning. It is not an author of record, a scientific reviewer or a source. Factual content should be checked against appropriate documents before publication.
The optional assistant is deliberately excluded from the sitemap and marked noindex because its generated responses are not maintained editorial pages.
Advertising independence and corrections
Advertising must not be disguised as navigation, calculators, protocol recommendations or source citations. Advertisers do not determine laboratory conclusions.
Substantive corrections should update the affected page and, where the change alters an experimental decision, record the reason and source used.
