How Do I Do It?
1. For P4, learners must describe the procedures for storing scientific information in a laboratory information management system (LIMS). A prepared list of scientific data is provided below. Learners must decide which sets of information could be stored on a workplace record system.
2. For M4, learners must explain how scientific data and records are stored. Evidence can take the form of an essay or verbal presentation. Learners must also demonstrate an awareness...
