The following table describes different types of errors and gives examples.
Description | Example | |||||
Reoccuring errors | Experiment can often not be performed due to missing consumables | New researchers use equipment wrongly | Strong bleeding during surgery | Injection fluid is coming out again | Positive control in experiment forgotten | Pipetting error |
Sudden errors that can be fixed or vanish again | Contamination in cell culture | pH-meter not calibrated due to technician on sick leave | 96 well plate dropped | |||
Errors that are inherent to the process and influence the outcome | Uncontrolable, not-measured differences in study subjects, e.g. genetic differences | positive control does not exist for this type of experiment | Equipment not sensitive enough or with a big variance |
