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
