Training activity information

Details

Observe extraction of DNA and/or RNA from samples, and reflect on the process

Type

Observational training activity (OTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.

Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.

Considerations

  • Reflect on the process, including:
    • The application of extraction methods to different sample types
    • The downstream implications of extraction
    • Quality assessment of the extracted DNA/RNA
