Dilution and ELISA model submission

Today's goal: Assemble your two paper-model records into one report that another reader can check, and state plainly what the report can and cannot support.

What a finished product looks like

This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.

Optional support, never a part of this report
Completes: optional support linked from the September 17 lesson; never copied into the assigned 1000 units/mL record

The separate 800 ng/mL 1:2 worked model from September 17 shows the method with different numbers and a different unit. It is optional support on the portal, not a part of this report.

optional nonnumeric method support linked from the September 18 lesson; not a well answer

Find the first unchecked box on Check 1 or Check 2. Fix that item on your own record and keep going in order. Part 3 comes last. Do not start a second report and do not add a graph.

Why this matters

This model shows the level of evidence and organization needed to complete: optional support linked from the September 17 lesson; never copied into the assigned 1000 units/mL record

Build yours step by step
  1. State the question and method.
  2. Present the observations and data with units.
  3. Explain the result, limitations, and next investigation.
Change it for a new task

Keep the structure. Replace the question, facts, measurements, and evidence. Then recheck units, vocabulary, and whether the conclusion goes beyond the evidence.

Also due today: Do not submit twice, and do not upload the September 17 or 18 work to its old assignment again.

If you cannot get in, see Mr. Mendoza. Do not skip the work.

Claim ceiling: Today is a submission and consolidation day. No solution, plate, reagent or equipment is used, and the report says so. The finished report never claims a solution, an assay, an observation, a measurement or a diagnosis.

WebXam problem for today's skill

One exam-style question that uses exactly what you practiced today. Try it before you reveal the answer, then read why each choice is right or wrong.

WebXam-style domain: Molecular and Genetic TechnologySelf-check skill: Optional single check, not an alternate work plan
Well 4 is labeled Nearly clear and ~0.1 ng/mL. What can your report say about that row?

Tap an answer to see the full explanation. Nothing is recorded or graded.

Why this practice matters

It builds this reusable test skill: Optional single check, not an alternate work plan.

Use it on a new WebXam question
  1. Name the concept or data pattern being tested.
  2. Cross out choices that violate that rule or the evidence.
  3. Justify the best remaining choice before checking the answer.
