In general, you should test run your experiments on me prior to recruitment. If I am too busy, I may assign a senior lab member to run it through prior to receiving approval. Often in the beginning of a lab we are solving complex technical problems. These problems or similar problems have a way to sneaking back up. Thus, keeping thorough documentation is key to ensuring you or other lab members can quickly move through problem solving steps.
