Full scientific laboratory report in the style of a scientific paper based on simulated data.

– 2,500 word laboratory report in the style of scientific paper on simulated data investigating the antioxidant activity of plant-derived polyphenols from dietary sources – Data will be provided for analysis but for this report you will also be required to * write a methods section, written in an appropriate style (formatted as you see in scientific papers). Specific details on methods applicable to sample preparation for the project areas you are working on can be provided. – the tests used to measure antioxidant activity and content will all be based on the same two assays: An NADH/NBT/PMS assay for superoxide scavenging Folin-Ciocalteu assay for total polyphenol concentration – you should be consistent with figure legends (excluded from word count), even if this means repetition -You can use both primary papers and review articles but should avoid over-reliance on reviews METHODS SECTION for lab report methods section – you have a section outlining the assay principle and assay set-up (essentially saying that the assay was ran with or without 10µL of test agent), you can then have a second short section on sample prepration, summarising relevant detail, you can be quite generic/succinct again condense all as one section/summary, rather than being so ‘linear’ and repeating this for each data set (avoid unnecessary repetition, the scientific method is giving some enough info. of how the exp was carried out but is not a series of step-by-step instructions as you might see in a lab protocol. have the FC method after you have covered the first test and sample prep, I think merging the different assay would be unclear, so better to separate these (condensing the method for sample prep is fine, as this is all “sample prep” but then separate “superoxide scavenging assay” and “Polyphenol assay” sections would be better The controls have 10uL extra buffer (or whatever the samples were extracted in, depending on the sample)… so the total assay volume is always 3mL https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gvpq_QCNk6fUjx05YJ5JYPU7806PxN9n/view?usp=sharing
