21Download the current intake workbook from the protocol page. Complete its

22Conditions, Reaction Components, and Varied Levels tabs with optics, gain strategy,

23volumes, buffer, incubation, reagent sources, standards, controls, and acceptance

24criteria. Confirm reader compatibility and procurement lead time.

26Ginkgo supplies raw RFU CSV data, per-level precision, control metrics, and execution

27QC. The customer determines whether the assay meets its scientific acceptance

28criteria; Ginkgo's execution QC is not a biological pass/fail certification.
