Pocket_Lab 1.0

PocketLab offers a comprehensive suite of resources, including videos, articles, and concise quizzes, aimed at teaching foundational laboratory techniques. Unlike many standard protocols that emphasize procedural steps, PocketLab enhances learning by focusing on how to interact with laboratory equipment and achieve technically proficient outcomes.

The platform applies the principle of retrieval practice in its quizzes, suggesting that engaging with these assessments not only evaluates knowledge but also bolsters learning retention.

This iteration of PocketLab covers a range of essential techniques:

• Lab Equipment
• Lab Maintenance
• Solutions
• Microscopy
• BCA Assay
• Spectrophotometry

• SDS-PAGE
• Nucleic Acid Purification

PocketLab is freely accessible to all users and is managed by Instant Library, a nonprofit organization committed to developing biomedical educational curricula delivered through mobile applications.
