LORI- Below is a blank (you will have to massage the fonts to look nice,
email sterilized all my fonts).  NAACLS template that you use to write any
procedure for your laboratory manual. This is what NAACLS recommends. You
can delete any sections that don't apply to the procedure. The most
important is the Principle and of course the stepwise. Been there, Done that
:-))) Good luck.
