Hello everyone.
I'm studying to become a laboratory analyst and I've recently began my studies in microbiology.
My studies began with chemistry and now that the focus in my studies has shifted to microbiology for a bit, I see a sudden drop in required accuracy in results of our analysis. I'm not sure if it's because of the easy-going attitude of some of my teachers or something else.
Is microbiological or biochemical analytics "less accurate" in general?
As in does it involve so many other variables in the calculations of macromolecule concentrations or in growth of bacterial colonies and such so all results are more or less suggestive in analysis and can't be taken as an "absolute truth"?
I know that most of the proteins and nucleotides shatter quite easily if exposed to mechanical damage and/or slightly higher temperatures but most of the time it requires you to be quite careless to actually screw up.
Apologies for any spelling mistakes, english isn't my native language :)
