Data Collection Reminders: Take Pictures!
When we are out in the field, there are a lot of small tasks to keep track of. One commonly missed step is taking pictures of both the fully processed Quantab Strip and pH Strip as well as your completed data sheet. These images are critical to the quality control check and help us to ensure that the data is being collected properly and your supplies are functioning correctly!
