BSTC Launches Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

We’re pleased to announce the launch of the BSTC Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)!!!

The Basic Science Trainee Committee (BSTC) has developed a comprehensive set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) tailored to the neuromuscular field, reflecting current best practices and expert consensus from specialists across Canada. These SOPs provide clear, standardized guidance for laboratories, clinics, and research programs involved in neuromuscular diagnostics and testing. By making them accessible on our website, the BSTC aims to promote consistency, reliability, and quality in neuromuscular care and research nationwide. This shared resource will help align practices across institutions, support trainees in developing technical and analytical skills, and strengthen the overall quality and reproducibility of lab work across Canada. Our SOP Library is now fully accessible through our Resource Hub.
