Last week, we noted that according a report in BioTechniques, there is a "replication crisis" that has gained traction in the scientific community over the past 10+ years.

"Basic researchers have shown the reproducibility of key data from the lab is low and there is a clear need to improve lab protocol and technique," the abstract states.

In consideration, we asked: How do you ensure the reproducibility of lab-scale batches? Here's what you said.
