Lab and research data.
Raw results with the judgement calls, retests and notes show how real analysis gets done.
What tends to be useful
- Test and assay results with the methods and notes behind them
- Instrument outputs linked to samples and reports
- Quality and calibration records
What usually stays out, or needs care
- Patient and clinical data, and other health information: usually excluded
- Data owned by clients or research sponsors under contract
- Anything under ethics approvals or consent terms that don’t allow reuse
