user69: We already have experimental-design.  However there are a lot of questions that don't seem to fit that tag but would all be united by something along the lines of experimental-procedure.
For example:

When collecting cell lysates for a Western blot, how do I induce di-sulfide bonds?
How long does it take to stain cells?
What temperature should mammalian B-Cells be stored at outside of the incubator?
How long can E. coli stocks be stored at -20°C?
Alternatives to ethidium bromide for staining small nucleic acids?
How long can I store extracted RNA?
How can I avoid digesting protein bound DNA

I'm sure that there are many more.
Do we feel that this would be a good tag to have?

user-1: I think that this is a good idea. Not only can we then organize the questions based on specialty but also that it pertains to experiemntal procedures (or specific aspects therein).

user389: Since I've asked half of those questions and intent on asking more, perhaps "protocols"?
As an aside, isn't this website supposed to be an improve bio-protocols forum?
