Otto: she has her own set of SOPs, every analyst has their own
Combrink: you look at the results? And you don't go back to the process to see if it was done correctly
Otto: at our level of expertise, you should be able to follow the process according to SOPs
Otto: confidently stating that nothing has gone wrong in the process
Otto: says defense must give an e.g. of how result can be wrong if SOP was followed
Otto:saying very firmly she wants an e.g of non- conformance to SOP
Adv Combrink: you said if incorrect result due to SOP not being followed, it cannot be accepted

Combrink seems to be getting to his point:
Otto did not do the tests herself. Team analysts have done tests.
Otto comes back hard. 'Our analysts are skilled in their field and nothing has gone wrong in any of the processes.'
Otto: SOPs are there to be followed. We will pick up error if SOP is not followed.
Combrink: yes but a human hand must say the SOPs weren't followed. Otto: 'We're going around in circles.'
Combrink says he will leave this aspect for a moment. He will come back to SOPs and corrections at a later stage.
