Can I state this in my resume or SOP?

So for around 3~4 months I've experienced 2 different microfluidic labs just for my interest. I haven't necessarily conducted research enough to say that I've done something or able to receive a LOR because my primary intent was to just to see how research is like in an engineering lab.

I've indeed done participated in a primary research lab for 2years but wasn't sure whether to include the experience I had for such a short period time in my SOP or resume.

Short answer: Yes, you should include it. It'll look good that you had some experience in engineering.

Yes, you can.  I would briefly mention why you sought those positions and what you gained from them if even just to have learned what kind of research you do not want to do.
