Biology – 2 Day

Description

In this 2-day biology course, students will learn lab safety and proper use of equipment, how to use an autoclave to sterilize bacterial culture media, how to make petri dishes with agar for bacterial culture, and how to inoculate GFP plasmid for overnight growth. They will be performing a GFP Plasmid mini prep, running bacterial cells through a centrifuge, and will be isolating and purifying plasmid DNA. They will make and run agarose gel electrophoresis for confirmation of DNA isolation and view their results on a trans-illuminator.
