- Euglenozoa AToL
Are you a Lab Assistant with free time on your hands?
- keep up with washing, drying and autoclaving the glass volumetric pipets so we don't run out (5, 10, 25mL)
- put cotton in the tops of pasteur pipets and fill the containers (by the dishwashing station) and autoclave them
- Make any media that needs to be made (generally AF-6 Medium, ESNW or Hay Infusion)
- Autoclave media using the liquid cycle (be sure you label with autoclave tape)
- Using sterile technique, add any additional ingredients to complete media post-autoclaving (eg. vitamins)
- Wash test tubes, media containers and their respective caps (keep LIVE and FIX glassware separated)
- Autoclave the test tubes, media containers, 9" pasteur pipets, pipet tip box(es), volumetric pipets, etc. in appropriate containers with containers underneath if available
- Using sterile techniqe, add media to the autoclaved tubes or sterile culture flasks
- Check and make notes of cultures without opening the tubes or culture flasks using the appropriate microscopes. Some cultures need to be checked daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly depending on their growth patterns.
- Make transfers of healthy cultures (all culture information can be found on the Cumulative Culture Inventory.xls sheet on the Farmer Lab PC desktop)
- tubes
- big/small flasks
- Spin down log phase cells in big culture flasks and rejuvenate with fresh media (aseptically)
- Extract DNA from concentrated cells and update the DNA.xls sheet
- Qualify/Quantify DNA on Nanodrop
- Maintain molecular buffers, reagents
- Maintain at least one carboy of DI water
- Keep everything clean and organized
- Ask if anyone in the lab needs anything done
