August 15

WET LAB SESSION

OBJECTIVE: The results were not expected, perhaps due to the quality of cloranphenicol, for this reason we decided to prepare this antibiotic again. 1. Cloranphenicol preparation. 2. After preparing this antibiotic proceeded to prepare the control samples in 50 mL falcon tubes. 3. We use the concentration of 9.7 L of cloranphenicol by 10 mL of LB liquid. 4. We prepared two samples (control + and control -). 5. In each tube was added 5 mL of LB liquid. This LB containing an appropriate concentration of antibiotic.

WET LAB

(Wet lab morning session)

OBJECTIVE:: Electrophoresis • Preparation of 1% agarose. • Wet the walls of the chamber. • In a 70 mL Erlenmeyer flask was added agarose and put a minute in the microwave, then take it off shake it and put it in the microwave 20 seconds. Ethidium bromide • Put in the microwave and cooled with tap water to a temperature between 60 ° C and 70 º C. • Put 2.5 to 5 micolitros Ethidium bromide. We mix before pouring it into the camera. • Once the gel solidified cover it with TAE (1X). (A) • Add 35μL of ultra-filtered water the plasmids were at 65.5 ° C. • We eliminate the droplets that were on the walls with the sping-down applied to the tubes. • We put the tubes in the microwave 5 minutes. • We added loading buffer which was frozen thawed How? • Put dots of paper loading buffer. • Of the 35 uL of plasmid take 10 mL (B). • Re mix in the dots and then the wells. • A and B meet. Plasmid preparation and gel electrophoresis. • The plasmids with the loading buffer in the wells

o Note: It is important to place the (-) side of the DNA

• Run the gel for 3 hours. • The plasmids containing épendor labeled with 1, 2, 3 are kept the cooler den -81 º C (they were 6 tubes).

o Note: We make sure that the test is running if you notice bubbles on the side of the electrodes.

WET LAB

Electrophoresis of the BBa_K381001.

(Wet Lab session : afternoon)

OBJECTIVE: Results of the electrophoresis new transilluminator

1. Place the gel on the transilluminator. 2. We turned on the computer and then ultraviolet light button. 3. Graduate wavelength at 600 nm.

old transilluminator

1. Place the gel in the chamber with the door pisillos. 2. We closed the door and the power button to position 1. 3. White light lit to accommodate the gel in a position to occupy the entire screen. 4. After placing the gel in the correct position and turn off the white light with the camera turned on the UV light. 5. Once we had the gel in position and intensity of light with a better view to stop the gel, we proceeded to take the picture with the smallest team is on the right side of the old transilluminator.
