HOMEWORK!!! (this will make my workshop shorter)
- 1. You need to make 3% BSA in 10mM Acedic Acid. Do all the necessary calculations. (If you don't know where to start, don't be discouraged - we'll show you on Monday June 5th).
- 2. You need to make 2 liters of the following solution (all are liquids except for the salt): 10% glycerol, 0.9% NaCl, 0.01% Tween 20, 0.01% Tween 80. Show calculations.
Led by: Ana (10am-12pm)
Lab safety training with engineering group from 1pm - 5pm
Please email Karen to join group. All students must have completed lab safety training to work in the lab.
