Week 1 Lab: Introduction to Pipetting and Dilutions
Overview Date(s): 03/02/26 – 03/03/26 Notes: Reviewed lab materials outlined in ‘Overview’ protocol section (pipette types and tips, tubes, tube holders, and stock reagents) and concentration basics with Kate Carline (William & Mary Node TA). Discussed lab material functions and reviewed the basics of dilution math and pipetting technique. Supporting Picture(s): Part 1: Mixing Color Prepared tubes with red, yellow, and blue food coloring solution Marked 6 tubes with red, yellow, blue, red/yellow, blue/yellow, and red/blue combinations Added 500 uL to each each red, yellow, blue, red/yellow, blue/yellow, and red/blue combination solution tube See above – made combinations by mixing colors See above See above Dispersed concentrations onto wax paper to make design in lieu of petri plate Supporting Part 1 and Part 2 photos below
