Week 1 Lab: Pipetting

First time in a wet lab very exciting!

I learned about the different pipette ranges: P20 1–20 µL, P200 20–200 µL, P1000 100–1000 µL and when to use each one appropriately.

I also practiced proper pipetting technique holding the pipette vertically identifying the first and second stops when pressing the plunger and carefully controlling the release to ensure accurate and precise liquid handling.

I got a sneak peek at gel electrophoresis and how it can be used to separate DNA fragments.
