Lab writeups:

  • Week 1 Lab: Pipetting

    This was a lab review week. It covered standard lab practices. There’s nothing to note here aside from that review material from source and concepts below were reviewed. Source: https://thecrashcourse.com/courses/unit-conversion-significant-figures-crash-course-chemistry-2/ Concepts: Dilution Problems, Chemistry, Molarity & Concentration Examples, Formula & Equations

  • Week 2 Lab: Lab DNA Gel Art

    This lab covered gel art through restriction digests and gel electrophoresis As a remote participant, I reviewed the material.

  • Week 3 Lab: Lab Automation

    This lab, we were tasked with creating a design that could be generated by an OpenTrons Liquid Handling Robot. As a remote participant, I prototyped a design using the GUI at opentrons-art.rcdonovan.com. This resulted in a layered plus symbol shown below. The coordinates for generating such can be found here, courtesy of RC Donovan’s tool: sfgfp_points = [(-2.2, 6.6),(0, 6.6),(2.2, 6.6),(-2.2, 4.4),(2.2, 4.4),(-6.6, 2.2),(-4.4, 2.2),(-2.2, 2.2),(2.2, 2.2),(4.4, 2.2),(6.6, 2.2),(-6.6, 0),(6.6, 0),(-6.6, -2.2),(-4.4, -2.2),(-2.2, -2.2),(2.2, -2.2),(4.4, -2.2),(6.6, -2.2),(-2.2, -4.4),(2.2, -4.4),(-2.2, -6.6),(0, -6.6),(2.2, -6.6)] electra2_points = [(0, 4.4),(0, 2.2),(-4.4, 0),(-2.2, 0),(0, 0),(2.2, 0),(4.4, 0),(0, -2.2),(0, -4.4)] mrfp1_points = [(-4.4, 8.8),(-2.2, 8.8),(0, 8.8),(2.2, 8.8),(4.4, 8.8),(-4.4, 6.6),(4.4, 6.6),(-8.8, 4.4),(-6.6, 4.4),(-4.4, 4.4),(4.4, 4.4),(6.6, 4.4),(8.8, 4.4),(-8.8, 2.2),(8.8, 2.2),(-8.8, 0),(8.8, 0),(-8.8, -2.2),(8.8, -2.2),(-8.8, -4.4),(-6.6, -4.4),(-4.4, -4.4),(4.4, -4.4),(6.6, -4.4),(8.8, -4.4),(-4.4, -6.6),(4.4, -6.6),(-4.4, -8.8),(-2.2, -8.8),(0, -8.8),(2.2, -8.8),(4.4, -8.8)]
