We started the day by collecting the laptops and started on our online research and blog entry! We are stilll undecided as to what topic to choose for our presentation next friday but we are slowly getting there (:
We then continued on the experiment we made a few days back to collect the bacteria cells we made from the medium
Pipetting the solution into cuvettes to test its light absorbance
Pouring the solution into different containers to put them in a centrifuge
Putting the container on the weighing scale and weighing them because all the four different containers have to be of the same mass!
Placing them into the big centrifuge!
How the containers look like after being spun in the centrifuge
Pouring the supernatant back into the flask before disposal
Scooping out the pellet using a scalpel
Weighing the pellet!
We then diluted the pellet by pouring the buffer solution made from day 1 and it dissolved almost instantly!
Afterwhich, we proceeded to use the automatic pipette as they are not found in our colleges and called it a day!
