Life Sciences lab classes explained

On Tuesday you will be using the centrifuge for the first time.  There are some very specific things you need to know about using a centrifuge, so here is a quick video showing you how.... plus, using a centrifuge is in your competency training, so this video will help you with that!  :)

This video walks you through how to carry out a serial dilution in the lab.  Serial dilutions will be coming up tomorrow, and again in later practicals  (plus serial dilutions are a part of your competency testing!),  so it is important for you to understand what is going on, and how to carry out a serial dilution. This video has demonstrated a series of 10 x dilutions.  You could have done a series of any kind of dilution (i.e. 2 x, 3 x, 4 x etc).  For different dilution series the volumes you use may change, but the basic principles of how to perform the serial dilution will be the same. I hope that helps you out
