Bacteria
Master Plate
Created on XX/08/2014 from liquid culture, which again was created from one motile colony of the original master plate.
The original master plate again was created from glycerol stock of RP437 E. Coli.
Liquid Colony
Created on 19/08/2014
Suspended a few colonies from Master Plate into 1ml of LB media.
RP437 Strain
After reviving this strain, test on soft agar plates and pick a colony that is motile and chemotactic because nonmotile variants arise in room temperature stab-cultures.
Microfluidics Devices
Leveling Petri Dish
Problem: Oven is not even, the PDMS stamps therefore will be to thin at one side or the fluid even leaks over the waver and the stamp will be to thin everywhere.
Solution: Filling up a Petri Dish with ~20ml PDMS and curing it in the oven (lower rack, placing dish at the very back on the right wall with the marker pointing perpendicular to the backwall).
The fluid's plane will be arranged perpendicular to the gravitational force eventually.
Future petri dishes with PDMS then can be placed on top of this device.
