LN2 Container

  • Working with LN2 yesterday to flash freeze the tubulin made us realize that a container to transport it into the lab would be much more useful
    • Very apparent when trying to haul it in with the flat, shallow, red ice bucket and having it almost spill everywhere
  • For $3-500, it did not seem like a worthy investment
  • Instead, today, we will take the black ice buckets and fill them with LN2, then transfer it in the lab as needed
    • useful the the spigot is only ~2m away from the back door
      • Possible to get a feed inside the lab? (just a thought)

Videos from yesterday

  • I am moving them to the webpub as koch advised me to.
  • Moving to \\controller\webpub\files\movies\MT movies
  • Should be accessible via kochlab.org

Video Card

  • The subject of videos reminds me that I should go and make sure Tamra gets my order in
  • I guess i'm really good at catching her when she's not around
    • will send an email instead

KochLab Inventory

  • Koch wants me to go over the inventory page and see what else needs to be inventoried
  • something we may want to add as inventory are:
    • Wetlab shelves
    • The fridge (VWR next to -80c freezer)
    • Fume hood
  • I guess that means I will need to make new templates to go with the new inventory areas

Wetlab shelves

  • I want to me a naming convention for these shelves
    • Looking at the shelves with your back to the main sink towards the fume hood
    • Upper left 1, below that 2, upper right 3, below that 4
    • please also mention if it is in front or back
      • i.e ph7 buffer Wetlab shelf 2 front

New Templates

  • I made 3 new templates for the inventory page
  • Mark a page with the following templates to indicate where it is
  • example marking {{KL 80|b=shelf 2}}
    • Reorders {{Reorder}}{{KL Inv}}
    • -20c {{KL 20}}
    • -80c {{KL 80}}. Also include |b=black or |b=shelf 2 for location
    • VWR fridge {{KL VWR}}. Also include |s=left or |s=right to indicate the side of the fridge it is in
    • Wet Lab {{KL WL}}. Also include |s=1 or |shelf=2 for shelf spot (see convention above)
    • Fume Hood {{KL FH}}

Kinesin + tubes

  • we polymerized another aliquot of the RMTs
  • Koch and brigette made a new stock of BRB80T
  • I tested the tubes with an old AF we used yesterday and refroze
    • from what we can tell, it works ok, but not as good
      • fades faster + there are broken tubes floating around
  • thawing a new AF to test this theory
  • koch has also made the new computer the camera computer, so we are playing with that now
