* the incubator is very erratic. I'm trying to keep the temperature at or below 37 C. It does not have a very sensitive control loop. I think it is designed to stay +/- 10 C its set point. It's really more of an oven. | |||

* E. coli transformation with red fluorescent protein. | |||
* Basic cleanliness techniques - all materials used were edible. We did not eat them :) | |||
* Competent cells, ampicillin, hot plate, shakers, test tubes, autoclave tape, glassware, pressure sterilizer, pipets, Pitri dishes obtained from industry sources and donations. | |||
* Concentration of ampicillin unknown, suspect pre-measured x1000. | |||
* Oven (incubator), refrigerators, meters, bucket, neoprene gloves, bleach (sterilizer) and scales from off-the-shelf and donation sources. | |||
* RFP plasmid obtained from old diybio kit. | |||
* Stepped through protocol thrice before doing real transformation. | |||
* Several times let cells to incubate on ice longer than protocol called for. | |||
* Used pressure sterilizer and propane frier to sterilize agar, glassware. | |||
* Temperature regulation of oven/ incubator a issue - try to keep as close to 37 C w/ o going over. Sometimes as cold as 28 C. | |||
* Made plenty of extra amp lb plates. | |||

what are the risks to us
what waste are we gonna generate
mitigation of community risks
Protocolbased on http://www.invivogen.com/PDF/LyoComp_GT116_TDS.pdf
