To Do
- More OT
- Kinesin stuff?
- W/e grads need
- Nanodrop
OT
- Andy was working on aligning the periscope this morning
- He got the beam expander aligned earlier
KochLab-04
- I tried to hookup Kochlab-04 near the printer
- Since we moved the router to accomodate Kochlab-daq2, there is not an ethernet wire long enough to hookup Kochlab-03 to the internet
- With some strategic maneuvering, I was able to get the wire to stretch the distance
- There are alot of blue cords running around, I sure hope that the fire inspection next week will go ok
Nanodrops
- Koch asked me to try to price out some nanodrops for the lab
- The site I found on google (www.nanodrops.com) is the site for Thermo Scientific
- According to the site, they have 4 types of drops
- Nanodrop 2000
- very fast measurements (5s)
- low wavelength (205nm)
- Min Sample .5ul
- Higher concentration measurement capability up to 15,000 ng/µl (dsDNA)
- Looks like it only has a Micro-Volume Pedestal, no curvettes
- Nanodrop 2000c
- Micro volume pedestal or use standard curvettes
- Very median product
- UV-Vis light
- Nanodrop 8000
- Min sample 1uL
- Can do 8 at a time
- High throughput
- Great for multiple users at the same time
- Computer programmable
- Nanodrop 3300
- Min sample 1uL
- Uses florescence, broad range
- Quote requested. Should be in, in a day or 2. I'm gone for the rest of the week, so I can report on this Monday.
- Sending them an email asking them to CC sjkoch@unm.edu (should have done that in the main quote, oh well)
- VWR has a similar product they call the NanoVue
- Wavelength 200-1100nm
- Samples .5ul-5ul
- Uses a sample plate
- With wireless connectivity: Price $9347.00
Pricing from Thermo
- The sales rep from Thermo got back to me really quickly
Ammonium persulfate
- We have a bottle in the lab that Andy wants us to get rid of
- He asked me to find Dan Bryant to see what we can do
- Dan is a really hard guy to locate
- I walked around and went to his office, but did not see him
- As such, I will send him an email
- I will be out of the lab tomorrow and Friday, so I will have dan talk to Andy as well
- I got a reply, apparently there is a chemical disposal form I need to fill out and then I can place the container in shipping and receiving for someone to come a pick it up at some undermined time.
- I found Rick Bradley and he helped me dispose of the chemical
- The forms are in the clean room offices (NE corner of the building)
- Fill one out, peel off the back, stick it to the bottle and a tech will escort you to the shipping/rec room
- In the room you sign in the chemical on a sheet to your right as you enter the door
- At the end of the room on your right is a door to the chem stores
- Drop off your labeled chemical in the proper bin for disposal!
