Are you (or your student) new to molecular lab work? Could you (or they) benefit from an introduction to operating in a genetics lab?

The EBL at ANU is offering a three-day basic introduction course to molecular lab fundamentals for students without a strong genetics/molecular undergrad or background.

The course will cost $75 to cover reagents.

Schedule

Day 1

• Introduction to lab operations
• PPE (Personal protective equipment)
• Molarity and how to make a chemical solution Good pipetting practice.
• Intro to agarose gels
• DNA Extraction Method 1: Silica column based kit

Day 2

• DNA Extraction Method 2: Phenol / Chloroform DNA Quantitation
• Qubit fluorometer
• Nanodrop spectrophotometer

Day 3

• PCR Amplification Run agarose gels:
• DNA extractions and PCRs

Note: This workshop is NOT designed for those students who are doing a predominantly molecular project and have had molec / genetics lab training at undergrad level, but rather students who have a more ecological /morphological background and are either new to genetics or who have a small genetic component to their project.

If you are interested in participating in the workshop, please contact Niccy Aitken to register.
