FA Quantification and Cell Viability Module's Notebook

June 2013

Week 4

 

June 25:

  • Prepared DMEM in TC room
  • Added FBS (Serum) & Antibiotics into DMEM

 

June 27:

  • Designed the experiment for testing FA concentration by GCMS

 

June 28:

  • HepG2 cell culturing (first generation)

July 2013

Week 1

 

July 2:

  • HepG2 cell passaging
  • Made sodium palmitate from powder to solution by 50% Ethanol

 

July 3:

  • Used GCMS to quantify the FA in the medium

 

July 4:

  • Passaged HepG2 cells
  • Changed medium for cell line
  • Searched for information of MTT assay and Transfection by lipofectamine
  • Got GCMS results for the last day: Not accurate/usable

 

July 5:

  • Repeated GCMS test again testing FA in medium and we made
  • Got the result of GCMS: Not accurate/usable

 

Week 2

 

July 8:

  • Passaged HepG2 cells
  • Used some HepG2 cells to extract genomic DNA

 

July 9:

  • Another try of GCMS with a gradient concentration of FA
  • Got the result of GCMS: Not match with the concentration we made

 

July 10:

  • Repeated GCMS: No accurate results
  • Changed medium for the cell line
  • Checked lipofectamine protocol

 

July 11:

  • GCMS again for the same sodium palmitate we made: No accurate results
  • Passaged HepG2 cell line

 

July 12:

  • Prepared reagents for MTT assay for cell viability test, protocols checked
  • Changed the medium of the cell line

 

Week 3

 

July 15:

  • Seeded HepG2 cells into 96-well plate for MTT cell viability test and adding FA
  • Seeded HepG2 cells into 96-well plate for transfection of PEGFP-N1

 

July 16:

  • Transfection of PEGFP-N1 into HepG2 cells
  • Passaged HepG2 cells

 

July 17:

  • Changed the medium after transfection had been done in 24 hours
  • Did MTT assay and getting result (adding FA in the wrong time, cannot be used)
  • Made new DMEM
  • Changed medium for the cell line

 

July 18:
