- Reviewed results for the T4 gradient. We are having issues getting the T4 to band. When we remove the gradient after centrifuging we are unable to see any band at all. A spot test reveals phage are found all over the gradient. We have had this same result several times and believe that the cesium chloride we are using could be the factor. Our plan is to do a very broad test and see if we can get the phage to band anywhere. | - Reviewed results for the T4 gradient. We are having issues getting the T4 to band.

8/19/13 Performed a cesium chloride gradient on T4. The gradient did not show any band and we aren't sure where the phage are in the gradient. It is possible that we mixed the gradient before or after centrifugation which could have destroyed the band. AB DL AC
8/21/13 - Discussed and weighed out the cesium chloride gradient for next class. We are hoping this gradient will narrow down exactly where the mutant phage will band and where the wild type phage will band. AB DL AC
8/23/13 - Prepared a Cesium Chloride Gradient for T4 AB DL AC
8/26/13 - Reviewed results for the T4 gradient. We are having issues getting the T4 to band. When we remove the gradient after centrifuging we are unable to see any band at all. A spot test reveals phage are found all over the gradient. We have had this same result several times and believe that the cesium chloride we are using could be the factor. Our plan is to do a very broad test and see if we can get the phage to band anywhere. AB DL AC
8/28/13 - Discussed the possible gradients we could perform to get T4 to band. We are thinking of running a wild type gradient with different concentrations at 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7. This should give us a rough estimate of where the wild type will band. AB DL AC
