24.12.2012

30 plates are autoclaved. 2 of them is broken.

500mL agar prepared.

Oguz bought cotton, Buse ate harribo

Cleaned all the stuff.

Selin bought detergent and sponge for cleaning

We should use aliminium folio doubledeck

For labelling=iGEM 2013 and what is this? This must be written all of the stuff in the lab.!!

25.12.2012

Agars and broth put into +4 fridge.

28.12.2012

Plates moved to the fridge, strecthing.

Guys please when we are keaving the lab check all of the stuff windiws, bunsen burner gasses and all the things that belongs to our team.

04.01.2013

We organize our lab and put our equipments in our closet properly. All of the stuff are labelled.

04.03.13

Broth and agar autoclaved At 2:50 p.m

3 different competent cells are prepared in a broth.Mustafa hoca, Çağlar and C3.

Cells are in the shaker.

Plates are fulled with agar.

Thensterille stuffs our in the left closet the second shelf

05.03.2013

Cells are taken from the shaker.

Put 1 mL of cells 3 pieces 100 mL broth and put it into shaker.

Took stocks into eppendorfs.

06.03.2013

Arrived the lab. Open de closrt and some tips falled to floor, labelled and put in a box.

Our assistants enable us distilled water.

The dirty equipments are autoclaved.

Chemicals has arrived, labelled and put in the right places.

Emre, Özgün, Şeniz, Ilkem, Bilge, Begüm, Betül, Selin, Munta, Alişan, Hakan, Oğuz, Buse

- stocks have been prepared, chloramphenicol and kanamaycin are working.

-the plates that have been prepared,

C3, chl. amp. kan. Çağlar chl. amp. kan. Çağlar (new) chl. amp. kan.

Have been put into incubator at 8:50 p.m

-500 mL LB has been prepared, in the fridge.

-Buse have prepared LB and Agar.

- R.A Mustafa Çiçek's sample has been prepared again.

-measured the o.d of the samples. The results:

C3=0.301

Çağlar= 746

Competent cells are divided into two groups. The sample of Çağlar, is maden microcentrifuge at 4:30 p.m

At 5:20 CaCl2 is added, and let it cool.

Attention please! Do not leave Agars in -20 fridge. We lost all of the samples because of that mistake.

-I would kill youn if you could not find my eraser! ( Hakan )

-at 8:42 p.m the flasks are made ready for tomorrow morning to be autoclaved.

-the dirty equipments are leaved in the pot.

At 9:03 p.m plates are covered by parafilm and put into +4 fridge the place that iGEM METU Labelled,

Hood is cleaned by ethanol, sterilized by uv light and shutted down.

06.03.2013 Wednesday.

- C3 and Çağlar samples are taken from the shaker,

-25 microliter and 100 microliter cells spread into small and large plates.

-one of the glass spreader is broken

-The plates have been put into incubator at 5:20 p.m.

-the bunsen burner gases have been shutted down and checked, the bench cleaned with ethanol

07.03.2013

Chemicals are put into +4 fridge.calculations made for chemicals. Lab 206 enable us to get nuclease free water.

Antibiotics are prepared in these concentrations

Amp: 50mg/mL ( 1000X)

Kan: 50mg/mL (1000X)

Chl: 25 mg/mL (1000X) in ethanol

Tetr: 15mg/mL ( 1000X)

Note that chloramphenicol does not dissolve in water completely, that is why we are preparing the stock with 70% or more ethanol.

Also ampicillin does not dissolve in water completely, in the bottle it says dissolve in acid, Emre will search how we can prepare it.

We should be tidy by putting our stuffs in the closet. We had an accident today...

Tommorrow dh5alphas o.d is going to be measured. 2 from 05.03.2013

2 from 04.03.2013 and 2 fresh.

70% ethanol will be prepared

Dirty equipments are going to be autoclaved

08.03.2013

Measured the dh5alpha cells o.d . The value is 0.184

100 mL LB and 1 mL dh5alpha culture prepared in a flask.

Now we are trying to find a way to enter in the room that has shaker in it.

1:16 p.m the culture in the flask is put in the shaker, we borrow Eser Ünsaldı 's ID cart. It shoul be taken from the shaker after 2-4 hours.

At 3:43 p.m

80% glycerol has been prepared 50 mL in a falcon in +4 fridge.

The sample is take from the shaker. Spectrphotometer shows us Mustafa Çiçek's dh5alpha e.coli 0.013 ABS sonucunu verdi (wavelength 595 and 600nm). That makes us surprised and we take a deep breathe and hold it, prepare again.

18.03.2013

When we come to the lan, the bench were very dirty, we clean it with a detergent and ethanol.

Our team have a meeting with metumech (the student club for metu mechanical engineering student at metu). We are preparing over-night cultures.

19.03.2013

O.d results => 05.03 : 249

04.03: 1.351

Stock 150 dh5alpha 1954

Stock250 dh5alpha 0.003

Autoclave is done.

We shoul prepare the competent cells but the o.d values of dh5alpha cells are very low ( about 0.01). So we let the cells grow more in the shaker.

The second o.d value is 0.093 at 3:40 p.m

At 4 p.m AlperMutlu helps us to prepare antibiotics stock.

Amphicillin/ 100 mg /mL ( sodium salt, does not works with our water)

0.5gr/5mL prepared.

The one that we have dissolves in nh4oh

0.5 gr amp

5 mL distilled water in a nonstreile falcon

Mix the water and amp in the falcon

Vortex to dissolve completely

Filtred for strelizition

Kanamycin stock50Mg /mL

250mg/5mL prepared

Procedure is thensame as amphicillin

The cells taken from shaker the o.d value is 280

Tehy should be taken at 2 p.m. The measurements made in Gülay Ozcengiz's lab.

A beaker labelled as nonsterille because used as a waste

The values measured at 2 p.m Mustafa:195nm C3: 147nm Çağlar:340nm the measurements made in 595nm because we could not make it 600nm

We had been prepared cells three days ago and keep it at +4 fridge but when we do the measuremens again the o.d values are very low so, we learnt that we should not trust the fridge, the cells may be die because of the very low temperature.

20.03.13

Samet – 10:00

* “Çağlar” and “Other” labeled 2 broth were planted. (300ul)

* DH5alpha was planted in Amp+ plate (150ul)

* Chloramphenicol/ 25mg/ml

125mg/5ml was prepared

Chl/ %70 EtOH. Procedure is same it needs to be filtered.

* Filtration: near fire!

-sterile eppendorf (a lot)

-syringe (5)

-filter (0.45 um)

1) Sterile the eppendorfs using fire.

2) Put filter on syringe

3) Put syringe on the eppendorf and pour the antibiotic.

4) Press the syringe from behind. (not too much pressure! It should drip!)

5) Close, gelatinize and label.

-Do not fill the eppendorfs to the brim.

6) place the antibiotics in -20

Selin, Bilge, Irmak, Müge.

* We did gram (-) staining in the lab upstairs. (16:40) Waiting for air dry.

26.03.13

Emre, Müge, Mehmet

* 10:16 we took the ONC’s from shaker with TA Alper. There are junior biologists in the lab and I don’t know which lesson is this. – it turned out to be microbiology

27.03.13

Oğuz

* I cleaned the bench and took the ONC’s from shaker.

* ! We have to find a solution for the cotton sticking the tubes!

* !There is a little bit more than it should be in the ONC B 2 labeled tube, pipette tip didn’t fit so I didn’t want to take the risk and put less.

* Clean autoclave machine’s cap doesn’t close properly, it caused trouble to other people so careful!

* I prepared the ONC’s as 300 ul/100 ml and put it into the shaker upstairs in the room with the spectro.

* Gases are closed, windows are closed, bench is clean. I breathed.

P.S. I had to pour the ONC B-2, the sticky cotton or whatever. A-2 is in the +4 (whatever is left)

- K302033+I732820 1:1a, 1:1b, 1:6, 143053 digestions are made. We couldn’t see the band we were supposed to see in K302033+I732820 so it has only 302033, it didn’t ligate.

- We saw unrelated bands in 143053.

- We ran the morning digestions in gel, results are good.

- We prepared plates with Chl and put them into +4 room, we also moved the plates with Tet from Lab214 to +4 room.

- Bangboss checking out!

12.09.13

Müge, Begüm, Irmak, İlkem, Batu, Bolgi, Emre, Şeniz.

Morning:

- Competent trials are taken out, C7 is good and working. It can be used.

- 11:30 Topten1 and 2 are planted on Amp, Chl and empty plates. They are in incubator, they will be taken out at 01:30

- 01:30 streaks will be taken.

- Plasmid isolations are done, measurements are: Sam8 K238027 – 30.1 and 49.7

Hakan:

- 2 falcons (K143053) are out in shatter at Lab 214 (at 5). They will be taken out tomorrow morning at 9.

- And I have done the exit controls.

Night:

- There is something black in Topten2 Amp/2. No, there is not something black in my eye and I do not make things up with my ass.

- There is growth in Amp1 and Chl1. We marked the area in which we observed growth at Chl2.

- We tried to select colonies from J04450 (Chl Backbone) streaks.

[To prevent the weird sesame plate we think that we shouldn’t shake the agar too much. The cause of sesame plate is still being investigated.]

- At 17:40 J04450 will be taken out of the incubator.

- At 19:30 ONCs of ligations will be taken.

Note for Selin: Alişan will come and check the PCR tomorrow.

P.S.: Transfer the ONC’s which should be taken at 19:30 to the shaker in the lab upstairs at 9:00 and check the heat just in case.

13.09.13

Irmak, Begüm, Müge

- 8 falcons from shaker room are transferred to the lab upstairs at 9:00. They should be taken at 19:30.

- transformation of 143012 is done. It is in the shaker at Lab214. It should be taken at 13:30, will be centrifuged and planted.

- K143053’s plasmid isolation nanodrop values are too low so, ONC is prepared from streak plates. 16 hours will be up at 03:20.

- We talked with Mr. Necati, the guy in the chemistry has taken time off. We will go back at Monday around noon.

Irmak, Begüm, Şeniz, Hakan, Burak (sick)

17:30

- We came to look at the plates and they are full of elliptic air balloons. We are scared. We went to ask Selin and came across our teacher Ayça. She said that ellipses are not cell colonies just air bubbles. She said that this could happen if we are using the agar plates before drying them properly. She said that we should have waited at least an hour after pouring agar into plates.

18:05

- We saw growth in only one of the streak plates of J04450.

- We prepared ONC with Chl LB (10ml/10ul). It should be out at 10:05 tomorrow morning. It is in back of the shaker at lab 214.

14.09.13

İlkem, Oğuz, Emre, Alişan, Şeniz, Begüm, Selin, Müge, Samet, Batuhan

- PCR is done at 10:25

Irmak, Begüm, Şeniz, Müge, Selin, İlkem, Bolgi

- PCRs are taken out at 12:45

- pcr, digestion, purification and ligation of K302033 +I732820 are done. Pcr was run as non purificated and purificated but the gel was connected reversely so no image was acquired.

- After the ligation (with kanamycin backbone) ofK302033 and I732820 they were transformed. 16 hours will be up at 15:15. (2ul and 5ul)

- AntimazF and Amp. Backbone was digested. AntimazF and Amp backbone (non purificated) were ligated together and 50ul AntimazF and Kanamycin backbone were ligated together.

Ratios: antimazF +Amp -1:1 and 1:4

AntimazF+Kan – 1:1 and 1:4

- Those were ligated and their transformations should be done.

- 143053 was planted as streak. They will be out at 14:30

After we planted Bacillius we saw sesame plates – before we planted the cells they were normal plates. We thought that we could distinguish sesames from colonies. (50,100,150 ul from 3 samples, 9 plates in total.)

We prepared antibiotic plates and put them into +4 room.

Kanamycin – 22

Tetracyclin – 6

Ampicilin – 18

- PCR product and PCR purif. were run in gel but the results are weird and also there is nothing in the PCR purif. so we are waiting for Alişan to come.

- We put the dirty spreader and flask of Bacillius into an aoutclave bag and put the bag in the waste cabinet.

- We will change the PCR program since the results are wrong. We are preparing the PCR’s which were done afternoon. Alişan asked us to change them like that:

1) 98 calcius degree 1min

2) 98 calcius 10sec

3) 60 celcius 30sec

4) 72 celcius 45sec

5) Go to 2 (?) 32
