Frazzled, but learning the ropes


Today was the first day I did work in the Wofford lab.  It really is a challenge to learn your way around a different lab with different equipment.  My first PCR took forever because I was trying to locate and organize all the correct pipettes and tips, etc.  It also didn't turn out well but I'm using wax to coat the next batch for testing the annealing temperature.  It's in the machine right now, I'm going to run a gel on it shortly.  I'm really, really, REALLY hoping it works because if it doesn't then serious revision must be done. I'll let you know how it goes!

This is the area in which I run my gels

This is the area in which I put together my mix to amplify DNA
