LB Agar Plates with Antibiotic · Benchling LB Agar Plates with Antibiotic 10/7/2018 LB Agar Plates with Antibiotic · Benchling LB Agar Plates with Antibiotic Introduction In order to conduct transformation experiements, you need to create agar plates that have antibiotics to select the bacteria which successfully take up your plasmid. This protocol explains how to create said agar plates containing chloroamphenicol. Materials › Tryptone › Yeast Extract › Sodium Chloride › Agar › Don't mix this up with agarose › dH2O › 1 Liter Glass Bottle › Autoclave › Stock solution antibiotic (25 mg/ml) › Stirring plate and magnetic stirrer › 24 Petri Plates (90 mm) Procedure Creating the Agar Solution 1. In a large bottle (at least 1 L), add the following: Table1 A B 1 Amount Component 2 5 grams Tryptone 3 2.5 grams Yeast Extract 4 7.5 grams Agar 5 5 grams NaCl 6 Q/S to 500 mL dH2O 2. Shake until solutes completely dissolve file:///tmp/tmpRXrOGL.html 1/2 10/7/2018 LB Agar Plates with Antibiotic · Benchling 3. Place magnetic stirring bar inside the bottle 4. Stir (7/10) with heat (about 4/10) and wait about 15-20 minutes for the salt to dissolve. When the bottle is tilted, salt should not collect at the bottom. Sterilizing the Agar 5. Pour water into a beige plastic bucket to about 1 inch deep 6. Place bottle in bucket 7. Place bucket containing bottle into autoclave and run at 121°C and 20 PSI for a total of 35 minutes (20 minutes sterilize, 15 minutes exhaust) 8. Once done, use hot hands to take bottle out of autoclave (be very careful) and place on a stirring plate 9. Place a sterile thermometer in the bottle and turn on the stirrer 10. Once the temperature in the bottle reaches 55°C, add liquid antibiotic to the bottle for a final concentration of 35 ug/mL Creating the Plates 11. Take the bottle off of the plate and remove magnetic stirring bar 12. Line up approximately 24 empty plates and remove their covers 13. OPTIONAL: Light a flame to sterilize the working area 14. Pour the liquid agar into the plates one at a time, for a depth of about 1/4 inch. About 12-16 mL file:///tmp/tmpRXrOGL.html 2/2.

Units provide stirring of liquids with rotation speed of magnetic element up to 3,000 rpm. Up to date it is the highest value of the maximal speed for magnetic MS-3000 stirrers of global producers. Strong magnets hold the driven magnetic element firmly in the magnetic clutch. Stirring is performed without undesirable heating and noise. Enclosures of stirrer MS-3000 are made of strong steel and DESCRIPTION painted with powder enamel, which is chemically resistant to acids and alkali. The stirrers are supplied with a cylinder-shape magnetic stir- ring bar (6 × 25 mm) encapsulated in PTFE for universal use. MMS-3000 is equipped with a detachable stand for supporting various sensor elements (temperature, pH and others) inside the stirred liquid. Magnetic stirrer is ideal laboratory instrument for PH-metering, extraction and dialysing with the small quantities of substances.

  • Lab Hot Plate and Magnetic Stirrer
    Lab Hot Plate and Magnetic Stirrer CE-HOTSTIR General Information This hot plate includes an integrated magnetic stirrer, ideal for light duty use in a laboratory. The dual controls allow you to set heat output and stirring speed independently. The hot plate reaches a temperature of over 250°C (480°F) with an output of 180 watts. The magnetic stirrer is adjustable from 0 to up to about 1400 rpm and suitable for mixing up to 500ml of solution in a container of 5” diameter or less. Components The following items are included: • Base with power switch, two control knobs, and LED indicators • Teflon-coated magnetic stir bar (1 inch length) • Power cord • Support stand (2-piece support rod, right angle clamp, and thermometer holder) Operation To set up the support stand: Screw the two rods together, creating one support rod. Make sure they fit tightly. Insert the slotted end of the rod into the plastic holder on the back of the base. Slip the right angle clamp onto the support rod and tighten the knob. Slide in the thermometer holder and tighten the other knob. The height of the thermometer holder can be adjusted by moving the clamp up or down on the support. To use the hot plate: 1. Make sure the knobs are turned off. The white mark on each knob should be pointing down. 2. Connect the power cord to the back of the base. The base should be set on a hard surface, like a countertop or table. 3. Plug the other end of the power cord in to a standard outlet.

In accordance with the state of aggregation of matter there is a mixing of liquids and bulk solids. Stirring is carried out mainly in the vessels with mixing devices. The nature and intensity of mixing depends on the design of devices and mixers. Magnetic stirring can be used over a broad temperature range and with any chemical agent, as well as in open and closed systems, under pressure or vacuum. The most common mixing is carried out with the help of magnetic stirrers. The device consists of two main parts: motor with stirring mechanism and control electronics. Motor movement with magnet on top causes rotation of stir bars which mix liquids. Control electronics supervises motor RPM, keyboard functions. Magnetic stirrers are designed for mixing fluids of different viscosity with the help of a stir bar (also called „flea“) that spins very quickly. They are commonly used for sample preparation and analysis, in chemistry, biology and in such laboratory works as organic synthesis, extraction, oil analysis, pH measurement, dialysis, soil suspending, preparing buffer solutions where it is often needed to mix several types of liquids to get homogeneous mixtures.
