  • Pipetting and Sterile Culture Lab Expt 1
    TECHNIQUES IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY – BASIC TECHNIQUES: PIPETING AND STERILE CULTURE Mastery of micropipetting and sterile technique is essential for reliable success in molecular biology. Take these exercises and our discussions about pipetting seriously. Micropipettors A micropipettor* is essentially a precision pump fitted with a disposable tip. The volume of air space in the barrel is adjusted by screwing the plunger in or out of the piston, and the volume is displayed on a digital readout. Depressing the plunger displaces the specified volume of air from the piston; releasing the plunger creates a vacuum which draws an equal volume of fluid into the tip. The fluid in the tip is expelled by depressing the plunger again, but to a further, second 'blow-out' stop. * The nickname is originally derived from a different pipettor brand ('Pipetman'), but still widely used by molecular molecular biologists for all micropipettors. Take the following precautions when using the pipettor: • Never rotate the volume adjustor beyond the upper or lower range indicated on the pipettor. • Never invert or lay down a pipettor with a filled tip (fluid can run into the barrel). • Never let the plunger snap back after withdrawing or expelling fluid (could damage the piston or cause fluid to enter the barrel, and contact the piston – aka ‘fountaining’). • Never reuse a tip that has been used to measure a different reagent, or that has entered a tube containing a different reagent. When in doubt, use a fresh tip. Pipet-Lite (LTS) Pipettors: Pipet-Lite (LTS) is a brand of micro-pipettor used in the laboratory.

Over the years, a number of automated methods for mixing have been devised, all of which remove this burden from the operator by offering a sustained and controlled stirring or shaking action for indefinite periods of time. Laboratory shakers consist of an oscillating board on which solutions can be placed in flasks or beakers and are popular for the simultaneous agitation of multiple solutions, such as mixing the contents of microplates. Samples in a lab shaker can be agitated via a linear motion, by an orbital motion to create a vortex in the solution, or a number of other motions. Unlike laboratory instruments that develop incrementally over time without any real innovation, the technology in lab shakers continues to advance at a faster rate. The future for lab shakers is likely to involve the development of instruments that offer alternative mixing actions for more thorough and efficient mixing, possibly mimicking further the action of the human wrist. Other innovations are likely to include instruments capable of mixing more samples simultaneously, and greater integration with other lab processes, allowing for more automation in the laboratory and less human intervention.
