Protocols & Experiments


Universal Lab Protocols

Agarose Gel Preparation

  • Add 50mL of 1X TAE buffer to a 500mL erlenmeyer flask
  • Add 0.5g of 1% agarose
  • Microwave for three 20 second intervals and cool slightly
  • Add 1ul Ethidium Bromide
  • Mix and pour into gel box. Add Comb
  • Cool for 30 minutes

YPD Media

  • For liquid media
    • Add 20g of Bacto peptone, 10g of yeast extract and 950mL of water to a flask
    • Autoclave on the liquid setting
    • Add 50mL of 40% glucose and mix
  • For solid media
    • Add same reagents as liquid, plus 24g of Bacto agar
    • Autoclave
