General information

The timeline for procedural sequence has some potential slow-down points. Putting the plates in a refrigerator will allow you some flex time for all those pop up schedule breakers like Pep Rallys. Here is an overview.

The specific details can be found in Wolkenberg Lab: Teacher Preparation

Don't forget: go to images.htm for the pictures.

1 - 5 days before lab day: Prepare/Obtain sterile LB (Luria-Bertani) media for liquid culture

Prepare/Obtain and pour 20 ~30 mL sterile LB agar plates for solid culture (this can be done by the students themselves)

1 day before lab day: Prepare an "overnight culture" of E. coli TG1

Prepare solutions for chemistry. Store the solutions at room temperature until the lab day.

lab day: Prepare 1/100 dilutions of "overnight culture"

Prepare solutions for chemistry

Here is an example of the plate set-up:
