  • re prism :Edmund optics:VIS60 Schott veril linear variable interference filter SGD$1600 25mm wide 60mm long linear 400nm-700nm (contact sheet)

N47-279 eqilateral prism 35mm long 35mm face SGD$162


Documentation wiki status:

    • Priority should be on plans and experimental report analysis and conclusions-----Alisa .
    • If only Pat & Alisa doing lab work not much documentation needed.
    • Equipement:
      • MissingLas3000 method (in lab notebook)
      • Missing DNA measurement protocol (eppendorf)
    • Reagents pages incomplete:
      • Some location pictures not finished or uploaded.
      • Some newer reagents not entered.
    • Secondary reagents pages not made:
      • LB, Plates, TAE , NZY+ Broth
    • Protocol part:
      • No connections from Protocols to reagents.
      • Ligation protocol missing
    • Lab notebook:
      • Format uses too many lines to see connections between days.
      • Latter part missing links
      • Can table of contents be restricted to date level?
    • Experimental reports:
      • Lacks discussion/conclusion
      • Ligation experiment missing
      • Lattest few gells not marked up and entered.
    • Project overview link broken
    • Background:
      • GFP missing ,
      • Red photo sensor to GFP test harness missing.
    • Plan: Only Gas vesicles plan entered.
