Short introduction to our DIY Bio-Lab

Welcome to our DIY Bio-Lab at Bauhaus University Weimar

Before you start using our microscopes, the laminar hood or chemicals, please take a couple of hours to prepare beforehand:

• book an introduction to the microscopes and understand how to use them
• watch two videos and learn how to use microliter pipettes
• get some basic vocabulary about lab- equipment
• read about your organism, before you start growing it
• research some recipes for the medium your organism needs

Microscope

• das saubere Mikroskop
• The Bresser Microscope (the big one) Manual

Animal Store in Weimar

This store has living Artemia, Daphnia, Nematocera (Chironomus & Chaoborus) and Enchytraeen ( Enchytraeus albidus). They sell them in small bags and it costs less than a coffee. Each Tuesday they will have a new delivery of these fresh organisms. It is possible for them to get other 'fish food' as well.
