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 flow bench or chemicals I ask you kindly to take two hours to prepare beforehand.

In these two hours, please 1. read the manuals for the microscopes and understand how to use them 2. watch two videos and learn how to use microliter pipettes 3. get some basic vocabulary about lab- equipment 4. read some recipes for the medium your organism needs 5. and read the basic papers about your organism, before you start growing it.
