Okay Okay Okay
so I need to slow down a little
the plan is still
1. grow E.coli
2.express gene in E.coli
3.do same thing in agrobacterium
4.culture plants
5.modify plants
now I'm making a list for steps one and two focusing on one so now I need the BARE basics so what do I need to grow E.coli?
I have a list currently but hackaday is stupid and I can't upload files so I'm just gonna copy paste
Okay so I just need something to sanitize them something to grow it in and something to freeze them in
Just those steps
I'm going to make a new list for the tools required just to do those
Pipette kits |
Autoclave |
inoculating loop |
bunsen burner |
petri dishes |
incubator |
LB Broth |
agar |
glycerol |
So from this list I have the Incubator and the petri dishes
Of course I will be needing other reagents but those are the most important
The plan is to use a bunsen burner to generate a aseptic area for culturing cells in the beginning just for startup but
But I gotta stop procrastinating I don't know why but my brain just want to push it away as hard as it can no matter what I wish I knew why
Now for the reagent LB broth is Extremely cheap to mix your own and glycerol is also extremely cheap
The biggest cost here is the autoclave and micropipettes I need to get those down as those will be important now and In the future
I need to get something done
Also I found a new discovery while fishing for treasure in the garage a old food heater the kind that was meant for keeping things warm for long periods of time and it could possible be used as a new incubator
It would work and is made out of metal and glass so it would look good too but who am I kidding I need to stop wasting my time and getting something done already
School has just been sucking up all of my time
Right now I need help picking an autoclave this is very important as having an aseptic working area and technique is key to making any of this work
I need help right now in picking an Autoclave as It will be key I might just settle for a pressure cooker right now and spend a little more money later on for a slightly nicer one once i've made some friends
That's it for now I will give another update soon
Peace
