Title: Making Common Reagents-2
Course: BTEC-2000-301-302-303-F21 > Section: InnovaBio®

All interns are expected to assist with maintaining common reagents. Many of the reagents are solutions used in various experiments relating multiple projects. In your experiments, you will use common reagents made by other interns; therefore, you must also make common reagents for other interns.

The lab maintenance list in the InnovaBio® lab includes reagents in short supply. Before making any reagent for the first time, you should be trained on it using the same training methods already established. You should also use the “Protocol Proficiency Record” until you’ve achieved proficiency.

You must always label the reagent and store it according to the protocol. Failing to do so can result in failed experiments or oversupply of common reagents. InnovaBio® records reagents made on the “InnovaBio® Maintenance and Supplies Log”.  Submit one entry for each reagent you make.

You will be expected to complete at least one each of maintenance or reagent making tasks and five total during your first 20 hours in InnovaBio®.  Note all of your completed tasks on you hours log.

Learning Objectives:

- 2.2 Make commonly used lab materials (e.g., solutions, plates, media) using the appropriate documents.
- 2.3 Demonstrate proficiency in basic research lab skills.
