Title: Lab #6 - Contamination Screening
Course: BTEC-2030-301-302-303-F21 > Section: Cell Culture

You will need to be able to be in the lab on two separate days for this performance assessment so your PCR gel can run. Plan on being in the lab for a couple hours on both days.

Along with the PCR you will do a microbial culture screening.

The protocol for the microbial culture screening can be found here:

Remember: The next step is to come into the lab to practice with the materials, view a demonstration, or to even just ask questions. Also, if you are ready to take the lab final, please inform your instructor. The lab final will be performed by yourself and will be graded with a rubric.
