Document Summary
Part i (75 %): written portion of exam will focus on your understanding of what we did in lab and why we did it. Part ii: practical questions (25 %) will cover such topics as how to use the spectrophotometer, types of pipettes, how to read a pipette (max/min volume), fermentation lab set-up, photosynthesis lab set-up, molecular biology lab set- up. Study suggestions for the practical section of your exam: be able to identify (by name) the following types of pipettes: serological, mohr, volumetric, and mechanical or. You should also know the smallest/largest volume each pipette can deliver. Micropipettes: used for very small precise volumes; adjust with volume adjustment rings; disposable tip on the end; use plunger to draw up (to first stop point) and expel (to send stop point) Mohr: graduated but stop at the baseline before the pipette begins to narrow.
