2/16/2023 Hello all, Due to UNL canceling classes for inclement weather, we will be postponing the workshop that was to be put on today to  Thursday February 23rd at 5:30 pm . Enjoy your snow day, Erin

Time: February 9th 5:30 pm- 7:30 pm Place: Beadle Center E121.1 Please fill-out pre-workshop questionnaire: https://forms.gle/jUM5XvQgexaMMu4v6 What you will learn : How to work with a variety of pipettes and syringes used in lab spaces: serological pipettes, Pasteur pipettes, micropipettes, multi-channel pipettes, and syringes. Details of what we will go over: Serological pipettes:                               For larger volumes                               Come in plastic single-use or reusable glass options ·         Hands-on work : use “manual” bulb to suck up volume of water and put into beaker. Use “automatic” serological pipettor to suck up volume of water and dispense into beaker. Pasteur pipettes :                Glass                Used in specific circumstances that don’t require precise measurements Example: when performing lipid extractions or any organic solvent extraction (chloroform, methanol, hexane, etc.) ·         Hands-on work: use bulb to suck

Welcome to the UNL Lab techniques workshop page! This blog is here to provide the basic information for the workshop and to break down what will be covered during each monthly session. --- Hi everyone, Thank you all for your interest in the Lab techniques workshop! I have been informed that our first two workshops overlap with Chemistry exams, and so we have added an additional date for those workshops. Workshop 1: Pipette Basics: February 9th & 23rd Workshop 2: Lab Glassware and Plasticware: March 9th & 23rd We hope these additional dates will allow students taking Chemistry classes to also participate in these workshops. Also, if enough students participate in these first two workshops then we may add additional dates to the last two workshops to accommodate everyone. Thank you, Erin --- Where : Beadle Center room E121.1 (one of the Micro Labs) When:   Feb. 9th & 23rd, March 9th & 23rd, April 13th, May 11th ) Time:   5:30 pm - 7:30 pm Come join us to learn how to use
