Hi Science Buddies and All,
I am planning to do an experiment this summer because
I am really interested in biology, so I want to do a biology- related
experiment. I need some ideas here like anything dealing with anatomy
or diseases.
Thanks,
Rohit

Hi theborg,
Thanks a lot for giving me that resource.
Now, I have a few questions, where can i get:
200 μL automatic pipettor with sterile tips,
bent glass rod for spreading bacteria on plates,
37°C incubator for bacterial culture plates( for this i am not sure which one to buy)
Thanks

Hi Rohit,
Which project idea are you considering? It sounds like you are interested in a microbiology project.
Carolina Biologicals has pipette tips and other microbiological supplies. I cannot tell if the pipette tips are sterile, so you should double check that detail.
http://www.carolina.com/?s_cid=ppc_gl_c ... RQodZBcI3gPipettors are very expensive. Do you have access to a lab with pipettors where you could do your experiments?

It seems like you are growing bacteria for your project. The following link is a bacteria growing experiment that may be a good resource.
http://www.freesciencefairproject.com/b ... teria.html This link is a kit for the project above. You can look at the contents and see if it meets your needs.
http://shop.miniscience.com/navigation/ ... id=kitbg01This is a link to a lab supply online store.

I hope this helps.
