Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

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.

Pipettors are very expensive. Do you have access to a lab with pipettors where you could do your experiments?
