Lab Note #4 Second experiment

 Lab Note #4 Second experiment 

Since the previous result was not clear and cells did not get reduced as much as I thought, I decided to the second experiment by putting an increased concentration of PLA2 and 5FU on colorectal cells. 

Method:

1. I took plates with cells(WIDR and HCT15) out of a culture medium.

2. I got rid of liquid media using a suction machine. 

3. I put 500ul of TE buffer so that cells on the bottom of the plates float. After I put them on the centrifuge I waited for 5 minutes. (If the cells are on TE buffer too long, cells can die.) 

4. After 5 minutes, I slightly shook the plate with TE buffer and cells so that the cells are detached from the bottom of the plates. 

5. I put them on two 1.5ml tubes.

6. I put the tubes on a centrifuge that spin in a speed of 7500 rpm for 2 minutes. Then I can saw cells on the bottom of the tube separated from TE buffer. 

7. I sucked TE buffer carefully so that the cells don't get sucked up together. 

8. I put 200ul of RPMI and did a pipetting so that cells are mixed with RPMI evenly

9. I put RPMI + cells on 15ml tube (I made the liquid flow on the wall)

10. With a big pipette, I put 7 ml of RPMI and shook it up and down slightly.

11. I put 500ul of solution on a 24 wells plate. 

12. On the same 24 wells plate, I put PLA2 and 5FU according to the following concentration.

I got minus half-lives, which proves that I could not get the result I wanted. 

So I decided to do the another experiment.

Lab Note #3 The result

  Lab Note #3 The result Experiment date: 2020. 8. 31 Material: Microscope, cell counting machine, the result of the first experiment 1. Observing the result of the last experiment  Through a microscope, I observed colorectal cells that were treated with PLA2 and 5-FU. Then I took pictures of them through a computer connected to the microscope.  Though I expected to observe the reduced cells, I was surprised to see the cells that reduced only in a small amount. So I decided to use cell counting machine to get the exact result.  2. Counting cells Dead cells are stained red while alive cells are stained green. The machine then count the number of green cells and red cells.  First, I put small amount of buffer solution with chemical (PLA2 or 5FU) and cells on the small plate. (Pipetting should be done in order to make sure that cells aren't compacted together.) Then, I put the plate on the machine which starts counting. After I check the result, I saved it on the U...

Dormitory alone

     I throw myself on my bed being exhausted. I can hear my roommates under me talking loudly about food they are going to eat in home during weekends. Wishing the dormitory weekend menus to be good, I close my eyes for a short sleep until the first self study time begins.   Surprised with a large sound coming out from my alarm clock, I wake up. The total silence in a whole room makes me hard to believe that only 30 minutes have passed from the moment that the whole dormitory was full of sound of students being excited about going home. I consider sleeping for a whole self study for a moment, but I soon make up my mind and get out of the bed since I know dormitory teacher always look around the empty dormitory in order to check whether students cleaned their room before they leave.   I slowly put books in to study during the first self study time in my bag and go up to a cafeteria, my favorite place to study. A cafeteria which is usually full of students...
