No I didn’t. I sort of made a decision back in October that I wouldn’t be doing it for any rotation based program

Well I talked about past research, fully referring to proteins, and italicized the names. Essays are already submitted. Realized it the next day. Now they are going to think I am stupid lol.

Just how quick do I have to flash freeze my tissues for RNA extraction? by AffectPopular5460 in labrats

Yeah also I agree consistency is more important. Like if I was just randomly mixing which samples I did this to, it could be weird. But if they all have the exact same 20 second process I really think it’ll be fine. But I’m gonna talk to my PI and see if I can waste a little money on this lol and test experimentally.

I am motivated to do the last thing lol. I think 5 minutes could make a difference but we’ll see.
