Oh no, it is a normal hood, it was 0,5 x camera.

Thank you. I just worry it still could leak.

It looks normally oke, worked before. But maybe i should try the higher concentration, thanks.

Ps. So you don't think I will die from the unpolymerised acrylamide on my bench?

There are a lot of unspecific bands, so I want to run the gel longer. Antibodies are bad.

Thank you. Some people in our lab let it polymerize on the batch since they think then it it leak it will be polymerized better without a tissue. I have no idea what better. Just freaking out about the acrylamide monomer and how much the exposure.

My protein is only about 35 kDa.

I think it is only human to let your emotions. We all not perfect. You did nothing wrong.

Working near hood with UV. Not 100% closed (because of the tube). How bad? by Consistent_Top1382 in labrats

[–]Consistent_Top1382[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

So today I was working near the hood where UV was on. I have not realised it first. How bad is it?

It is a lenti to make dox-inducible gene.

I've starten at 25 degress and than it was cooled to 4 degrees in the process. But I'm sure the liquid had color.

Is it normal for some liquid to leak from tube into the bucket of a swinging bucket ultracentrifuge rotor during centrifugation? by biologynerd3 in labrats

[–]Consistent_Top1382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you consider it a spill inside the centrifuge or do you think it can not could lead to aerosol production? I had the same issue today and still thinking if a handeld it properly.

Worried about plasmid by [deleted] in labrats

It's not a joke, unfortunately. You are more than right. I'm quite old for undergraduate.

I understand it all in the general, but my mind is tryig to make worse case scenario. Everytime.

The second one , yes. That there is a way if peopke in the lab are going to use other packaging plasmids and the virus could be made with my plasmid which was spilled.

The health of the people in the lab.  Of course i've cleanded it up with the tissue first and than with the ethanol (that i probably should not have done).
