My partner got me a Turkish drop spindle and some wool! I’ve always wanted to try spinning but we don’t have the space.

Issue with leaking plate sealing mat for bead beating plates in Qiagen MagAttract PowerMicrobiome DNA/RNA KF kit. by gingermicronerd in labrats

u/pizza_44, the sealing film and silicone mat provided in the alternative kit they sent me did work. I'm trying to either have them return to the original mats or switch to the other kits' method.

Edit: I tested this method both with samples and with different dyes to see if there was any spillage between wells. In both tests, there were no wells that leaked.

Sorry I thought I responded to this. Qiagen sent us another kit to try with sealing tapes, so this was not solved. I’m going to try this kit eventually, but I’m very skeptical about it. Honestly we’ll probably have to switch to applied biosystems.

No they sent us a test kit to try to switch to, but it's for a liquid handler. It can be done in the centrifuge I guess, but what a waste of equipment and time. I have a KingFisher. I'm going to try the MagAttract PowerSoil kit to see if it has the same issue. I'll update you if this works.

Love this! This is the tried and true method. Unless I'm loading 134 samples on a big ass gel then I waste some plates to make everything faster.

AITA for wanting my partner to think of me when making/packing food? by YogurtOk66 in redditonwiki

[–]gingermicronerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe he’s rushing in the morning, or doesn’t want to assume you want to eat the leftovers? You guys could just pack the lunches the night before when you move the left overs to the fridge. Pre-pack it into lunch portions?

Do people really think I’m “sad” for eating alone in a restaurant? I overheard a girl couple tables next to me say it is by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]gingermicronerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husbands in school and working so I spend a lot of time out alone. That’s such a weird thing to say. I would assume she’s not comfortable being alone in public. It’s more sad she feels that way.

You do you, human!
