1) Watch Lab safety video
2) Practice pipetting (see reminder page).
3) Make solutions. What is 1X anyway?
If a graduated cylinder was used for a solution of salts, just rinse it 3 times in distilled water before using. Cylinders that were used with a protein solutions (e.g. media) should be washed with detergent before using again.
