Tissue Culture

Here are some of the pictures taken fm our 'Tissue Culture' workshop. I will leave it to the lucky 6 pupils to share about their experiences.. In the meantime, here are the gadgets used: Weighing machine to weigh the chemicals that we needed.
This is an 'Autoclave'. It is used to sterilise all of the apparatus required. Here, the water will be boiled at 120 degrees for 20 minutes..Do u know why?..

This is called a 'Laminar Flow'.- It is plaform where UV light is used to 'kill bacteria' as well as a place for us to 'prepare our tissue culturing'

This is where our final work is kept. This room is kept in a cool environment.. and artificial light is used to simulate day and night.. Can anyone guess how long the 'light' is given? Clue: Think in terms of 'mother nature'
