Figure 1. The complete set of data I collected from the Nanodrop. With this information I can determine the amount and purity of the DNA concentrated collected from the biofilm and water samples.
Blog Post Week 4
Despite the fact I am going to be a tad busy for Spring Break, I am happy that it is approaching fast. This week has been busy. I have moments where I felt like as one assignment is finished another has opened up. In spite of all this, I do feel like this was an amazing week to be productive. I have yet to fully take off with my microplastic experiment but I am almost done helping WAESO out when it comes to the Pseudomonas aeuroginsa experiment. Just for recap, the college campus was divided into zones where water samples were collected to find traces of Pseudomonas aeuroginosa. Extraction methods were compared, gels were ran, and a lot of time was spent with the Nanodrop. On Monday, I spent time working alongside Cori and other students to finished the poster we are going to submit to the WAESO event at ASU tempe. I also nanodrop PCR samples of the the bacteria the team collected. I am going to wrapped this week up by working on my individual project now. I am going back to grinding plastics.

Hey Arane, the WAESO project seemed to have been a long one for you! Did you enjoy the process though or was it dreading? Also, I am not so great at reading the NanoDrop data set yet so how do you know which one is the most pure; the one with the highest or lowest nucleic acid or do you look at another column for that determination?
