Inside the Toxicology Lab, we learned the basics of pipetting with one of the lab techs, Adam, who processes the urine samples there. We got to replicate his Standard Operating Procedure to produce a fake tray of urine samples to be processed. We started by pipetting water (simulating the samples) into each well of the 96 well plate. Then, we added fake enzymes and ACN. In addition, we got to practice pipetting methanol since it has a more complicated pipetting procedure as it is a volatile liquid. Moreover, we used an 8-tip pipette to speed up production of our samples. Overall, we all got to use the pipettes and understand the series needed to complete urine analysis.
