Hamilton Medlab

To collect some more culture samples for my research work, I went to Medlab not too far away from transport centre (~15 min walk). There, Chris (Microbiology Manager) gave me Campylobacter and Salmonella swabs and showed me what Campylobacter's (and Salmonella's) colonies look like She also pointed out how they incubated the cultures - CO2 incubater with 10% CO2 at 42C for 48 hr. Come back to HRU, I tried to raise the temperature and CO2 density on our CO2 incubater...but Alas!! It somehow started to beep - a fairly sharp and non-stopping beep. Trying and discussing with Kerry, we eventually found its solution - tuning the "temperature calibration knob" - well, its manual calls that but I personally wouldn't call it knob; this name is really misleading. Anyway, let's see what these Campylobacters'll look like next monday.
