Jenniferand I worked with with Di on the GFP extraction. Di had previously centrifued the broth to extract the e-coli bacteria which had been kept an -80 C overnight. The cell walls of the baacteria was then broken using a sonicizer, sort of like a high tech sonic toothbrush. The mixture was then centrifued again. Tomorrow we will purify using a nickel column.

Also we carried on with our inorganic cystallisation. Our crystals of copper sulphate were excellent. We aslo created crystals of potassium chloride.

Jodie, Jannette and Petra were here unitl 9pm last night working on the power point. It looks excellent.
