BenchFly’s website offers many useful tips for research and labwork, from ways of doing colony PCR to the best method to keep your waterbath clean. Protocols and techniques abound!
If you’re a graduate student, doing your PhD or MSc study, you probably know by now that supervisors are not quite as useful as you would like them to be. Sure, once or twice a month you have a meeting with them, where you tell them of all the results you don’t have, and they tell you what to do next. But they will never tell you HOW to do it.
PCR? Trivial.
Counting cells? Shouldn’t have to be explained.
Calculating an Rf value? They’re offended you even have to ask.
In short, if you don’t have a labmate who has some actual experience with the methods you’re going to use, you’re in trouble. And that is where BenchFly comes in.
BenchFly is, as a matter of fact, the best labmate you’ll ever have. Their website, complete with three different blogs, has all the advice any fledgeling scientist should need, especially in the field of biotechnology and chemistry. You’re going to find protocols and techniques on various methods, from performing colony PCR to keeping a clean waterbath to weighing small amounts of materials. So if you want to have your online advisor, all for free, hit BenchFly.
