Equipment will include: electrophoresis units, spectrophotometers, motors on shakers and centrifuges, etc. General topics will also include: assessing the tools required to disassemeble, fix and reassemble a piece of equipment; tool quality; and rational disassembly of equipment when the function of some component is not known. Bring broken equipment on which to practice. Session starts at 6:00 p.m. in Project Lab, Bldg 68. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica" size="3">Contact: Kay Jones, 68-641, x3-4721, </font><a href="mailto:kmjones@mit.edu"><font color="#0000f0" style="color: #0000f0"><u><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica" size="3">kmjones@mit.edu</font></u></font></a><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica" size="3"> </font></span></span></font></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Times; min-height: 19px; "><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Times; min-height: 19px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Wed, Jan 23, 06-09:00pm, 68-077</b></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Times" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></span></font></div></div></body></html>
