This is the gel station of the Buchler lab.

Friendly, if not nonsensical, reminder to refill the TAE buffer if you finish it.

This is the weighing station, where we make media and conversation.

One of the lab's thermocyclers, where we carry out polymerase chain reactions (PCRs).

This is the iGEM lab bench, where we make our magic happen.

This is the cold room located across the hall from the lab, where we store media and plates.

This is the cold room shelf reserved for us, with plenty of media bottles and petri dishes.

Garima checking on some plates growing in the incubator.

This is the gel photo station, which uses UV light to visualize gel electrophoresis results.

Once the door is closed, UV light illuminates the ethidium bromide intercalated in the DNA.

Our very own iGEM fridge!

These boxes contain tubes containing all of the plasmids we currently work on.

Oligonucleotides ("oligos") are used as primers for PCRs and sequencing, as well as for novel purposes.

Delta can make anything into a photo op, even inspecting the fridge.

The neighboring You lab graciously lets us use their Nanodrop.

This Nanodrop is a spectrophotometer, used to measure DNA concentration.
