What is the metric system?. How big is a Liter? How big is a Liter? How big is a mili Liter? How big is a mili Liter? mL(1/1000 L) mili means one thousanth mL(1/1000 L) mili means one thousanth How big is a micro liter compared to a L and a mL? How big is a micro liter compared to a L and a mL? (1/1000 of a mL) (1/1,000,000 of a L) (1/1000 of a mL) (1/1,000,000 of a L) Which of these units do you think would be the best for looking at pieces of DNA? Which of these units do you think would be the best for looking at pieces of DNA? Why? Why? Standard measurement system used through out the world

The MICRO LITER!! DNA IS SO SMALL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT IN VERY TINY PIECES DNA IS SO SMALL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT IN VERY TINY PIECES What tool should we use to measure DNA? What tool should we use to measure DNA? Micro-pipettes allow us to take samples as small as.5 µL and as large as 1000 µL (1 mL) Micro-pipettes allow us to take samples as small as.5 µL and as large as 1000 µL (1 mL)

Are you a metric system master? When I convert from L to mL will the number get smaller or larger? When I convert from L to mL will the number get smaller or larger? Larger, I will move my decimal place 3 spaces to the right because it is a thousand times smaller. Larger, I will move my decimal place 3 spaces to the right because it is a thousand times smaller. When I convert from mL to µL will the number get smaller or larger? When I convert from mL to µL will the number get smaller or larger? Larger, I will move my decimal place 3 places to the right. Larger, I will move my decimal place 3 places to the right.

Metric System Master? When I convert from µL to mL will the number get smaller or larger? When I convert from µL to mL will the number get smaller or larger? Smaller, I will move my decimal place 3 places to the left. For example 2 µL =.002 mL Smaller, I will move my decimal place 3 places to the left. For example 2 µL =.002 mL When I convert from mL to L will the number get smaller or larger? When I convert from mL to L will the number get smaller or larger? Smaller. I will move my decimal place 3 spaces to the left. Smaller. I will move my decimal place 3 spaces to the left. 2.0 mL =.002 L 2.0 mL =.002 L

Factor Label Method A great way to set up conversions A great way to set up conversions Start the conversion with what you know and make a relationship that relates to what you want to know Start the conversion with what you know and make a relationship that relates to what you want to know For example when determining how many For example when determining how many µL are in 20 L set up this conversion µL are in 20 L set up this conversion 20L 1,000,000 µL 1 L 1 L This means 20 X 1,000,000 =20,000,000 µL

Metric System Master??? If I have L and want µL what should I do? If I have L and want µL what should I do? Move the decimal place 6 places to the right Move the decimal place 6 places to the right Or set a conversion using factor label method Or set a conversion using factor label method

I will give you a measurement and you must tell me how many µL I have… Use Factor Label method I will give you a measurement and you must tell me how many µL I have… Use Factor Label method 2 µL = how many L? 2 µL = how many L? 2 µL 1 L 2 µL 1 L 1,000,000 µL 2µL X 1L /1,000,000µL = L L 87 mL = how many µL? 87 mL = how many µL? 87mL 1,000 µL 1 mL 1 mL 87mLx 1000 µL/ 1mL 87,000 µL 87,000 µL

Try these on your own…. 100 µL = How many L 100 µL = How many L 2,300,000 L = How many mL 2,300,000 L = How many mL 45 L = How many µL? 45 L = How many µL? ,300,000,000mL 3.45,000,000 µL

IF YOU USE THE WRONG PIPETTE IT WILL MAKE THEM LESS ACCURATE AND MAY DESTROY THEM..AND THEY MIGHT EXPLODE! If I want to measure 2 µL which pipette would I choose? If I want to measure 2 µL which pipette would I choose? P-10 P-10 If I want to measure 178 µL which pipette would I choose? If I want to measure 178 µL which pipette would I choose? P-200 P-200 If I want to measure 778 µL which pipette would I choose? If I want to measure 778 µL which pipette would I choose?
