| * Autoclave strips. These supposedly tell you if the autoclaving has been done at the required conditions, unlike autoclave tape which only tells you if the temperature has been reached.

| * If extractions keep failing, lets look at some extraction kits. [http://www.promega.com/products/dna-and-rna-purification/genomic-dna-purification-kits/wizard-genomic-dna-purification-kit/ This one] recommended by Tom is ∼£100 for 100 reactions or ∼£250 for 500 extractions.

| * A more consistent and effective way of crushing/homogenising small amounts of tissue for DNA extraction. Blenders are good but not for small quantities. Pestles are ok, but not great. One idea is to make a small pestle by melting a pipette tip then using a PCR tube as a mortar. Some labs use liquid nitrogen or a sonicator.
| | There are a number of big ticket and consumable items that would be very useful to find a supplier and funding for. |
| * Spectrophotometer for measuring DNA concentration. Simon and Tom are on this.
| |
| * Good microscope enabling us to see cells (Possible mag: 100x, 400x, 1000x).
| |
| * Better imaging system
