Some lab names and naming conventions that trip people up

KimWipes (not chem wipes): the Kleenex of the lab in more ways than one. It’s a brand name thing (made by Kimtech)
Eppendorf tubes: microcentrifuge tubes (typically the 1.8 mL ones)
Falcon tubes: plastic conical tubes. Another brand name, so capital F
For context - I also for some reason thought “falcon” had 2 L’s. So it may just be me that gets tripped up by names and spellings :)
RNase and DNase: lowercase a’s
Southern blot: uppercase (last name)
western blot: lowercase w (spin-off, not a name)
The last letter of restriction enzyme names is a Roman numeral - so pronounce it as a number, not a letter

Organic Chemistry is another word/meaning maze.

My inner-monologue of "eko-arr-eye" definitely wasn't right.

Ig oakridge tubes belong to the same class as that of falcon tubes lol

[@waldnebel3024]

We just say Epi's not microsentrifuge tubes. So way shorter lol
