Exercise 3

Stuff a Kimwipe loosely into the mouth of the flask. Heat the solution in the microwave for about 40 to 60 seconds. Try not to let it boil too hard. The Kimwipe is to prevent boiling over. Careful taking your flask out -- it's hot! Swirl the agarose solution around until you can't see any more beads of dissolving agarose. ................
