Welcome!

This is the LabWiki – your central reference for all methods, rules, and protocols in our laboratory!

This wiki is designed to help you work safely, efficiently, and reliably. Here you will find guides on various work techniques, important safety regulations, and documentation on equipment and materials.

The data and protocols have been curated and carefully prepared over a long period of time. Nevertheless, there may still be errors in a few areas. Please let us know in the discussion section of the respective article.

Knowledge grows when shared. That's why we appreciate it when you contribute your knowledge here and help us continue developing it.


⚠️ The most important thing you can find here?
  • Lab Rules: Correct behaviour in the lab - from deadly sins to too much blotto. First port of call for every lab novice!

🧪 Protocols & more

Documentation of all laboratory experiments and test procedures.
  • All protocols from the VTK script and beyond. Important - Some protocols may still be out of date. Please let us know if you recognise an error:
    Methods and Protocols
  • Recipes for basic buffers and solutions in the laboratory
    Rezepte

Only together can this wiki be useful and effective. If you have a protocol for a method that is worth implementing here, please contact ESO.

⚡ Lab Devices

Operating instructions, tips, and maintenance information for our lab equipment.

📋 Security & Safe Behaviour

Safety regulations, emergency plans and protective measures.
  • All About Safety: Be sure to read our internal laboratory information for more safety in the laboratory.
  • Basic principles and guidelines can be found in the so-called laboratory guideline – Official web content of the University of Konstanz ([1]) and official DGUV information on biology laboratories ([2])

In case of emergency:
I-Point phone no.: 2222

💡- Supporting things for your time in the lab

🖨️ How to Print Pages from the Wiki

Quick Print Access

Windows

  • Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + P
  • Alternative: Right-click on page → "Print"
  • Menu: Browser menu (⋮) → "Print"

Mac

  • More settings: Click for advanced options
  • Paper size: A4 (default) or Letter
  • Margins: Default or narrow for more space

🎯 Optimal Print Settings for Lab Protocols

Setting Recommendation Why
Orientation Portrait For standard protocols
Scale 85-90% Prevents text cutoff
Margins Narrow More space for content
Background graphics Off Saves ink
Headers/Footers Optional Print URL and date

💡 Pro Tips

Before printing:

  • Check print preview: Is everything fully visible?
  • Consider page count: Split long protocols?
  • Images/Tables: Are they displayed correctly?

For large tables:

  1. Choose landscape orientation for wide pipetting schemes
  2. Reduce scale to 70-80%
  3. Check page breaks in preview

Save ink/toner:

  • Disable background graphics
  • Use draft mode for internal protocols
  • Black & white for color printers

🔧 Troubleshooting

Text gets cut off

  • Reduce scale (85-90%)
  • Set margins to "narrow"
  • Use landscape for wide content

Page too long

  • Check page breaks in preview
  • Use "Print selection" for specific sections
  • Create multiple PDFs for different sections

Images/formulas missing

  • Enable "Print background graphics"
  • Refresh browser before printing
  • Take screenshot as alternative

💡 Tip: For important protocols, always save as PDF first, then print!
