Bettina Cashin

As Media Technician, I am responsible for the preparation of communal media stock solutions and common buffers. These also include culture media and plates as well as antibiotic stocks. I deal with media requests daily and ensure adequate supply of media within the laboratory.

My responsibilities also include adherence to and enforcement of quality control and sterility procedures. I monitor the quality of media and bring any concerns to the attention of the supervisor. A further part of my duties is to troubleshoot problems in the making and quality of the media solutions supplied.
