 * Miniprepped everything that was cultured overnight except for pSB1A3, which is not supposed to be red (WTF). Recultured pSB1A3 with a non-red colony.
 * Made a positive control to test to see if the KAN plates were good.
 * Tested the Optical Density of the solutions. Spectrophotometer results:
 * A1: -11.8 ng/uL
 * A2: 3.5 ng/uL
 * re-blanked here
 * A3: -1.2 ng/uL
 * A4: -7.1 ng/uL
 * A5: -4.2 ng/uL
 * A6: -6.9 ng/uL
 * blanked with different water here
 * A7: -6.9 ng/uL
 * Something is definitely wrong. Either with the miniprepping or the spectrophotometery.
