  • Marsh Funnel
    Marsh Funnel Summary: The Marsh Funnel was developed to provide a field measurement of the apparent viscosity of clay-thickened drilling mud. Provided that a conversion table has been developed, a modified Marsh Funnel can be used to provide a measure of apparent viscosities for gum-thickened and polymer- thickened products used in wildland fire operations. Without a conversion table, the flow-through times can be used to determine batch to batch consistency of a single product, and in limited circumstances to compare similar products. The directions for use of a Marsh Funnel are given below. The procedures for modifying the Marsh Funnel for use in determining the viscosity of long-term retardants (Forest Service modification) and the consistency of water enhancers (California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, CDF modification) are provided in the following pages. Materials: Marsh Funnel (Use small tip, 3/16” diameter, for low-viscosity products such as Phos-Chek 259 or Phos-Chek LC-95A. Use the large tip, 17/64” diameter, for high- viscosity products such as Phos-Chek D75.) Container marked to 1 quart, a tall straight-sided container is best Stopwatch or timer with a “time up” function Thermometer Method: 1. Allow the test sample to stand until it reaches room temperature (70°F) and all air bubbles are dissipated since both of these factors have an influence on viscosity. 2. Ensure that the properly modified funnel is clean and dry and secured in an upright position (a ring stand works fine). 3. Cover the funnel orifice with a finger while pouring the test sample through the screen until the sample exactly reaches the bottom of the screen.

  • Ultraviolet – Visible Spectroscopy for Determination of Α- and Β- Acids in Beer Hops
    Isabella Pinque Chem219 Page 1 UV-Vis Spectrophotometric Analysis of Beer Hops date: 3/14/2018 Ultraviolet – Visible Spectroscopy For Determination of α- and β- acids in beer hops Isabella Pinque Lab Partner: Lucas Paquin TA: Kevin Fischer Date lab performed: 02/06/2018 Date report submitted: 03/14/2018 Isabella Pinque Chem 219 page 1 UV-Vis Spectrophotometric Analysis of Beer Hops date: 3/14/2018 ABSTRACT A spectrophotometric analysis at three wavelengths was used to determine the concentration of α-acids, β-acids, and a third component that is associated with the degradation of hops. Two different samples of a simple extraction of hops were analyzed using a Shimadzu UV2450 to determine the concentration of each component. While doing a three component analysis, the third break down component had the highest concentration within the hops sample (0.05391 g/L ± 0.00493) , followed by the α-acids (0.01507 g/L ± 0.001291) and finally β-acids (0.005062 ± 0.0004816). When doing a two component analysis, the α-acid had a higher concentration than the β-acids, 0.01783 ± 0.001539 and 0.004354 ± 0.0004520, respectively. When taking the percentage of all three components, the overall percent did not add up to 1 due to the fact that there are more than just three components in the samples. In conclusion, the α-acids are more prevalent in a sample of hops which can be taken into consideration when home brewing to achieve the bitterness and the flavor desired. INTRODUCTION Hops are an essential aspect of the brewing process that provide flavor and aromas due to the oils and resins that reside in the lupulin glands of a hops cone (1).

  • Laboratory Equipment Used in Filtration
    KNOW YOUR LAB EQUIPMENTS Test tube A test tube, also known as a sample tube, is a common piece of laboratory glassware consisting of a finger-like length of glass or clear plastic tubing, open at the top and closed at the bottom. Beakers Beakers are used as containers. They are available in a variety of sizes. Although they often possess volume markings, these are only rough estimates of the liquid volume. The markings are not necessarily accurate. Erlenmeyer flask Erlenmeyer flasks are often used as reaction vessels, particularly in titrations. As with beakers, the volume markings should not be considered accurate. Volumetric flask Volumetric flasks are used to measure and store solutions with a high degree of accuracy. These flasks generally possess a marking near the top that indicates the level at which the volume of the liquid is equal to the volume written on the outside of the flask. These devices are often used when solutions containing dissolved solids of known concentration are needed. Graduated cylinder Graduated cylinders are used to transfer liquids with a moderate degree of accuracy. Pipette Pipettes are used for transferring liquids with a fixed volume and quantity of liquid must be known to a high degree of accuracy. Graduated pipette These Pipettes are calibrated in the factory to release the desired quantity of liquid. Disposable pipette Disposable transfer. These Pipettes are made of plastic and are useful for transferring liquids dropwise. Burette Burettes are devices used typically in analytical, quantitative chemistry applications for measuring liquid solution. Differing from a pipette since the sample quantity delivered is changeable, graduated Burettes are used heavily in titration experiments.

  • Methods and Techniques for Nematology
    METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR NEMATOLOGY By J. van Bezooijen Revised version 2006 PREFACE This Manual ‘Methods and Techniques for Nematology’ is based on the ‘Manual for Practical Work in Nematology’ (s’Jacob & van Bezooijen 1984), which has been thoroughly revised. The ‘Practicumhandleiding Nematologie’ (van Bezooijen & Ettema 1996) was the basis for even further revision. The final product, which you will be using now, does not pretend to be complete, but is an augmented and in many parts corrected version of the earlier manuals. The author is greatly indebted to A. Raeymaekers for preparing the final layout and for her useful proposals to increase the readability. Her impressive computer skills contributed substantially to a higher quality of the book. Additional improvements and corrections may remain necessary and the author welcomes any comments and suggestions. In spite of this, hopefully this manual will be useful to you Wageningen, December 2006 CONTENT PREFACE CONTENT CHAPTER 1. SAMPLING 2 1.1. PRACTICAL AND THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS 2 1.1.1.

  • A Modified Device for Rapid Selection of Soil and Water Nematodes from Mixed Suspension
    Nematol. medit. (1976), 4: 245-247. I Section of Plant Pathology and Nematology, Department of Botany, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh-202001, India A MODIFIED DEVICE FOR RAPID SELECTION OF SOIL AND WATER NEMATODES FROM MIXED SUSPENSION by M.M. ALAM An earlier device (Alam, 1975) for selectively picking up large number of soil or fresh water nematodes was modified and appears to be an improvement over similar devices (Minteer, 1965; Shukla et aI., 1971; Khan et al., 1972) because of its speed and semplicity. The entire apparatus can be easily assembled in any laboratory and does not require any specialised components. Assembley and opera­ tion details are as follows: Construction details: Two L-shaped glass tubes (0.5 cm dia­ meter) of 4 and 5 cm lengths were inserted into the neck of a sepa­ rating funnel 'D' (l00 ml capacity) with the help of an air tight rubber stopper. One of the L-shaped tubes (5 cm length) was con­ nected through a rubber tubing (75 cm length, 0.5 cm diameter) to anoter glass tube' E' (15 cm length, 0.7 cm diameter) which was provided with a fine tip (7 cm length). The other L-shaped tube (4 cm length) was connected through a rubber tubing (0.5 cm diameter) of desirable length, to an aspirator' B ' (syn. filter pump) which was attached to a water tap' A'. The separating funnel was supported by a retort stand ' C' (Fig. 1). Operation: Before use, the stopper of the separating funnel , D' was closed and then the water tap 'A' was opened to start suction of air into the aspirator' B' resulting in a partial vacuum in the separating funnel' D '.
