  • Bunsen Burner Safety

    Bunsen Burner Safety

    Proper Use of a Bunsen Burner If using a Bunsen burner in a biological safety cabinet, see: http://research.wayne.edu/oehs/pdf/gas-in-bsc.pdf Prior to Lighting Bunsen Burner: • Know the location of the laboratory’s main gas shut off valve and fire extinguisher. • Place the Bunsen burner away from any overhead shelving, equipment, or light fixtures by at least 12 inches. • Remove all papers, notebooks, combustible materials, and excess chemicals from the area. • Tie-back any long hair, dangling jewelry, or loose clothing. • Use correct tubing (butyl rubber hose). Inspect hose for cracks, holes, pinch points, or any defect and replace if necessary. Ensure that the hose fits securely on the gas valve and the burner. • Notify others in the lab that the burner will be in use. Lighting Bunsen Burner: • Before turning on gas, have a sparker/lighter with extended nozzle to ignite burner. Never use matches. • Check connections to burner and desk outlet valve. • Close needle valve and collar. • Open gas valve fully. • Open needle valve 1/2 turn. • Use the spark/lighter to light the flame. • Adjust flame by turning the collar to regulate air flow and produce an appropriate flame for the experiment (typically a medium blue flame). During Use: • Never leave a lighted burner unattended. Drafts (including those created by a hood) may extinguish the flame, but the gas will still be on. This could result in an explosion. • Never face the vessel (test tube, beaker, etc.) being used to heat a material toward yourself or others near the burner. In some experiments, a hot plate may be used in place of the Bunsen burner.
  • SF#11086 Sterilization and Aseptic Technique

    SF#11086 Sterilization and Aseptic Technique

    Publication No. 11086 Sterilization and Aseptic Technique Introduction Microbiology lab activities are common in middle school and high school life science courses. Learning basic microbiology lab techniques and procedures is interesting and relevant to most students—many of them, after all, have had at least one throat culture or other microbiology lab test in their lives. The requirements for safe microbiological work in the classroom include the knowledge and practice of aseptic technique and sterilization procedures. Standard Microbiology Practices The federal government has outlined general safety standards for microbiological work in their publication Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories. Biosafety Level I (BSL 1) practices described in this book are appropriate for secondary educational teaching laboratories. BSL 1 work involves using strains of viable, nonpathogenic microorganisms that are known not to cause disease in healthy adult humans and are thus of minimal potential hazard to students, teachers or the environ- ment. The level of containment in BSL 1 relies on standard microbiological practices in laboratory settings. Students and lab per- sonnel should receive specific training in the procedures conducted in the laboratory. Standard microbiological practices include: • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after handling viable materials, after performing microbiological transfers and observations or working with potentially hazardous materials, and before leaving the laboratory. • Eating, drinking, smoking, handling of contact lenses, applying cosmetics, and storing food for human use are not permit- ted in laboratory work areas. • Pipetting by mouth is prohibited—use only mechanical pipetting devices. • There should be policies and procedures for safe disposal of sharps, including broken glassware.
  • Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater

    Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater

    Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater Part 1000 INTRODUCTION 1010 INTRODUCTION 1010 A. Scope and Application of Methods The procedures described in these standards are intended for the examination of waters of a wide range of quality, including water suitable for domestic or industrial supplies, surface water, ground water, cooling or circulating water, boiler water, boiler feed water, treated and untreated municipal or industrial wastewater, and saline water. The unity of the fields of water supply, receiving water quality, and wastewater treatment and disposal is recognized by presenting methods of analysis for each constituent in a single section for all types of waters. An effort has been made to present methods that apply generally. Where alternative methods are necessary for samples of different composition, the basis for selecting the most appropriate method is presented as clearly as possible. However, samples with extreme concentrations or otherwise unusual compositions or characteristics may present difficulties that preclude the direct use of these methods. Hence, some modification of a procedure may be necessary in specific instances. Whenever a procedure is modified, the analyst should state plainly the nature of modification in the report of results. Certain procedures are intended for use with sludges and sediments. Here again, the effort has been to present methods of the widest possible application, but when chemical sludges or slurries or other samples of highly unusual composition are encountered, the methods of this manual may require modification or may be inappropriate. Most of the methods included here have been endorsed by regulatory agencies. Procedural modification without formal approval may be unacceptable to a regulatory body.

    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.

    Bunsen Burner Lab Gas regulator knob Name: _____________________________________________ Period: ________ Date: __________ Score:_________ I. Background—Parts of the Bunsen burner Name of Part Function Barrel Air intake openings (holes) Needle valve Gas regulator knob Base Gas intake tubing Gas valve II. Burner flame characteristics A) Close the air holes at the base of the burner. The flame now has a(n) _________________________________ color. This is called a luminous flame. With the crucible tongs, hold a dry porcelain evaporating dish in the tip of the flame for about a minute. A(n) __________________________________________ color deposit of what appears to be ____________________________________ forms on the dish. This deposit comes from the incompletely burned gas. B) Now open the air holes and note the change in the appearance of the flame. The flame now becomes a(n) ____________________________________ color. This is called a nonluminous flame. (NOTE: If too much air is admitted, the flame may “strike back” and burn at the base. If a burner strikes back, the gas must be turned off, the air supply decreased, and the burner relighted.) Regulate the air and gas supply so that the flame is as colorless and quiet as possible. Clean the evaporating dish by means of water and a paper towel and hold the DRY dish in this nonluminous flame. Does the bottom of the dish now become coated as before with the luminous flame?________________________________________________ Bunsen Burner Lab Gas regulator knob Name: _____________________________________________ Period: ________ Date: __________ Score:_________ I.
