One of these is to reinforce those concepts being taught in the classroom. The other is to obtain practical experience in the utilization of chemical laboratory equipment. The laboratory component of this course is vital to fully mastering the competencies for this course. As we proceed through the semester, hopefully the labs will fulfill these purposes. Although each lab is designed with the above criteria in mind, the first goal is SAFETY. Lab safety is always a primary concern in designing any experiment. Careful thought has been given in the design of each of the labs that you will perform. But chemistry labs involve using glassware, heating compounds, reacting dangerous chemicals, and other hazards. Therefore, during this lab, we will spend a significant amount of time discussing safety. Once we have discussed lab safety, you will be introduced to some considerations when dealing with chemicals and some of the equipment that you will be using this semester. Being able to properly work with chemicals and identify glassware and other equipment is essential for conducting labs. Another skill that will be needed throughout the semester is the ability to graph data We will discuss proper graphing techniques during this lab. I have included an exercise sheet entitled “Graphing Exercises” in this lab. Page 2 LAB SAFETY There is NO substitute for being safe in the laboratory. Therefore, each of us must follow the safety rules listed below. 1 If you are nursing, pregnant or become pregnant during the semester, inform your instructor. 2 Goggles (or other approved eye protection) must be worn at all times when chemicals are being used in the lab. Your lab instructor will determine if eye protection is needed in the lab. If you wear glasses, you must wear goggles over them unless they are safety approved for use in the lab. Contact lenses are allowed in the lab. 3 Close-toed shoes must be worn in the lab. Flip flops or open-toed shoes are not allowed. The reason for this is that containers of chemicals may be dropped to the floor or if glassware is broken, cuts can easily occur if the feet are not properly covered. 4 Food or drinks are not allowed in the lab. Also, you should not place candy, gum, etc. in your mouth while in the lab. 5 Many of the chemicals used in the labs are poisonous. Poisons can easily enter the body via three routes: inhalation, ingestion, or absorption. Inhalation - breathing in vapors. When it is necessary to smell a chemical or the gas produced in a reaction, use your can to gently waft the chemical to your nose and breathe in slightly. DO NOT inhale deeply as the odor may be very intense. Ingestion - taking in by the mouth. This is the major reason why food and drinks are not allowed in the lab. After working in the lab, it is mandatory that you wash your hands thoroughly. Also, many students find that they need to wash their forearms since chemicals may have splashed onto them. Absorption - passing through the skin. If you spill chemicals on your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. Also, if you are wearing rings or a watch, be certain to wash underneath them. As an added note, your hands are rough and callused and you may not notice if they have chemicals on them. Therefore, you need to wash your hands prior to using the restroom and ALWAYS wash your hands prior to placing them near your eyes or mouth. Page 3 LAB SAFETY (CONTINUED) 6 Many of the labs involve the used of chemicals and/or a burner. Therefore long hair should be placed into a ponytail or otherwise tied back during these labs. 7 Each of you should become familiar with the location and operation of the eye wash and safety shower located in the lab. If you get any chemical in your eyes, IMMEDIATELY rinse your eyes in the eye wash. Please assist any student to the eye wash station since he/she may not be able to find it in an emergency. If hazardous chemicals are splashed onto a large area of clothing, it is imperative that you get to the safety shower as quickly as possible. Also, since the shower needs to come in contact with your skin (not your clothing), you must remove the affected clothing. Although this may seem extreme, it is necessary. 8 You should also make yourself familiar with the location of the exits (including the emergency exit). 9 All accidents or injuries (no matter how insignificant or small) must be reported to your lab instructor. 10 Fires are a hazard that may occur during many lab experiments. Most fires can be allowed to burn themselves out or smothered by covering them. In the case of a major fire, notify your lab instructor and evacuate the lab. 11 Purses, backpacks, coats, etc. should be moved to the area designated by your instructor to prevent chemicals being spilled on them. Also these items present a major trip hazard in the lab. The only items that need to be kept at the lab bench are those that will be used during the lab. 12 When holding or heating a test tube, never point it toward yourself or anyone else. 13 Hot glassware and cold glassware look the same. To test if glassware is hot, place your hand near it. If the air is warm, them the glassware is probably hot. 14 When diluting acids, always add the acid to water. This will allow heat to dissipate more easily and also if a splash occurs, the more dilute solution will be splashed out of the container. 15 If you break glassware, notify your instructor to receive a replacement. Never dispose of broken glassware in the trash can. Always dispose of broken glass in the broken glass containers. Page 4 LAB SAFETY (CONTINUED) 16 Not all chemicals can be disposed of by placing in the trash can or pouring down the drain. Your instructor will provide instructions for the disposal of chemicals. Paper, matches, and compounds that do not dissolve in water should NOT be washed down the sink. 17 An MSDS (Material Data Safety Sheet) is available for each of the chemicals used in your labs. It is your right to review these sheets if you desire. 18 If you spill chemicals during the lab, clean them up immediately. 19 After completing your lab, clean all glassware and place it back into the draw. Wipe down your lab bench and leave the lab ready for the next group of students. PROPER USE OF CHEMICALS 1 Only open one reagent container at a time and replace the lid or stopper after use. This will prevent cross-contamination of reagents. Do not lay lids or stoppers down since they can become contaminated or they could contaminate the lab bench. 2 When dispensing from a large container, it may be useful to pour into a small beaker first. 3 Do not dispense more chemicals than needed. DO NOT pour unused chemicals back into the dispensing bottle. 4 When dispensing solids, do not interchange spatulas. Put the lid on the container after you have dispensed the reagent needed. 5 When using a balance, never weigh directly onto the pan. Use weighing paper or weigh into a container such as a beaker. CLEAN THE BALANCE AFTER USE. Page 5 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR LAB SAFETY AND PROPER USE OF CHEMICALS 1. What equipment is needed for eye protection? 2. Where is the location of the eye wash stations? Explain how to use the eye wash. 3. What are the three methods that poison easily enters the body? 4. When is it necessary to report an accident or injury in the lab? 5. Where should all unnecessary clothing, backpacks, purses, etc. be placed while conducting labs? 6. How should broken glass be disposed? 7. Where should trash, paper, and other non-hazardous solids be disposed? 8. What is an MSDS and do you have access to it? 9. Whose responsibility is it to maintain a clean lab and clean the glassware in the lab drawers? 10.

  • Maintenance of Bacterial Strains
    Maintenance of Bacterial Strains Short-term growth and maintenance The simplest method for obtaining strains is to order them from a microbiological supply company. Presque Isle, Ward, and Carolina Biological (see “Resources” page of the Microbes Web site: www.umsl.edu/~microbes) are economical sources of strains that are commonly used in the classroom. Another possible source is a local college or university that teaches a microbiology lab course. If they have strains already prepared for their class, they will probably be willing to provide you with a culture. This is probably not a reasonable ongoing source of strains, but can be useful in an emergency. For short-term maintenance and use, it is best to streak bacteria on some type of rich agar petri plate, such as nutrient agar. Label and date the plate on the bottom of the plate. Streak from the source culture using good sterile technique. The quadrant streak method (see the article on quadrant streaking) is good for obtaining well-isolated colonies. Incubate the plate only until good colonies have formed. Do not leave the culture in the incubator beyond that time, or the cells will die on the plate. Store the plate in the refrigerator. It will keep for about a month. For class use, it is best to streak a fresh plate 2-3 days before the strain will be needed for class. Use the fresh plate as the source of cultures for the class. For broth cultures for a class, it is best to grow a larger volume culture in a flask (if possible, with shaking) overnight and then dispense aliquots of the master culture into sterile test tubes using a sterile pipette.

Received: 27 December 2013; in revised form: 12 February 2014 / Accepted: 18 February 2014 / Published: 27 February 2014 Abstract: A universal pH indicator is used to fabricate a fiber optic ammonia sensor. The advantage of this pH indicator is that it exhibits sensitivity to ammonia over a broad wavelength range. This provides a differential response, with a valley around 500 nm and a peak around 650 nm, which allows us to perform ratiometric measurements. The ratiometric measurements provide not only an enhanced signal, but can also eliminate any external disturbance due to humidity or temperature fluctuations.

  • Detergent Residue Testing Using a Ph Meter, Ph Indicator, Or Test Kit
    Alconox, Inc. The Leader in Critical Cleaning 30 Glenn St. White Plains NY 10603 USA Tel 914.948.4040 Fax 914-948-4088 www.alconox.com [email protected] Detergent Residue Testing Using a pH Meter, pH indicator, or Test Kit The following test procedures are suitable for detecting detergent residues resulting from improper rinsing and can be used to meet laboratory accreditation guidelines and questionnaires such as the College of American Pathologist program of State water lab accreditation programs. A. pH Meter Method 1. Rinse a small clean beaker by filling and emptying 3 times with source water. 2. Fill a 4th time and measure pH using a pH meter. Record the pH as source water pH. 3. Using a piece of cleaned glassware you wish to test, fill about 10% full with source water (10ml into 100ml beaker). Use more water if necessary to get enough water to be able to sufficiently immerse the pH meter electrode in your measuring beaker. 4. Swish water in glassware to extract residues from all possible surfaces. 5. Take pH reading with pH meter and record as glassware pH. 6. Any significant increase in pH indicates possible alkaline detergent residue. A significant change is 0.2 or more pH units on a pH meter measuring to 0.1 pH units of sensitivity. A result of less than 0.2-pH units change indicates properly rinsed glassware. Note: If deionized water is used as the sample water, a slight amount (10-20 mg/L) of reagent grade, non-buffering salt (NaCl, CaCl2) should be added to the sample water to allow pH meter to function properly.
