  • Use of Laboratory Equipement
    USE OF LABORATORY EQUIPEMENT C. Laboratory Thermometers Most thermometers are based upon the principle that liquids expand when heated. Most common thermometers use mercury or colored alcohol as the liquid. These thermometers are constructed as that a uniform-diameter capillary tube surmounts a liquid reservoir. To calibrate a thermometer, one defines two reference points, normally the freezing point of water (0°C, 32°F) and the boiling point of water (100°C, 212°F) at 1 tam of pressure (1 tam = 760 mm Hg). Once these points are marked on the capillary, its length is then subdivided into uniform divisions called degrees. There are 100° between these two points on the Celsius (°C, or centigrade) scale and 180° between those two points on the Fahrenheit (°F) scale. °F = 1.8 °C + 32 The Thermometer and Its Calibration This section describes the proper technique for checking the accuracy of your thermometer. These measurements will show how measured temperatures (read from thermometer) compare with true temperatures (the boiling and freezing points of water). The freezing point of water is 0°C; the boiling point depends upon atmospheric pressure but at sea level it is 100°C. Option 1: Place approximately 50 mL of ice in a 250-mL beaker and cover the ice with distilled water. Allow about 15 min for the mixture to come to equilibrium and then measure and record the temperature of the mixture. Theoretically, this temperature is 0°C. Option 2: Set up a 250-mL beaker on a wire gauze and iron ring. Fill the beaker about half full with distilled water.

  • The-Pathologists-Microscope.Pdf
    The Pathologist’s Microscope The Pathologist’s Microscope Rudolf Virchow, the father of Pathology, had available to him wonderful microscopes during the 1850’s to 1880’s, but the one you have now is far better. Your microscope is the most highly perfected of all scientific instruments. These brief notes on alignment, the objective lens, the condenser, and the eyepieces are what you need to know to get the most out of your microscope and to feel comfortable using it. Figure 1 illustrates the important parts of a generic modern light microscope. Figure 1 - Parts of the Microscope UNC Pathology & Lab Med, MSL, July 2013 1 The Pathologist’s Microscope Alignment August Köhler, in 1870, invented the method for aligning the microscope’s optical system that is still used in all modern microscopes. To get the most from your microscope it should be Köhler aligned. Here is how: 1. Focus a specimen slide at 10X. 2. Open the field iris and the condenser iris. 3. Observe the specimen and close the field iris until its shadow appears on the specimen. 4. Use the condenser focus knob to bring the field iris into focus on the specimen. Try for as sharp an image of the iris as you can get. If you can’t focus the field iris, check the condenser for a flip-in lens and find the configuration that lets you see the field iris. You may also have to move the field iris into the field of view (step 5) if it is grossly misaligned. 5.Center the field iris with the condenser centering screws.

Weidner, Ph.D.,8 Mary Jo Wildey, Ph.D.,9 and Jayme L. Dahlin, M.D., Ph.D. 7,10 Created: June 1, 2020. Abstract High-throughput screening (HTS) can efficiently assay multiple discrete biological reactions using multi-well microplates. The choice of microplate is a crucial yet often overlooked technical decision in HTS and quantitative biology. This chapter reviews key criteria for microplate selection, including: well number, well volume and shape, microplate color, surface treatments/coatings, and considerations for specialized applications such as high-content screening. This chapter then provides important technical advice for microplate handling including mixing, dispensing, incubation, and centrifugation. Special topics are discussed, including microplate surface properties, plate washing, well-to-well contamination, microplate positional effects, well-to-well and inter-lot variability, and troubleshooting. This information and best practices derived from academic, government, and industry screening centers, as well as microplate vendors, should accelerate assay development and enhance assay quality.

  • PLATE READER INTRODUCTION Selecting the Right Plate Reader for Your Lab Can Be Challenging
    CHOOSING THE RIGHT PLATE READER INTRODUCTION Selecting the right plate reader for your lab can be challenging. There are multiple factors to consider including: detection type, additional features, support, and price. With numerous options for each variable, it can be confusing to navigate the selection process. Focusing on striking a balance between functionality, optimization, and growth potential requires keen insight and continued vendor support throughout the life cycle of the plate reader. This detailed guide will help you choose the right plate reader for your needs by examining the marketplace and pointing out considerations to keep in mind when making your decision. UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS A few key questions can help customers navigate toward the best fit for a reader meeting the individual specification requirements for your lab: What detection technology should you look for when selecting a plate reader for your lab? Is this technology ideal for multiple therapeutic areas? How can you get the best performance optimization out of your reader? What support options does your vendor offer in conjunction with the purchase? WHAT DETECTION TECHNOLOGY SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR WHEN SELECTING A PLATE READER FOR YOUR LAB? Whether a lab performs development, high-throughput screening, or a more specialized area of focus, a reader should offer, at minimum, the requirements needed for each individual laboratory. For example, a growing lab focused on performing reporter gene assays requires a plate reader that delivers on the importance of sensitivity while offering the potential for future upgrades or additional features as the lab matures over time. Vendors with reader option focused on providing sensitivity, speed, and multiplex capabilities can meet the sensitivity needs of reporter gene assay performance while offering additional reading technologies for customization and accommodating the fluctuation of industry trends in support of long-term growth.
