Never overload the Sterilizer, sterilization may never be achieved. 2. LIQUID cycles are only for the sterilization of Liquids, DO NOT USE ANY OTHER CYCLE for Liquids. 3. When processing LIQUIDS, use containers with vented closures..do not use ordinary glass bottles or any containers not designed for this purpose. 4. NEVER sterilize sealed containers in a cycle other than a LIQUIDS cycle, rapid pressure changes in other cycles can cause explosive results. 5. NEVER obstruct the drains in the bottom of the chamber, always load in a manner where no objects will touch or move to chamber walls. 6. ALWAYS use “hot gloves” when loading or unloading the sterilizer, before or after a cycle…. ALWAYS assume the door, walls, racks, and/or gurney are HOT! 7. ALWAYS place “hot gloves” on the ends of a loading cart to indicate to others that the cart and labware are HOT!

  • Uv and Visible Spectroscopy1
    Page 1 of 4 I. INTRODUCTION TO UV AND VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY1 When white light passes through or is reflected by a colored substance, a characteristic portion of the mixed wavelengths is absorbed. The remaining light will then assume the complementary color to the wavelength(s) absorbed. Thus, absorption of 420-430 nm light renders a substance yellow, and absorption of 500-520 nm light makes it red. Green is unique in that it can be created by absorption close to 400 nm as well as absorption near 800 nm. When sample molecules are exposed to light having an energy that matches a possible electronic transition within the molecule, some of the light energy will be absorbed as the electron is promoted to a higher energy orbital. An optical spectrometer records the wavelengths at which absorption occurs, together with the degree of absorption at each wavelength. The resulting spectrum is presented as a graph of absorbance (A) versus wavelength. Absorbance usually ranges from 0 (no absorption) to 2 (99% absorption), and is precisely defined in context with spectrometer operation. Because the absorbance of a sample will be proportional to the number of absorbing molecules in the spectrometer light beam (e.g. their molar concentration in the sample tube), it is necessary to correct the absorbance value for this and other operational factors if the spectra of different compounds are to be compared in a meaningful way. The corrected absorption value is called "molar absorptivity", and is particularly useful when comparing the spectra of different compounds and determining the relative strength of light absorbing functions (chromophores).

TECHNIQUES OF CELL AND TISSUE CULTURE Tissue culture is the growth of tissues or cells separate from the organism. This is typically facilitated via use of a liquid, semi-solid, or solid growth medium, such as broth or agar. Tissue culture commonly refers to the culture of animal cells and tissues. The principal purpose of cell, tissue and organ culture is to isolate, at each level of organization, the parts from the whole organism for study in experimentally controlled environments. It is characteristic of intact organisms that a high degree of interrelationship exists and interaction occurs between the component parts. Cultivation in vitro places cells beyond the effects of the organism as a whole and of the products of all cells other than those introduced into the culture. Artificial environments may be designed to imitate the natural physiological one, or varied at will by the deliberate introduction of particular variables and stresses. Virtually all types of cells or aggregates of cells may be studied in culture. Living cells can be examined by cine photomicrography, and by direct, phase-contrast, interference, fluorescence, or ultraviolet microscopy.

  • 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.

  • Lab 1(Nature of Matter)
    Chemistry 108, Spring 2017 Lab 1: Exploring the Nature of Matter Goals: In this lab you will explore chemical and physical changes of matter. For your first lab experience, you do not need to write a laboratory report. Instead, write thorough observations and answer the questions given on this lab handout. When answering the questions, make sure you address what is happening on the atomic level. Procedure: Part One: Physical Changes 1. Add the same number of drops of food coloring to two samples of water, one at room temperature and one at 80°C. Record all observations. Why does the food coloring spread faster in the 80°C water versus the water at room temperature? 2. Add 150 mL of water to a 400-mL beaker and bring the water to a boil. Place a watch glass over the beaker and add ice to the top of the watch glass. Record all observations of the underside of the watch glass. Why do water droplets form on the underside of the watch glass? 3. Add ice and water to a 250-mL beaker. Let stand for a few minutes. Record all observations of the outside of the beaker. Why do water droplets form on the outside of the beaker? 4. Place a piece of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide, CO2) in a baggie and seal it. Place a piece of dry ice in water. Place a piece of dry ice on the lab bench. (NOTE: Use gloves when handling the dry ice. It is VERY cold and can “burn” your skin.) Record all observations.
