Study Notes
Gel Electrophoresis
- Precision in gel electrophoresis refers to the closeness of the results obtained from repeated measurements.
Analytical Chemistry
- 'Repeatability' in analytical chemistry refers to the ability of a measurement technique to produce the same result when repeated under the same conditions.
Technique Evaluation
- Standard deviation is used to evaluate precision in terms of the spread of results.
- The technique that assesses precision based on replicate measurements performed by the same person, at the same time, on the same sample is repeatability.
Laboratory Equipment
- A volumetric flask is used to prepare and mix solutions of precise concentrations in a laboratory setting.
- A crucible tongs is the most suitable tool for holding a hot beaker in a laboratory.
- A pipette is commonly used for accurate measurement of liquid volumes.
- A burette is used to measure the volume of a liquid accurately, especially in titration reactions.
Laboratory Techniques
- Filtration is the laboratory technique that involves separating solid particles from a liquid by pouring the liquid through a filter.
- Litmus paper is used to test the pH of a substance in a laboratory.
Laboratory Safety
- A spatula is commonly used for transferring small amounts of solid chemicals.
- The cover of reagents should be placed upside down to prevent contamination.
- When heating liquid in a test tube, the liquid should be heated slowly and carefully to prevent boiling or splashing.
- When transferring liquid to a container with a narrow mouth, the liquid should be poured slowly and carefully to prevent spills.
- Solutions of acids and bases should be diluted in large amounts of water before disposal down the sink to prevent damage to the drain or pipes.
- When heating liquid in a test tube, the tube should be held at an angle and the heat source should be removed as soon as the liquid starts to boil.
- The wafting method is used when smelling solid or liquid substances to prevent inhaling the vapors directly.
