Study Notes
Laboratory Room
- A laboratory room is a controlled environment designed for scientific research, experiments, analysis, and measurement.
- It's equipped with specialized instruments, tools, and safety equipment to support accurate and safe experiments.
Laboratory Instruments
- Evaporating dish: Used for evaporating liquids.
- Bacterial loop: Used in microbiology for transferring small amounts of bacterial cultures.
- Bunsen burner: A gas burner used to heat samples and sterilize equipment.
- Wire brush: Used to clean laboratory glassware.
- Crucible and cover: Used for high-temperature experiments, often in chemical reactions.
- 24-well plate: A multi-well plate, offering many small reaction chambers
- Test-tube rack: A multi-compartment stand for holding test tubes.
- Mortar and pestle: Tools used to grind substances.
- Lab burner: Used to heat samples in a controlled environment
- Forceps: Used for handling small objects.
- Wash bottle: Used for rinsing and cleaning laboratory equipment.
Laboratory Glasses
- Pipet: Used for accurately measuring and transferring small volumes of liquids.
- Watch glass: A shallow dish used for covering beakers or other vessels.
- Funnel: Used to pour liquids into containers with narrow openings.
- Dropper: Used for dispensing small drops of liquids.
- Petri dishes: Used for growing bacteria or other microorganisms in culture.
- Graduated cylinder: Used to measure definite volumes of liquid.
- Volumetric flask: Used to prepare solutions.
- Conical flask: A flask with a cone-shaped bottom, used for mixing and heating liquids.
Preventive Measures in the Laboratory
- Listen to instructions carefully before starting any procedure.
- Wear safety goggles to protect eyes.
- Notify teachers about accidents or accidents.
- Wash hands after handling chemicals.
- Keep hands away from face.
- Tie back long hair.
- Roll up loose sleeves.
- Know the location of fire extinguishers and other safety equipment.
- Keep the work area uncluttered. Only necessary materials should be present at the station.
- Wear appropriate eyewear, even if not required to prevent eye damage.
- No eating or drinking in the laboratory.
- Comply with all safety instructions and guidelines.
Safety Signs
- Safety signs are standardized symbols that communicate important safety information to protect lab personnel and visitors.
- Examples of signs include those for eye wash, emergency showers, wash hands before leaving, and warnings about toxic chemicals and radioactive materials.
Microbiology
-
Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms.
-
Organisms can be unicellular, multicellular or acellular.
-
Prokaryotic cells - Simple, single-celled organisms without a membrane-bound nucleus and other organelles.
-
Eukaryotic cells - More complex, with a well-defined nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
Bacterial Cell Structures
- Coccus: Spherical
- Coccobacillus: Oval-shaped
- Vibrio: Curved rod-shaped
- Bacillus: Rod-shaped
- Spirillum: Spiral-shaped
- Spirochete: Spiral-shaped with flexible cell walls
Bacterial Aggregation
- Bacteria are classified based on their shapes and how they group together. different shapes lead to different bacteria forms.
