    Study Notes

    Laboratory Safety

    • Wear a lab coat and safety glasses at all times.
    • Hair must be covered when handling flammable materials.
    • Use gloves and protective gear based on experiment requirements.
    • Avoid sandals or open-toed shoes to minimize skin exposure to chemicals.
    • Clothing made of synthetic fibers should be avoided due to high flammability risks.
    • Protective glasses are essential to shield eyes from chemicals and gases.
    • Jewelry and adornments, such as chains or rings, should not be worn during lab activities to prevent accidents.

    Writing a Laboratory Report

    • Introduction: State the experiment's name and its purpose.
    • Method: Document the experimental steps in the past tense, closely following the practical manual.
    • Discussion and Conclusion: Analyze results thoughtfully without merely repeating them. Formulate relevant questions in the introduction to guide the discussion. Ensure the discussion is engaging and has a clear purpose.
    • Data Presentation: Use tables or graphical forms for presenting results, ensuring they are numbered, titled, and include standardized concentrations.

    Equipment Used in Enzyme Laboratory

    • Centrifuge:
      • Separates fluids based on density by spinning at high speeds.
      • Commonly used to purify cells, organelles, viruses, proteins, and nucleic acids in various research types.
      • Available in different types, including large floor models and micro-centrifuges.

    Operating a Centrifuge

    • Insert test tube samples into designated portals.

    • Add water-filled test tubes as needed for balance.

    • Secure the lid and select appropriate settings.

    • Start the centrifuge and await the completion of the cycle.

    • pH Meter:

      • Measures the concentration of H+ ions in a solution, indicating its acidity or alkalinity.
      • The meter needs to be calibrated; immerse the electrode in distilled water before transitioning to a buffer solution (pH = 7).
