There are different uses of stains. One of these is by defining and examining: bulk tissues through highlighting muscle fibers or connective tissue, and cell populations by classifying different blood cells or organelles within the cells. (Staining. (2017, February 28). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 11:28, April 11, 2017, from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Staining&oldid=767802899)
Cell staining is used to better visualize cells and its components such as nucleus and cell wall under a microscope which would otherwise not be seen clearly. Stains can be used both on living and non-living or fixed cells. Enumeration of cells to determine biomass is done through cell staining (Bruckner,

Genuine work on histological dye staining, though, started not before the second half of 19th century in which carmine or cochineal was the most used dye. General stains will dye the tissue uniformly while selective stains will dye only the tissue components in which they have natural affinity for. Dyes can be roughly divided into acidic dyes and basic dyes. Basic dyes stain acidic components while acidic dyes stain basic components. P. Ehrlich used a method for mixing acidic and basic dyes that has become an important milestone in the development of staining techniques. The intensity and contrast of microscopic pictures are determined by the quality of the dye solution and the procedure used. There are two viewpoints on the division of dyes – chemical and practical classification. In chemical classification, organic dyes are divided into azo dyes, nitro and nitroso dyes, chinone dyes, di- and triphenylmethan dyes, xanthenes dyes, acidrine dyes, azine dyes, oxazine dyes, thiazine dyes, and vat dye. On the other hand, practical classification divides dyes based on their coloring effect: basic dyes, acidic dyes, substantive dyes, and mordant dyes (Kuhlmann,

    The purpose of the Determining Food Dye Content Lab was to identify the food dye coloring in green apple Gatorade, and determine the dye’s concentration to ultimately recreate a solution containing the same concentration of dyes as the original. To determine the concentration of the dyes present in the green apple Gatorade, a spectrometer was used to measure the wavelengths and absorbance values for the given dyes. A sample of the green apple Gatorade was tested in the spectrometer to measure its absorption and compare the values collected to stock dyes provided in lab. The data displayed that the green apple Gatorade contained blue-1 food dye because the Gatorade’s wavelength at peak one was 422.3 Nm, and blue-1 food dye’s peak one was 423.7+-.1.5…

    “The glue is not one thing; it is a variety of different molecules that connect and lie between our cells” (123). This glue and molecular structure gives each cell and tissue their distinct functions. What makes many different body parts different is how the materials like cells and tissues are arranged and attached to each other, like the eye and leg. This indicates that every tissue alignment is different in it’s own way and can be identified with it’s organism. The author had his students try to identify each tissue under a slide and it is possible, but very…

    No, I would not recommend Acai Berry as a method of weight loss for people to try. Even though there are many marketers out there that have a way with words, and are able to successfully promote this product, they should not always be trusted with what they are selling. Acai berries have been said to help with appetite suppression, which helps with the loss of excess weight, and also strengthen the immune system. The only truth that I could agree within this statement is that the fact that it builds the immune system. There are many myths that exist with Acai Berries and weight loss that people are just not aware of and are getting scammed in the process of it.…

    Introduction Decorative tattoos have become more popular throughout the decades. When someone receives a tattoo the ink is injected into either the dermis or epidermis with a needle. Through various case studies with over 30 years of receiving the tattoo, patients contracted lymphadenopathy, a disease affecting the lymph nodes [1]. Lymph nodes are found all throughout the body including: armpits, epicondyles, pelvis, and neck. Depending on the trauma the tattoo has gone through or the color ink the patient used in their tattoo, patients acquired symptoms resembling melanoma within their lymph nodes.…

    Beer’s law indicates that the relationship between absorbance and concentration is linear; the absorbance can be found on the vertical axis, and the corresponding intercept on the plotted line determines the concentration. The peak absorbance (λmax) , as measured by the Ocean Optics Spectroscopy, and the known concentration values for each of the four solutions created were plotted for each food dye. Once the dyes were identified and the concentrations of each dye determined, a sample solution was created using the same concentration. The concentration of Blue 1 was determined to be 2.014 x 10-6 mol/L.…

    Separation of plasma proteins by molecular exclusion chromatography Sebastian Prisacariu 140013826 Introduction The components of blood is broken down into 3 parts. This breakdown is consisted of: Plasma which is a yellowish fluid that helps transport blood cells around the body and contains a small supply off proteins, platelets which are blood clotting agent, red blood cells which is a carry for oxygen and remover off carbon dioxide and white cells which is the bodies defence from infection. The plasma makes up about 55% of the overall volume of blood and is mainly made up of water which contains important proteins like albumin which maintains fluid balance (Nall, 2013) and globulin which serves as antibodies and helps with transport (Clinn,…
