Sephhacryl Lab Report

Decent Essays
In this lab, Sephacryl was used as a type of support. LDH Sephacryl 300 HR has the range of 10,000 to 1,500,000 fractional range (Da). 100 microliter of Blue dextrin was used as elution of a compound. The protein of interest was LDH. Total volume of sample assayed was 0.5 ml.
Path length of macromolecule is important because as the size of molecules becomes larger, path length becomes shorter. For instance, DNP-amino acid has long path length, protein of interest has medium path length, and blue dextrin has short path length.
To determine molecular mass, spectrometry is used to monitor elution and is used to calculate Kd using (Ve-V0)/(Vt-V0), where Ve=elution volume for protein of interest, V0= void volume for Blue dextrin, and vt=total

    This lab makes use of the reaction excess powdered calcium carbonate and different concentrations limiting hydrochloric acid in order to determine the effect of changing concentration on the rate of the reaction. Students will carry out 3 trials of 5 experiments each trial. The five different experiments are for the various concentrations of hydrochloric acid (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 mol/L). First measure out approximately 2 grams of powdered calcium carbonate using a weighing boat and analytical balance. Then, measure out 30 mL of 0.2 M hydrochloric acid into a volumetric flask.…

    The goal of the lab was to identify an unlabeled compound found in the chemistry stockroom to be able to dispose of it properly. This lab demonstrated the process of identifying an unknown compound as well as synthesizing the compound. Identifying the compound consisted of performing various tests to detect the chemical and physical properties of the compound and comparing it to the list of possible compounds. The tests conducted were the solubility test which the compound fully dissolved in water, the flame test which had no discoloration when held in the flame, cation and anion tests which showed the existence of some halides like Cl, Br, and I, pH test in which the compound had a pH of 6, and the conductivity test which had an average value…

    By adding Hydrochloric acid into solid Magnesium, in Data table #2, when Hydrochloric acid was first been added to solid Magnesium, the ribbon immediately start to bubble and producing fumes at the same time with a burning sound. Magnesium start to turn into a white liquid form. After the bubble start to disappear, more Hydrochloric acid was added, and the reactions repeats. Until none of the shiny silver Magnesium ribbon can be seen, and there is no more bubble, the reaction is over.…

    The study of microbiology requires not only understanding the microscopic organisms, but also the understanding of lab techniques and procedures used to identify, control, and manipulate microorganisms. The identification of microorganisms is not only important in microbiology lab, but also in the medical field to identify an agent of a disease that will help treat the patient by using the correct antibiotics to kill off the host. In this unknown lab report, techniques and procedures learned in the microbiology laboratory during the semester that was performed to test ones practical understanding of microbiology. The sole purpose of the unknown lab is to demonstrate understanding of the experimental methods and lab techniques learned during…

    An unknown sample #18 was obtained on November 6, 2017. The sample came in a glass test tube with a cotton swab that contain the unknown sample. To find the identity of the unknown sample, we had to conduct several biochemical tests to eliminate and narrow down possible organisms that fit the biochemical description to accurately identify our unknown organism of interest. These biochemical tests provided insight on the physical color retention of our unknown sample, and through’s the unknown organism’s ability to break down tested compounds to determine if it had the corresponding enzyme that would allow it to do so. The testing of unknown organisms to accurately discover its identity is crucial in the field of health science.…

    Hypothesis My hypothesis is if the pills are put in stomach acid, then the gelcaps will dissolve the fastest, because gelcaps are just gelatin capsule that hold the liquid inside. So when the liquid is released it will be absorbed faster than the other pills. I base my hypothesis on Gel Caps or Coated? Pick the Right Pill, page 2 that says, “Soft, flexible gelatin capsules hold liquid-which may be absorbed more quickly than regular pills”.…

    General Unknowns Bacterium Vitality en Vida Bacteria play a vital role in our daily lives. It is therefore our right to know the importance of being able to distinguish certain strains of bacteria. With the right knowledge we would be able to come up with a cure for a disease. An identity gives way to knowledge, to better understanding and access to information on how an organism works and how we can prevent its worsening effects or isolate its benefits. Scientists have been trying to discover and study different strands each and every day to keep up with the future’s demands for medicine and cure mainly because we are all susceptible to diseases.…

    The lab instructor issued out a test tube labeled with letter ‘I’, which consisted of two unknown bacteria, Gram-positive or Gram-negative that were streaked from a pure culture. Sterile techniques were followed while performing precise instructions as stated in the referenced Laboratory Manual. Example 1: The first procedure performed was done by isolating a pure culture from the mixture onto a solid Trypticase soy agar (TSA) media. Sterile technique was done by flaming the loop until it turned red to ensure that there were no current bacteria on the loop avoiding contamination followed by rapidly flaming the neck of the test tube to prevent the entry and contamination of unwanted microbes.…

    Paracetamol is one of the world’s most beneficial and resourceful analgesic and is widely used in present day. An analgesic, can be defined, as a chemical compound that relieves pain, reduces fever and inflammation. It works by hindering the enzyme cyclooxygenase which acts a catalyst to convert fatty acids to prostaglandins. Prostaglandins cause pain and inflammation to peripheral and central points in the nervous system2. Paracetamol, or Acetaminophen is created by the synthesis and preparation of an amide.…

    Specific activity is useful to know for a protein as it is a good indicator of an enzyme 's purity and quality. The Bradford assay measures total protein in the assay, and was calculated as 4.2mg/mL. The result was calculated from a set of four concentrations, of which there was a standard deviation of 1.3mg/mL and a standard error of 0.66mg/mL. These are relatively large values, perhaps indicating that there was error during the dilution of 1S. As the big increase in undiluted concentration is between 1S2 and 1S4, this indicates error in the dilution of 1S4 from 1S2.…
