Chromatography is a key aspect in chemistry. It allows one to separate molecules based on a variety of things. In labs 3 and 4 we looked at two of the characteristics that molecules carry that can help separate them. Lab 3 used spectrophotometry once again, but the concept that garnered the most interest was ion exchange chromatography. Ion exchange chromatography works by separating molecules based on the individual charges they carry. In our case we used anion exchange chromatography, which…

Amnion Tissue In this project, I also with amnion tissue collection, ChIP preparation and Real-time PCR technique. The aim of this work was to determine the gene activating H3K4me3 and gene repressing H3K27me3 levels and their ratios at the promoter regions of NAMPT inflammatory gene. Collection of Tissue Fetal membranes were collected from women undergoing elective cesarean section at absence of labour [not in labour (NIL), n = 5], during active labour [in labour (IL), n = 4] and preterm (n=5)…

2. Experimental 2.1. Materials and reagents Analytical grade bentazon was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, chloroform and acetic acid were purchased from Merck and were analytical or HPLC grade. Methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as the cross-linker and α,α′-Azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) were purchased from Merck (Hohenbrunn, Germany). MAA was distilled under vacuum to remove the inhibitor prior to polymerization.…

Tara Ghaemi 9/16/16 Chao Li 232 Recrystallization of Acetanilide Introduction In this experiment, acetanilide will be purified to remove its two impurities by utilizing dissolution, hot vacuum filtration, and recrystallization. Hot vacuum filtration is performed to separate the crystal from the solution that it is present in. Hot vacuum filtration works best for this experiment because it prevents the premature crystallization of the solute, and thus lets the extracted crystal be extremely…

The materials used in this project were general protective personal equipment such as lab coat, gloves and googles, 125 milliliter Erlenmeyer flask, 50 milliliter burette, 50 milliliter beaker, graduated cylinder, scale, vitamin c, phenolphthalein, methyl orange, deionized water and the following chemicals: sodium hydroxide, potassium hydrogen phthalate, hydrochloric acid and sodium bicarbonate. When it comes to these chemicals, make sure to wear the general protective personal equipment and…

Benzimidazole and its derivatives were synthesized according to the reported literature (Wagner EC et al., 1943). The compounds are benzimidazole ;1-(4-((1H-benzimidazol-1-yl) methylamino) phenyl) ethanone; 2-butyl-1H-benzimidazole; 2-methyl-1H-benzimidazole. The stock solutions are prepared by dissolving the compound in DMSO. Antimicrobial activity was tested by the disc-diffusion method under standard conditions using Mueller-Hinton Agar (MHA) and the antibiotics used as listed below, Table…

We are testing different watt light bulbs and how it affects how fast the chads rise. We are using 300, 200, 100 and 60 watt lights bulbs. We are timing how long it takes for the chads to rise with each different light. Photosynthesis is a chemical process through which plants, some bacteria and algae, produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using only light as a source of energy. Photosynthesis converts massive amount of Sunlight into electrical and then chemical energy. The…

Lead concentrations can be measured in various body tissues or by measuring the biomarkers of the toxic effects of lead. The concentration of lead in the body has been measured in blood, bone, nails, hair, teeth, urine, faces and saliva for screening and diagnostic purposes. In all samples, specimen collection, storage and processing must be meticulously performed to avoid contamination of the samples with lead in the surrounding environment. Teeth, nail and bone reflect long term exposure to…

In this study I observed two bananas over a 4 day period making observations each day at 3:00 pm. My first observation I used as a baseline to guide my observations. I put one banana in the fridge and the other on my desk. The temperature of each area remained constant over this period of time. I measured the color, the firmness, and the amount of brown spots on each banana. To describe firmness, I used a chart that I created that measures firm to mushy. The scale went from one to five where one…
