common mass spectrometry–based proteomic methodologies used to day is the bottom up protein identification. First, the protein has to be digested into peptides using a protease. Then, the peptide will be submitted to the URMC Proteomics Resource and Laboratory for analysis using LC-MS/MS tandem mass spectrometry. In this approach, the peptides will be separated and introduced into a mass spectrometer using reversed phase liquid chromatography (RC-LC). This spectrometer will measure the mass and…

Procedures in clinical laboratories involve working with biological samples that may contain viruses such as HIV and/or Hepatitis B and other medically important bacteria. Therefore, it is important that the laboratory workers protect themselves by using the correct personnel protective equipment (PPE) and by so doing protect the members of the public. In the microbiology laboratory, sterile techniques must always be used to prevent cross contamination of specimens but also to prevent…

My favorite non human primate is the chimpanzee. This is my favorite primate because it is the most similar to human beings, sharing up to ninety-eight point eight percent of our genetic make up. Chimpanzees tend to live in African rain forests, woodlands, and grasslands. Even though they usually walk on all fours, they can stand upright and walk and their two back legs just as human beings do. Chimpanzees and humans fall into the same kingdom (Animalia), phylum (Chordata), class (Mammalia),…

Smart processors have reduced the need to change chemicals frequently. Federal law requires laboratories to keep records for several years.All documentation needs to be entered in the patient’s electronic medical record.Any missing information, such as; diagnosis codes needs to be obtained through the ordering physician, so insurance companies can…

Animals should not be used in laboratories for the testing of drugs of cosmetics. Sharon Jang 10GC Did you know that 95% of animals used in experiments are not protected by the federal Animal Welfare Act? Being injected with unknown drug injections and, being locked inside barren cage with endless loneliness, are hopeless situation for animals in laboratories. Even right now at this moment, animals are used in laboratories for our benefits. Animal testing means that using animals to test…

Biological samples are sent to the laboratories with the intention of developing DNA profile. It is important for the high quality development that the analyst first determines the quantity of DNA present in a sample. If there is too much DNA present, this can cause off-scale data in the final detection in a sample. Off-scale data can be littered with artifacts and extra peak that increase the difficulty in interpreting the resulting profiles. As a result, most laboratories do not allow…

Medical Pathology is my number one career choice. I have always known from a young age that this is the career I want to pursue. Military personnel defend and protect the weak. Archaeologist collect and study remains to better understand historic life. And professional figure skaters dedicated themselves to stringent study and practice to master the skills of their profession. As a medical pathologist, I plan to incorporate all three. I want to master the skills of being a medical pathologist,…

The requirement to be a veterinarian is to earn a Doctoral or professional degree. Opportunities for experienced veterinarians are for research (private laboratory research), education (teachers at universities), public health and regulatory medicine. Related jobs are animal care and service worker, medical scientist, veterinary assistant, laboratory caretakers and zoologists. The methods of entry into this field are at least 2-year degree (usually an Associate’s degree) from a Veterinary…

FBI Laboratory’s CODIS began as a pilot software project in 1990, serving 14 state and local laboratories. The DNA Identification Act of 1994 formalized the FBI’s authority to establish a National DNA Index System (NDIS) for law enforcement purposes. Today, over 190 public law enforcement laboratories participate in NDIS across the United States. Internationally, more than 90 law enforcement laboratories in over 50 countries use the CODIS software for their own database initiatives” (fbi.gov).…
