Question

1. A bacterial culture was grown for 12 hours. At 4-hour interval, the culture was
sampled to determine the population of the culture, by transferring 25 mlof the
suspension to 225 ml 0.90% NaCI. Three consecutive dilutions were further made by
using 1 mlaliquot in 9 mlof 0.90% NaCl. One ml from each dilution was plated in
each of duplicate plates. The following table shows the results of the plating
method.

Researchers used gas chromatography to determine the % v/v methyl salicylate in rubbing alcohol [Van Atta, R. E.; Van Atta, R. L. J. Chem. Educ. 1980, 57, 230-231]. A set of standard additions was prepared by transferring 20.00 mL of rubbing alcohol to separate 25 - mL volumetric flasks and pipeting 0.00 mL, 0.20 mL, and 0.50 mL of methyl salicylate to the flasks. All three flasks were diluted to volume using isopropanol. Analysis of the three samples gave peak heights for methyl salicylate of 57.00 mm, 88.5 mm, and 132.5 mm, respectively. Determine the % v/v methyl salicylate in the rubbing alcohol.
A phlebotomist was acting as an instructor for a phlebotomy student from the local college and was anxious to help her learn all the special tests that had not been practiced in class. When a stat blood culture and electrolytes were ordered on a patient in the ICU, the instructor quickly grabbed the student and they headed for the floor. It was clear after looking at the patient that they would have to use a butterfly in a hand vein to collect the test specimen. The instructor was busy helping the student prepare the site and did not pay attention to the order the student layout all of the equipment/tubes/bottles for the draw. The student elated that she was able to access the difficult vein and that blood was flowing freely to the anaerobic bottles. After filling both it and the aerobic bottle to the proper level, she proceeded to draw a sst tube for the electrolytes. The blood flow was now very slow, with blood entering the tube one drop at a time. After patiently waiting for the…

In order to improve the peptide separation by using a HPLC system, trifluoroacetic acid acts as mobile-phase modifier was added during the preparation of mobile phase. The preparation was performed by a postgraduate student as following:“2.851 g trifluoroacetic acid (MW: 114.02 g/mol) was made up to 500 cm3 in a graduated flask. To this solution, 50 cm3 of ethanol was added, and after mixing the mobile phase was placed in the solvent reservoir and pumping was commenced at 1.5 cm3 min-1.”Based on the given preparation procedure, identify THREE mistakes that were made.
The concentration of purified OXA-M290 is tested with a BCA assay. Serial dilutions of a bovine serum albumin (BSA) stock solution are prepared, then pipetted into a 96-well plate; each dilution of the BSA standard is tested in triplicate. Then, bicinchoninic acid and Cu2+ ions are added to all of the wells of the plate. After incubating the plate for 1 hour, a microplate reader is used to measure the absorbance of all of the wells in the plate at 560 nm. This generates the following data: BSA conc.
