For pool owners, there is nothing more exhausting than cleaning the pool itself. Perhaps the common denominator as to why people want to own a pool is that they want to relax and enjoy it with their family and friends. That is the reason why most pool owners prefer to buy robotic pool cleaners. Having fun in the water is only the peak of an iceberg of having a pool. The rest of the iceberg lies on pool maintenance. It would probably take more time cleaning the entire pool than the actual leisure
reaction response, limit of detection, pH optimization, reproducibility and regeneration. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will be measured by taking gas sample and transporting it to laboratory instruments. So, the instrument that will be use is fluorescence spectrophotometer. 1.2 Pollution of Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Environment There is a growing public concern over industrial impact on the environment. Monitoring environmental quality in a broad sense includes global
1. Why is gel purification important? What is it used for? Gel-purification is a procedure that yields DNA freed from impurities such as salts, free nucleotides and enzymes, suitable for downstream applications Gel purification is used to recover desired DNA fragments from agarose gels after electrophoretic separation. Also to turn the pure DNA into a plasmid vector 2. What buffer is the DNA suspended in, after pillow purification? Tris Acetate (TAE) buffer 3. How is TOPO cloning different from
Have you ever noticed the term "Fluorescence" in a GIA Diamond Assessment Report? Did you know that some diamonds show effects under ultraviolet light? For most people who buy diamonds, fluorescence will not be a problem, but some may be mistaken for the term. Below you will find frequently asked questions and useful answers from GIA researchers who have studied deep fluorescence. What is diamond fluorescence? The fluorescence of diamond, in its simplest form, is the effect that ultraviolet (UV)
contents of the stored microtubes from the previous week exhibited fluorescence prior to any further procedural steps. At the beginning of class, the microtubes were centrifuged for 10 minutes and the resulting supernatant was collected and the bacterial pellet was discarded, at this time the microtube exhibited fluorescence. Next, 250 µl of the binding buffer and supernatant mixture was added to the column and exhibited fluorescence under UV light, while the collection tube, FT, did not. After the
The Uncertainty principle In 1927, Werner Heisenberg was working at Bohr’s research institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. Neil Bohr and Heisenberg were working closely together on theoretical investigations of quantum theory and nature of physics. Heisenberg was left back at the centre alone when Bohr was away skiing. At this point, Heisenberg realized the limits of physics and physical reality. He realized that it in the act of observing, the observer somehow, manages to alter the reality. This observation
The final product, luminol, produced light therefore this signifies that the reaction worked. It produced a neon blue, green color that showed that the reaction was fluorescence instead of being phosphorescence which produces a red color. The reaction lasted milliseconds which suggests that the reaction was again fluorescent because phosphorescent light lasts seconds before the light distinguishes because it stores absorbed energy for a longer time and is not spin paired. With this, more energy is
Alternate Hypothesis: The use of GFP is effective to measure pH level of drinks through fluorescence intensity of E. coli exposed under UV light. Bacteria in each drink will fluorescence as much as in the broth with similar pH level. (e.g. fluorescence intensity in tap water is expected to equate that of the broth with a pH level of 7). Null Hypothesis: pH level cannot be investigated through GFP fluorescence intensity. 3 Method 3.1 Development and planning When designing the procedure of the
The Expression and Purification of Recombinant Green Fluorescence Protein (rGFP) from E. coli using Ni+2 -Agarose Affinity Chromatography Abstract The purpose of this series of experiment was to express and purify His6tagged recombinant Green Fluorescent Protein (rGFP) in E. coli strain using Ni+2Agarose Affinity chromatography column. The strain BL21(DE3) < pRSETA-GFPUV> was induced and expressed as an N-terminal His6/Xpress epitope tagged fusion protein, the rGFP crude extract was then purified
AIM The aim of the experiment was to learn how to properly use light microscope and investigate the unicellular organism. INTRODUCTION In biological sciences there are many methods to investigate certain elements and structures but on the top of the list if microscope. Vast majority of organisms on the planet and on the body are too small to be seen from a naked eye, the cells and the organelles can only be seen under the eye of light microscope. In this experiment the method to use light microscope
amino groups [22-24]. The reaction of NBD-Cl with LBT has not been investigated yet. LBT contain secondary amino group which can react with NBD-Cl in alkaline medium to form a yellowish green colored product. This derivative exhibited maximum fluorescence intensity at 540 nm after excitation at 476 nm (Figure 2), the maximum absorbance of the reaction product was measured at 480 nm (Figure 3). 3.1.

the dianionic and anionic forms of fluorescein in aqueous solution. The effects were shown from the absorption and fluorescence spectra of each sample. The absorption and fluorescence spectra showed that the dianion species has the higher absorptivity and fluorescence than the anion species. Fluorescein solutions that contains more dianion species generated absorption and fluorescence spectra with higher peaks. The absorption spectra of all samples showed the highest peak at wavelength of around 488nm
measurement of emission wavelength and quenching study of Bi2S3 NSs were conducted at room temperature. The emission spectra of Bi2S3 NSs have been measured in the absence and presence of Cys. Fluorescence of the mixture was recorded in a quartz cuvette at a fixed excitation wavelength of 350 nm and fluorescence emission wavelength of Bi2S3 NSs was measured. Excitation and emission slits were set as 1.0 and 5.0 nm band-pass. The quenching experiments may give further information about the binding ability
After Alamar Blue dye is added, the plate is incubated for 4 hours and then is observed under a spectrophotometer. The spectrophotometer can measure fluorescence of the dye at 570 nm, which is the wavelength of the fluorescence of Alamar Blue dye. The spectrophotometer will return values for each well that correlates with the measured absorbance. These absorbance values can be converted to survivability percentage and can be graphed with a GraphPad program as shown in Graph 1A and 1B. The software

Introduction Varicocele is characterized by an abnormal dilation of the testicular veins in the pampiniform plexus. The inci-dence of varicocele in the general adult population is about 15–20%, and it can be considered a major cause of male infertility. It may occur by a number of different mechanisms, and is thus considered to be a multifactorial disease [1]. The exact mechanism of impaired testicular function in patients with varicocele has not yet been determined. Elevated testicular and scrotal
Introduction: High Performance Liquid Chromatography or also known as High Performance Liquid Chromatography is one of the most powerful and most commonly used analytical separation technique. HPLC is a form of liquid chromatography that separated solutes/compounds dissolved in the solution (High-performance liquid chromatography, 2012). It is an improved form of column chromatography, where the solvent is passed through under high pressure instead of letting it drip down due to gravity. The sample
conducted by Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS) were obtained on the spectrophotometer of Shimadzu UV-3600 equipped with an integrating sphere accessory (BaSO4 was used as a reference). Fluorescence spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu RF-5301PC spectrofluorometer. The FT-IR spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu spectrophotometer. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was made with an X’pert Pro diffractometer. Zeta potential measurements
Introduction The practicum has been developed in RIKEN Centre of Developmental Biology in Kobe, in the laboratory of Axial Pattern Dynamics under the supervision of Inomata-sensei and Matsukawa-san. In the laboratory they try to artificially regulate the gradient shape, they can control morphogen-dependent pattern formation. In general, the shape of a gradient is defined by three factors; synthesis, diffusion, and degradation of morphogen. So, they attempt to spatiotemporally regulate the gradient
