- You left a carton of orange juice on your counter for 3 days. When you taste it, it is very bubbly (as though it was carbonated), and it tastes more bitter than usual. (Note: acids taste bitter). What do you think could have happened? (Note: you can’t just say that bacteria grew—you must explain how the growth of the bacteria resulted in the changes in the orange juice.)

The volume above the top arrow indicates the volume that should be transferred to the next tube (i.e. Tube 1). The volume listed at the bottom-right of tube 1 indicates the volume of diluent that should be added to that tube. The stock concentration is 50μg/ml and you want to make a solution in tube 1 with a concentration of 0.4μg/ml and a total volume of 3ml. Stock ?ml Tube 1 ?ml a. How many milliliters of stock solution needs to be added to Tube 1? Round your answer to three decimal places (e.g. 0.111). b. How many milliliters of diluent needs to be added to Tube 1?

- Choose the one answer that fits best. Which of the following statements regarding the proper procedure for using Micropipettes is NOT correct? O a. You cannot use a 2-20 µl micropipette to pipet 200 µl O b. To expel all the liquid from the tip, you have to press the eject button O c. To draw up solution, press and hold the plunger at the first stop before entering the solution O d. Micropipettes always require the use of a disposable plastic tip O e. While pipetting, micropipettes should always be held as straight as possible6) 1 mL of supernatant is required for a procedure. The final colored solution proves to be too high to read accurately on the spectrophotometer. 100 μL of supernatant and 900 μL of distilled water are substituted for the original supernatant and the procedure, run as before. The reading from the standard curve is 46 mg/dL. What is the actual amount of substance in the patient serum?A nurse reconstituted a vial of 750 mg Cefuroxime Sodium Powder for Injection with 6mL of sterile water for injection. The reconstituted solution was dark amber-colored solution. The package insert states that solution colors range from clear to yellow depending on concentration, diluent, and storage conditions. The nurse was then hesitant to give the patient the solution due to its unusual dark color. Five portions were taken from a batch of cefuroxime sodium. Prior to testing in the instrument, each part was subjected to one of the following conditions: Conditions Specifications Temperature Portion 1: 8°C ± 2°C Portion 2: 30°C ± 2°C Portion 3: 40°C ± 2°C Light Portion 4: Kept in the dark Portion 5: Exposed to direct sunlight 1. Which form of the product – the powder for injection, the reconstituted product, or both – will you subject to the following conditions? Why do you think these forms can best address the problem?

- Order: streptomycin 500 mg IM daily for 8 days. If you have vials of this antibiotic that are labeled as 1 g/2.5 mL, how many milliliters would you administer?A patient is to receive Tazidine by intramuscular injection. A 10.0-mL vial contains 1 gram of dry powder that was reconstituted with 3 mL of sterile water. The reconstituted solution contains 340 milligrams Tazidine in 1.00 mL of volume. How much solution should be injected if a patient needs to receive a 0.30 gram dose? Enter the numerical part of the answer in the first box (using correct significant figures) and the correct unit in the second box.Paraphrase the text below: Series of test tubes were filled with the desired volume of the BSA (0.1, 0.2, 0.3… 1 ml) .PBS was added to this to make the volume of 1 mL. 5 mL of copper reagent was added to all the tubes. After proper mixing, all the tubes were incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes. 1 mL Folin reagent was added to each and mixed properly with the help of vortex mixer and incubated for 20 minutes. The intensity of the colour was then determined spectrophotometrically at 680 nm. The graph was than plotted between optical density and the amount of BSA. Proteins estimation was done for the detection for the amount of proteins present in the sample solutions by the Lowry method
