Distillation Introduction: The recrystallization technique you learned last lab is a method for purifying solids. This week we will learn how to perform a distillation‚ a method for purifying liquids. Distillation is a common wet-chemical technique for separating organic compounds based on differences in boiling points. Upon heating a mixture of organic compounds‚ the more volatile compounds (those with the lowest boiling point) will vaporize first (i.e. be converted to gases)‚ leaving the higher-boiling

Introduction When extracting lipids or fats from foods‚ both the method as well as the solvents chosen to perform a complete‚ or close to complete extraction are important. If these two elements are not taken into consideration‚ the extraction may not be complete‚ or the extract may contain a large quantity of undesired impurities. The natural fats and oil are mixtures of glycerides of fatty acids. Fats and oils are naturally occurring organic compounds which belong to a large group of water insoluble

Butil‚ Conrad G. Leonida‚ Renee Theresa ABSTRACT This activity observes the DNA present in onion (Allium cepa) and human cheek cells by extracting it with the addition of lysis buffer and chilled ethanol. The lysis buffer is prepared from squeezed onion mixed

November 5‚ 2014 Bioinformatics Leigh Ann Santana DNA Extraction Lab DNA extraction is an important process because the DNA first needs to be purified away from proteins and other cellular contaminants. Cell are needed‚ because that is where the DNA is located. Inside almost every cell in our bodies is a nucleus‚ and inside each nucleus is about two meters of DNA. The following steps are needed to purify DNA from a cheek swab. Collect cheek cells‚ Burst cells open to release DNA‚ separate DNA

INTRODUCTION Atrium inside a building is an old architectural concept for about two thousand years. This concept has been developed and extended to modern buildings. Current trend of atrium design provides an ‘ideal’ external environment to the occupants with a large undivided space. The major problem for fires in atrium is hot and toxic gases accumulating and go down in the atrium

DNA EXTRACTION In extracting chromatin from the cells of wheat germ there are seven steps to follow. The optimal cell to use would be the polyploidal eukaryotic. Eukaryotes have nucleus membrane-bound organelles‚ while prokaryotic does not. The polyploidal eukaryotic cell has DNA that is held in the nucleus while the prokaryote has DNA that floats freely around the cell. The DNA of eukaryotes is more complex and extensive than the other. Prokaryote is a bacterial cell that

EXTRACTION OF METALS SUMMARY Most metals exist in compounds in rocks in the Earth’s crust. Many of these ores contain oxides or sulphides of the metals. The compounds need to be reduced to produce the metals as elements. Metals are very useful to us because of their special properties. Reduction means removal of oxygen or gain of electrons. Carbon is a good chemical reducing agent because it readily combines with oxygen‚ but it is only useful for the metals below it in the Reactivity
