Good pipetting technique helps scientists achieve more reliable results from their experiments. Nothing is more frustrating than having to repeat an experiment because poor pipetting technique offset the accuracy of aspirated volumes by 10-50%. Good pipetting technique may also help avoid embarrassing retractions of manuscripts from journals after peers fail to replicate an experiment. Proper pipette technique not only improves experimental outcomes, but it also helps protect the scientist from injury resulting from poor micropipette technique. As proper pipetting technique encompasses the use of ergonomic pipettes, this can also translate to a long-lasting investment for your laboratory. By choosing CAPP’s range of ergonomic pipettes labs have the benefit of long-lasting and robust tools that can be used for a very long time. When coupled with the use of CAPP’s premium filter tips and pipette cone filters that protect pipette shafts from potentially harmful splashes, good pipette technique will save on the cost of equipment replacement.

warning another animal to back off
Nitric oxide supplements are a category of supplements that includes L-citrulline and L-arginine. Researchers have performed multiple clinical trials related to nitric oxide supplements and their effectiveness, often with mixed results.
Mitochondrial biogenesis is the process by which cells increase mitochondrial numbers. It was first described by John Holloszy in the 1960s, when it was discovered that physical endurance training induced higher mitochondrial content levels, leading to greater glucose uptake by muscles. Mitochondrial biogenesis is activated by numerous different signals during times of cellular stress or in response to environmental stimuli, such as aerobic exercise.
Melatonin is a hormone made in the body. It regulates night and day cycles or sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin in supplements is usually made in a lab.
Darkness triggers the body to make more melatonin, which signals the body to sleep. Light decreases melatonin production and signals the body to be awake. Some people who have trouble sleeping have low levels of melatonin. It's thought that adding melatonin from supplements might help them sleep.
Ion channels have many features of typical membrane proteins. They are synthesized and inserted into the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, glycosylated in the Golgi, and transported and inserted into target membranes by membrane fusion. They are regulated by trafficking, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, reversible interactions with other signaling proteins and second messengers, proteolytic cleavage, and other modifications. Like other signaling proteins, ion channels are flexible molecules that undergo conformational changes between open (active) and closed (inactive) states. They evolve and increase in number through phylogeny and can be placed in gene families and super families according to their sequence similarities.
Glucose transporters are a wide group of membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of glucose across the plasma membrane, a process known as facilitated diffusion. Because glucose is a vital source of energy for all life, these transporters are present in all phyla.
"A biological database is a large, organized body of persistent data, usually associated with computerized software designed to update, query, and retrieve components of the data stored within the system. A simple database might be a single file containing many records, each of which includes the same set of information."
The attractive force which holds various constituents (atom, ions, etc.) together and stabilizes them by the overall loss of energy is known as chemical bonding. Therefore, it can be understood that chemical compounds are reliant on the strength of the chemical bonds between its constituents; The stronger the bonding between the constituents, the more stable the resulting compound would be.

organic compound, any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. The few carbon-containing compounds not classified as organic include carbides, carbonates, and cyanides. See chemical compound.
Biogas is produced after organic materials (plant and animal products) are broken down by bacteria in an oxygen-free environment, a process called anaerobic digestion. Biogas systems use anaerobic digestion to recycle these organic materials, turning them into biogas, which contains both energy (gas), and valuable soil products (liquids and solids).
mass spectrometry, also called mass spectroscopy, analytic technique by which chemical substances are identified by the sorting of gaseous ions in electric and magnetic fields according to their mass-to-charge ratios.
Risk assessment for computer system validationBangaluru
A risk assessment is a process to identify potential hazards and analyze what could happen if a hazard occurs.
Computer system validation (sometimes called computer validation or CSV) is the process of documenting that a computer system meets a set of defined system requirements.
Recovery and purification of intracellular and extra cellular productsBangaluru
Product recovery and purification, such as centrifugal, chromatography, crystallization, dialysis, drying, electrophoresis, filtration, precipitation, etc., are essential finishing steps to any commercial fermentation process.
Iron is a mineral that the body needs for growth and development. Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body, and myoglobin, a protein that provides oxygen to muscles. Your body also needs iron to make some hormones.
Good Documentation Practice (GDocP — or GRK for Good Recordkeeping) is an essential component of your overall pharmaceutical quality system (PQS) and quality risk management strategies (QRM).

4. Types of chemicals
Acids :
• Any hydrogen-containing substance that is capable of donating
a proton (hydrogen ion)
• Eg: Sulphuric acid, Nitric acid
Bases :
• A base is a molecule or ion able to accept a hydrogen ion from
an acid.
• Eg: Sodium hydroxide(NaoH), Ammonia(NH3)
5. Types of chemicals
Flammables :
• Capable of being easily ignited. These will ignite easily at
ambient temperatures
• Eg: IPA, MeOH, Ethanol
• Highly flammable : Chemicals with FP < 23 °c
• Extremely flammable : Chemicals with FP <0°c
Combustible :
• Something that combust in air. Its requires some effort for
material to ignite.
• Eg: Diesel, petrol, kerosene.
6. Oxidisers :
• Oxidizers are solids, liquids, or gases that react readily with
most organic material or reducing agents with no energy input.
These will increase the flammable range for chemicals.
• Oxidizers cause or contribute to the combustion of other
materials by providing oxygen to support the combustion
process.
Types of chemicals
7. Pyrophoric chemicals :
• These are the chemicals will ignite spontaneously in air at temperature
of 55°c
• Eg: Metallic elements(Na, K)
Corrosive chemicals : A material capable of damaging or
destroying other substances.
• Eg: Acids, Bases, Oxidisers
• This type of chemical is usually an irritant. corrosives can damage your body
by burning, scalding or inflaming body tissues.

12. Ways Chemicals Enter the Body
There Are Three Routes of Entry:
• Ingestion – swallowing the
chemical
• Inhalation – breathing in
the chemical
• Absorption – the chemical
soaks through the skin
13. Absorption
• Some chemicals can pass
through the skin and be
taken into the body’s
systems.
• Solvents and pesticides are
examples of compounds that
can be absorbed through the
skin.
How chemicals enter into body

15. Chemicals are all around us - in the food we
eat, the clothes we wear, in the products we
use everyday. Chemicals can help us live better
lives, but if we don't understand about the
chemicals we use, they can harm us.
. It's important to be informed and aware of
chemicals and chemical safety. The first and
most important step is to stop and read the
label!!!
Safe Chemical Handling
16. •Check labels prior to use for hazard warnings
•Treat unlabeled containers as dangerous
•Do not remove labels
•Look for NFPA labels:
–Blue is toxic
–Red is flammable
–Yellow is reactive
–Numbers 3 and 4 are
very hazardous

26. Basic Tips for Safe Handling Chemicals
1. Read the label.
It will tell you what you need to know about your chemical. If you find you
need more information, ask your supervisor for a copy of the material safety
data sheet. The MSDS gives more technical information about the chemical
than the label
2. Dress the part.
Wear the proper safety protection, clothing and PPE as required.
3. Follow directions.
If the label says, use only with adequate ventilation make sure you do so.
Never mix chemicals unless you've been trained and authorized by your company.
4. Know emergency procedures.
Be familiar with first aid procedures, and be sure to know where the
emergency eye wash showers are located; also know where emergency phone
numbers are posted.
5. Be careful!
Don't work alone, make sure there is someone there to help you if
necessary.
Don't try to hurry or take shortcuts, you just can't rush safety!
27. Basic Tips for Safe Handling Chemicals
6. Report any suspected problems.
If you notice any malfunctioning equipment or any electrical equipment
that is in need of repair, report it to your supervisor immediately. Also
report any suspected problems with your chemicals, if the chemical odor
has hanged or is unusual, don't use that chemical. It may have changed
with time. Report anything unusual to your supervisor.
7.Keep your work area neat, clean and organized.
You'll know where everything is, and you'll be able to work
more efficiently.
8. Store everything properly.
Make sure to close containers tightly. Keep flammables in a
safe area, and use only the smallest amount necessary for
the job. Store compressed gas in leak- free containers.
