- The most common application is to stain muscle fibres red and collagen fibres green or blue, Masson's trichrome being the most commonly used method. This is necessary since smooth muscle fibres may be difficult to differentiate from collagen.

- simple staining. in the first exercise. In a simple stain a basic dye is added to a population of bacteria that has been fixed to the surface of a microscope slide such that all cells in the population take on the color of the dye used. In the second set of exercises you will be performing a. Gram stain.

Gram Staining 1 Add the primary stain (crystal violet) to the sample/slide and incubate for 1 minute. Rinse slide with a gentle stream of water for a maximum of 5 seconds to remove unbound crystal violet.  Add Gram's iodine for 1 minute- this is a mordant, or an agent that fixes the crystal violet to the bacterial cell wall.

Capsule Staining- Principle, Reagents, Procedure and Result 4.3/5  (253) Capsule Staining- Principle, Reagents, Procedure and Result. The main purpose of capsule stain is to distinguish capsular material from the bacterial cell. A capsule is a gelatinous outer layer secreted by bacterial cell and that surrounds and adheres to the cell wall. Most capsules are composed of polysaccharides, but some are composed of polypeptides.

5 Common Dyes for DNA Staining and Visualizing DNA Ethidium bromide is likely the most well-known dye used for visualizing DNA. This dye can be used in the gel mixture, in the electrophoresis buffer or to stain the gel after it is run. Molecules of the dye adhere to DNA strands and fluoresce under UV light, showing where the bands are within the gel. Ethidium bromide is a potential carcinogen, so it must be handled with care.

Differential staining Differential Staining is a staining process which uses more than one chemical stain. Using multiple stains can better differentiate between different microorganisms or structures/cellular components of a single organism.

Bacterial Staining Procedures Two variations in the acid-fast staining technique. 1. Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) Method - uses heat as part of the staining process. 2. Kinyoun (K) Method - a cold stain. *In both protocols the bacterial smear may be prepared in a drop of serum to help the slippery acid-fast cells adhere to the slide.

MICROBIOLOGY They are colored organic compounds used for staining microorganisms. Chemically, Stains= Benzene ring+ Chromophore+ Auxochrome. According to nature of stain, it can be classified into: 1. Acidic Dyes: It is dye which has negative charge so they bind to positively charged cell structures like some proteins. Acidic dyes are not very often used in Microbiology lab.except to provide background staining like Capsule staining.

- The Chen lab uses cryo electron microscopy along with in silico 3-D reconstruction techniques to create 3-D maps of biological macromolecular complexes. Using a variety of techniques and collaborations, we are studying both protein and RNA-based complexes to probe structural relationships further and further.

New Methods for Karyotyping The traditional process for karyotyping involves adding a dye to metaphasic chromosomes. Different dyes that affect different areas of the chomosomes are used for a range of identification purposes. The new karyotyping methods introduced by Schrock et al use fluorescent dyes that bind to specific regions of chromosomes. By using a series of specific probes each with varying amounts of the dyes, different pairs of chromosomes have unique spectral characteristics.

Objectives: The most widely used staining procedure in microbiology is the Gram stain, discovered by the Danish scientist and physician Hans Christian Joachim Gram in 1884. Gram staining is a differential staining technique that differentiates bacteria into two groups: gram-positives and gram-negatives.

Microscope Slide Staining Information Microscope Slide Staining Information. Microscope cell staining is a technique used to enable better visualization of cells and cell parts under the microscope. By using different stains, a nucleus or a cell wall are easier to view. Most stains can be used on non-living (fixed) cells, while only some types of stain can be used on living cells. Cells are primarily stained to enhance visualization of the cell or certain componenets. Cells are sometimes also stained to highlight metabolic processes or to differentiate between live and dead cells.

Chemistry Question..molar mass? Calculate the molar masses of Al2o3 and Na3AlF6. I have the answer for this question b/c it comes in my book but I would really like to know how to do this... show more Aluminum metal is produced by passing an electric current through a solution of aluminum oxide ( Al2o3), dissolved in molten cryolite (Na3AlF6). Calculate the molar masses of Al2o3 and Na3AlF6.

- To stain plant chromosomes, a 1% solution of carmine in 45% acetic acid is used. Freshly fixed material is transferred into 1% acetocarmine for at least 30 min and then analyzed by the squash method.

- Therefore, in order to precisely identify and delineate the regions of interest in an autoradiograph, a print of the digitized autoradiograph and an adjacent cell-body-stained section are superimposed by means of a microscope equipped with a drawing tube (Schleicher and Zilles, 1988; Zilles and Schleicher, 1995).

- A number of counterstains and counterstaining procedures are presented in the section Laboratory methods. Dyes for microscopy In histological sections, cellular structures are not significantly different to one another. Hence, dyes are used whenever defined intra-or extracellular elements have to be displayed.

Capsule Staining- Principle, Reagents, Procedure and Result 4.3/5  (253) Procedure of Capsule Staining. 1  Place a small drop of a negative stain (India Ink, Congo Red, Nigrosin, or Eosin) on the slide. Congo Red is easier to see, but it does not work well with some strains. 2  Using sterile technique, add a loopful of bacterial culture to slide, smearing it in the dye.

Endospore staining Within bacteria, endospores are quite protective structures used to survive extreme conditions, but this protective nature makes them difficult to stain using normal techniques. Special techniques for endospore staining include the Schaeffer–Fulton stain and the Moeller stain. good stain to use for spore staining is malachite green. It takes a long time for the spores to stain due to their density, so time acts as the mordant when doing this differential stain; the slide with the bacterium should be soaked in malachite green for at least 30 minutes.

- Return to the lab, gently rinse the slide with tap water and then decolorize the smears for 10-30 seconds with acid alcohol. Exercise care so that the smear is not over-decolorized. Gently rinse the slide with tap water. Apply the counter stain crystal violet for 30-45 seconds, gently rinse the slide and blot it dry.

Microbiology Lab Practice test Dr F Because of their tough protein coats made of keratin, spores are highly resistant to normal staining procedures. The primary stain in the endospore stain procedure, malachite green, is driven into the cells with heat. Since malachite green is water-soluble and does not adhere well to the cell, and since the vegetative cells have been disrupted by heat, the malachite green rinses easily from the vegetative cells, allowing them to readily take up the counterstain.

Modern Uses of Electron Microscopy for Detection of Viruses Negative Staining Negative staining is a rapid procedure used for viewing small particles, such as viruses, in fluids. For specimen processing, large particles (e.g., bacteria or cell debris) should be centrifuged out at a low speed (e.g., at ∼2,000 × g) for 3 to 5 min.
