Staining of Microorganism: Negative Staining, Simple Staining, Differential Staining, Simple Staining, Endospore Staining, Lactophenol cotton blue mounting

Introduction: The microbial cells are very small and transparent in nature, so it is very difficult to observe them under microscope. Staining is uses in order to understand the structure and chemical nature of microorganism and make visible. Thus, staining is the method of artificially coloring microorganism to allow it to visualize under the microscope. […]

Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy: Introduction, components, mechanism, Side effects

Introduction: It is a type of cancer immunotherapy treatment that controls the ability of T cells (an immune cells) to detect and target specific antigen-expressing cells, including cancer cells. Moreover, this treatment involves genetic engineering of the T-cells of a patient to recognize and in order to attack cancer cells accordingly. In fact, the engineered

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR): Introduction, Principle, Instrumentation, Applications

Introduction: FT-IR is the preferred method of infrared spectroscopy. In infrared spectroscopy, IR radiation is passed through a sample in which some of the infrared radiation is absorbed by the sample while other are passed through transmitted. Principle: Instrumentation: The source Glowing black body is mainly source for the emission of infrared energy. This beam

Mass spectrometry (MS): Introduction, Principle, Instrumentation, Applications

Introduction: It is an analytical tool which is used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of one or more molecules present in an analyte sample. Eventually, the measurement can be applied to calculate the molecular weight of the sample to quantify known compounds, and to determine structure and chemical properties of molecules. The preference for the term “mass

Sterilization Techniques: Introduction, Physical and Chemical method, Applications

Introduction: Microorganisms are ubiquitous. Microbes grow and multiply under favorable conditions. In laboratory, for the purposes of study, they are allowed to grow and multiply. So, it always becomes necessary to remove or destroy microbes from materials or from areas because they are responsible for causing contamination, decay, and infection. This is the main object

Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy (ESR): Introduction, Principle, Instrumentation, Applications

Introduction: It is a technique which us the spring property of an electron which are in resonance.  It is based on the paramagnetic behavior of an electron which are in resonance. All molecules have an atom and every atom have a nucleus. Every nucleus contains proton and neutron. Neutron is neutral and proton is positively

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS): Introduction, Principle, Instrumentation, Applications

Introduction: It is an analytical technique used to determine the concentration of certain elements, metal atoms/ions in given sample. Metals which consist of 75% of earth chemical elements sometime also make a content as a contaminant in several components (mine. Foods, water, etc) Therefore, this technique uses the principle in which atoms (and ions) can

Extrachromosomal Inheritance: Introduction, Plastid inheritance, Mitochondrial Inheritance, Maternal effect

Introduction: The genes of nuclear chromosome have different roles in inheritance, cellular metabolism, development and mutation of the organism in which they occur. The gens of nuclear chromosomes have a significant and key role in the inheritance of almost all characters from one generation to other generation. However, they alone cannot be considered as the
