∙ 13y agomethylene blue test is basically a rapid method be determined the microbial load .
First of all it is require to sterilize all the equipments related to the experiment such as pipette, rubber cork, test tube etc. Then in each test tube methylene blue is added. After that those are incubated. then place them in water bath and after half an hour test tubes are taken out and filled with the sample. then again place them in water bath.Repeat this for a while. Note the reduction time of each test tubes. then you get the result of all sample you put in the test tubes

∙ 11y agoMethylene Blue is used as a stain to see various organelles clearly, especially the nucleus and effectively used for general microscopic study of plant (like onion skin or root hairs) and some animal tissues. The stain has a very low toxicity which keeps cell alive and as such is considered a "vital" stain.

What is the function on bile in Eosin Methylene Blue agar?
To make the Eosin Methylene BLue Agar look cool and hip.
What function of emb agar?
function of eosin methylene blue agar (EMB)
Why is methylene blue used as an indicator of cell respiration?
because methylene blue turns colourless when it is reduced by hydrogen. during respiration hydrogen is produced and instead of reducing NAD, it reduces methylene blue and turns methylene blue colourless. if methylene blue goes from blue to colourless then this shows that the cell is respiring as it is producing a suffiecient amount of hydrogen to decolourise methylene blue
What is the function of methylene blue in spectrophotometry?
Methylene blue is used as an indicator for the presence of certain Ions such as the presence of HS - ion. spectrophotometry is used once the methylene blue has reacted to determine the quantity of said ion based on the intensity of blue that the reacion produces. Using a spectrophotometer you can determine the intensity and compare it with a set scale that has been calibrated with known concentrations of this ion.
What is the function methylene blue solution in the preparation of cheek cells slide?
Methylene Blue, in this situation, is being used as a microscopy stain. Microscopy stains are used to allow for particular characteristics of cells to be observed in greater detail or to make them easier to see.

What is the function of methylene blue solution on polluted water samples?
Polluted water sample will decolorize the methylene blue solution faster than a pure water sample.
What is the behavior of methylene blue towards the animal charcoal?
