Why is the loop heated before it is used to transfer bacteria?

The inoculating loop should be heated until it is hot enough to turn red, and then allowed to cool for a couple seconds. This ensures that the heat kills the majority of lingering bacteria before or after use.


Why must it e flamed after making an inoculation?

We use to flame the inoculating loop after inoculation because during inoculation many bacterial cell get attached to loop which can further contaminate the inoculation of other cells so to destroy the previous sticked celled it is necessary to flame burn the loop


What is streak dilution plate technique?

"dilute" is not really the right word for it but... A proper streaking method (4 streaks total recommended but some hospital policy prefer 3) can separate and isolate the clinically significant bacteria (the one who makes the patient sick). With each streak, the used metal loop must be incinerated or a used plastic loop should be thrown away AND the streaking lines should have space to each other(except the 1st streak) to ensure the none of the flora are being isolated or else getting the correct results will be difficult.


What are the other inoculating instruments aside from needle?

Some other inoculating instruments include loops, spreaders, swabs, and pipettes. These tools are used to transfer and spread microorganisms onto various growth media for cultivation and observation in laboratory settings.


What is the safety symbol for flammable?

The safety symbol for flammable materials is a red diamond with a flame symbol inside. This symbol indicates that the substance is highly flammable and caution must be taken when handling it.

Why must pay attention to how flame loop?

because it can burn you or the microorganism will not be killed

What are the conditions of oscillations?

You must have a feedback loop, the loop gain must be equal to unity (1), and there must be 0 or integer multiple of 360 degrees.


Why is the loop allowed to cool before putting it into the bacterial culture?

Because too much heat can kill bacteria. Think of pasteurised milk - the pasteurising process involves rapid heating and cooling to kill off any bacteria that might be present in the milk.


Why is it required a clean wire loop in order to observe a spectrum?

Classic Wire Loop MethodFirst, you need a clean wire loop. Platinum or nickel-chromium loops are most common. They may be cleaned by dipping in hydrochloric or nitric acid, followed by rinsing with distilled or deionized water. Test the cleanliness of the loop by inserting it into a gas flame. If a burst of color is produced, the loop is not sufficiently clean. The loop must be cleaned between tests.The clean loop is dipped in either a powder or solution of an ionic (metal) salt. The loop with sample is placed in the clear or blue part of the flame and the resulting color is observed.Wooden Splint or Cotton Swab MethodWooden splints or cotton swabs offer an inexpensive alternative to wire loops. To use wooden splints, soak them overnight in distilled water. Pour out the water and rinse the splints with clean water, being careful to avoid contaminating the water with sodium (as from sweat on your hands). Take a damp splint or cotton swab that has been moistened in water, dip it in the sample to be tested, and wave the splint or swab through the flame. Do not hold the sample in the flame as this would cause the splint or swab to ignite. Use a new splint or swab for each test.


What type of bacteria must have oxygen to live?

Aerobic bacteria must have oxygen to live.


Why is it essential for the wire loop to be clean?

The scope is to avoid interferences between different metals.


What causes bacterial pneumonia?

Dozens of different bacteria can cause bacterial pneumonia.


Does flame ogre require tributes?

You must tribute 2 monsters to summon one Flame Ogre.


Can you Normal Summon 'Flame Ogre'?

Flame Ogre cannot be special summoned, so Flame Ogre must be Normal Summoned - or Set, then Flip Summoned.
