When to use needle not the loop to inoculate?
An inoculating loop has a small circular ring at its tip and is used to collect cultures that are based in liquid. On the other hand, an inoculating needle can extract microorganisms from solid or dense material so they can be transferred to another location like a petri dish.
What are the uses of the Inoculating Loop?
Inoculating loops are used to transfer microorganisms to growth media or for staining slides. They are an important part of the sterile technique as their use permits transfer only of the material of interest.
What is used to transfer bacteria to make the smear?
To transfer bacteria for making a smear, a sterile inoculating loop or a sterile swab is typically used. The loop or swab is dipped into a culture of bacteria and then gently streaked or spread onto a microscope slide. This process helps create a thin, even layer of bacteria for microscopic examination. Proper aseptic techniques are essential to avoid contamination.
Why does stroking a needle with a magnet make it magnetic?
Stroking a needle with a magnet aligns the magnetic domains in the needle material in the same direction, causing the needle to become magnetized. This alignment of domains creates a magnetic field in the needle, giving it magnetic properties.
Why should Nichrome or other iron-containing inoculating devices be used in the oxidase test?
Nichrome or iron-containing inoculating devices are preferred in the oxidase test because they do not interfere with the redox reactions involved in the test. These materials are inert and do not produce false positives or negatives, ensuring accurate results. Additionally, their durability and resistance to corrosion make them suitable for repeated use in laboratory settings. Using non-reactive inoculating devices helps maintain the integrity of the test and the reliability of the outcomes.
Why did you use an inoculating loop instead of a needle to make the transfers from the culture plates to the culture tubes?
A inoculating loop is used for transfers from culture plates to culture tubes instead of the inoculating needle because the needle could puncture the agar in tube. The loop is much easier as well to get liquid amount into the tube.
Why do you use an inoculating loop instead of a needle to make the transfer from the culture plates to the culture tubes?
Because the solid media is more dense over a smaller area so a inoculating needle is used to retrieve the specimen. Where as for a liquid medium the specimen is more spread out over the liquid. The inoculating loop can collect more liquid because there is more metal present at the inoculating specimen retrieval point and has the ability to collect liquid in the loop. I'm currently taking general microbiology and my lab book hardly covers this. A.C.

How would you make sure a inoculating loop was sterile?
To sterilize an inoculating loop, it can be flamed until it turns red hot. This process helps to kill any microorganisms that might be present. It is essential to allow the loop to cool before using it to avoid damaging the culture or injuring oneself.

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.
What does make 1 front mean in knitting?
One front is an increase stitch done this way: Pick up the horizontal strand with the left needle from front to back between the last stitch worked on the right needle and the next stitch to be worked on the left needle. Then, insert the right needle into the back of the loop, and knit it.
How do you fix having one too many stitches on your needle when knitting?
The more complicated method is to tear out the row and reknit the row. If you have knitted a few rows, and you see the project getting wider, knit two stitches together. Depending on the type of yarn, you may not even be able to see the mistake. Knitting two stitches together, may make an unveven, or hole appearance in the work, but it will prevent the project from getting wider.
How do you make an improvised apparatus?
The television show McGiver was about a young man that was great at taking everyday objects to make into other devices. When you make an improvised apparatus, you McGiver it.
How do you cast on when beginning to knit?
There are dozens of ways to cast on. Go to knittinghelp.com and you can see videos of a couple different ways to do it.There are a whole bunch of ways to knit, I recommend taking the yarn, twisting it around your hand and placing it on the needle, this is one of the fastest ways.[Edit by rawlimario] The fastest way I find to cast on is to create a slip knot, place that on your needle and then continue on as if you were to knit.
How do you make improvised stethoscope?
Very, very carefully.
How to you make improvised measuring pipette?
