Indicators of a positive PPD (purified protein derivative) test for tuberculosis include a raised bump or hardened area at the injection site on the skin. The size of this reaction is measured after 48-72 hours and is considered positive if it exceeds a certain diameter, typically 5-15mm depending on the individual's risk factors. A positive PPD test suggests exposure to the bacteria that causes tuberculosis but does not confirm active disease; further testing is needed for diagnosis.

How do you test colourless solution?
To test a colorless solution, you can use chemical indicators or spectrophotometry. Chemical indicators can change color in the presence of specific substances, providing a visual indication of a reaction. Spectrophotometry measures the absorption or transmission of light by the solution at different wavelengths, allowing for the identification of compounds even if they are colorless.
How do you prepare indicators frum plants?
To prepare indicators from plants, you can crush or grind the plant material and extract the pigment using a solvent like ethanol or water. The extracted solution can then be used to test for specific pH ranges by observing color changes in the presence of acids or bases. Some common plant-based indicators include red cabbage, turmeric, and beets.
Both glucose and starch are considered carbohydrates. Why are two separate test procedures and indicators necessary?
Glucose and starch are both carbohydrates but differ in structure and chemistry; glucose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide), while starch is a complex carbohydrate (polysaccharide). Consequently, they require different test procedures and indicators to detect their presence. The Benedict's test is used for glucose, which reacts with reducing sugars, while the iodine test is specific for starch, changing color when it interacts with the helical structure of starch molecules. Thus, the distinct chemical properties necessitate separate testing methods.
