Blue stain in catheter leg bags is often caused by the presence of certain bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can produce blue-green pigments. Additionally, the use of certain medications, such as methylene blue, or dyes can also contribute to discoloration. The staining may indicate infection or contamination, necessitating prompt medical attention to prevent complications. Regular maintenance and hygiene practices can help minimize such occurrences.

Why does the solution of water and sugar move up the straw in a tied baggie when put in water?
Osmotic pressure. The concentration in the bag is greater than outside the bag. Sugar molecules cannot pass thru the bag but water can. To try to create the same concentration inside and outside the bag water moves into the bag to dilute the solution inside the bag. This extra water now in the bag causes the liquid to move up the straw.

How does iodine stain starch?
Starch is composed of polymers of glucose. Long linear chains are called amylose. Amylopectin is similar but contains a branch point about every 25th glucose or so.Amylose coils into a helical secondary structure resembling a tube with a hollow core. Certain molecules including fatty acids and iodine can lodge inside the core. The complex of iodine lodged inside the amylose tube produces a characteristic blue-black color. The starch itself is not altered, and the staining can be reversed.This is a very sensitive method, used industrially in the starch processing industry, to detect starch and starch fragments. Levels down to 10 ppm can be quantitated using a spectrophotometer to measure A620.However, Iodine is a "metachromatic" stain, meaning it is a single stain that can stain different things different colors. For example: Although Amylose in corn starch stains bluish (actually a sort of blue with a reddish-purple tent), Amylopectin type starches stain a completely different color, sort of a reddish-brown. Tapioca starches stain a more true blue color. Additionally, high amylose type starches stain a shade of pink (when viewed using a polarized microscope, with cross-polarizers in place). Therefore, it is a mistake to think that "all starches" stain a bluish color.Additionally, varying the concentration of the stain, relative to a given amount of starch, can vary the intensity of the staining result. Less stain produces a lighter shade of the expected color, and vice-versa. And the best Iodine stain is actually a blend of Iodine crystals and Potassium Iodide in water.CheapIodine.com is a great source for Iodine.
When you remove your woolsuit from the dry cleaner's garment bag becomes positively charged?
The physical act of separating the bag from the suit mechanically strips electrons off the bag. The electrons remain on the suit leaving it negatively charged whereas some of the atoms that are part of the bag are now missing their electrons and hence the bag has a net positive charge. The magnitude of charge on the bag and suit are equal but opposite as must be the case since charge is conserved.
