Why should a petri dish not be left open for any extended period?
Other bacteria and germs could contaminate the contents in the dish. The dish is meant to isolate a subject in an experiment so one can study it. While in the dish, one can control the reactions by putting in what they want in the dish. If the dish is left open, then one will be studying the contaminates and will not get accurate results from their experiment.
Does blood change color because of temperature?
It can thin slightly in hotter temperatures and conversely thicken in colder temperatures. Blood is red and there may be very slight differences in colour in these cases but it would not be really noticeable.
Will demoral show up on a urine drug screen?
Demerol. And yes, it will. Demerol is an opioid -- a synthetic opiate, much as is Vicodin. Half life is not long but the metabolites remain for longer, and elimination depends on your liver and renal function. Bear in mind if you have a prescription, you're golden.
What will give a false positive on ETG urine test?
The ETG test is not a reliable test for the presence of alcohol a person consumes. This urine test has been notorious for false positives that occur to incidental exposure to ethanol, and even bacteria.
What does color pale straw in urine indicate in Urinalysis?
low quantity of water in the body
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>
Actually, straw and pale straw are the colors of normal urine. So if the urine color is different from these-- then there must be something wrong inside your body.
Anemia is a deficiency disease caused due to iron deficiency. The symptoms are: 1. Getting tired easily. 2. Losing appetite.3. Looking pale.
Can you drink some wine if you are having the drug capacitabina?
It is not recommended to drink alcohol while taking drug capacitabina as it may increase the risk of side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, or impaired coordination. It is best to consult with a healthcare provider for specific advice on alcohol consumption while taking this medication.
What are the procedures for a urine test?
the employee goes to a collection site. urine is collected in a specially designed secure cup and sealed with a tamper-resistant tape. The employee inspects and initials the cup, indicating that it was sealed in front of him or her. The cup is then sent by express delivery service to a drug testing laboratory where it will be tested for several drugs. The first step at the testing site is to split the urine into two aliquots. One aliquot is first screened for drugs using an analyzer that performs immunoassay as the initial screen. If the urine screen's positive then another aliquot of the sample is used to confirm the findings by gas chromatography - masspectroscopy (GC-MS) methodology. All test results a relayed to an MRO where a medical physician reviews the results. If the result of the drug screen is negative, the MRO informs the employer that the employee is clean and has no detectable drug in the urine. However, if the drug test result of the immunoassay and GC-MS are positive, the MRO contacts the employee and tries to determine if there is any legitimate reason for the employee to have a positive result such as a medical treatment or prescription. If it is determined that the positive result is truly due to drug use, the MRO then informs the employer of the positive result. Statistics show that about 5% of the urine samples tested in the U.S. turn out positive for drugs. The employer may contract the service of the various components by itself, or in most cases, it would outsource the entire process. With the improvement in the accuracy of on-site test devices (notably the lateral flow test devices), an increasing number of collection sites are running the tests themselves instead of sending the samples to the laboratory for analysis. In this new scenario, the employee goes to the collection site where the urine is collected and tested by the collection site staff using an on-site test device. The results are known within minutes. If the results are negative, the employee is notified.
How long does blue cohosh take before it take affect?
I took it with my daughter at 36 weeks and my water broke the next day. It was hard to tell if it was from the blue cohosh of if she was just ready. Be sure to use a small amount. I used one dropper.

You drank 6 three-point beers 10 hours ago will you pass a urine test?
Alcohol must be metabolized by the liver prior to exiting the body. A healthy liver can process about one ounce, or roughly one drink, of alcohol per hour. Excess alcohol waiting to be metabolized remains in the bloodstream. A pint of 5% beer has 2.8 ounces of alcohol in it. Six beers of this concentration and size would take about 12 hours to metabolize. Persons who are heavy drinkers will require more time to clear their system than those who only have an occasional drink. There are factors that will affect metabolism. Weight, age, sex, stress levels, natural metabolic rate, recent meals, the type and strength of the alcohol consumed, and medication taken can all alter liver metabolism. Blood alcohol levels may also continue to rise even after alcoholic intake has ceased. To be sure of passing a urine screen, experts suggest abstaining at least 1-2 full days before the test.
Which is the most virulent bacteria?
Clostridium Botulinum - This is the most dangerous of all the bacteria. About 200 grams of the toxin would be enough to kill the entire population of the world.
It grows where there is no oxygen and a low quantity of acid and can be found on badly canned food. In such conditions the bacteria produce toxin which, if eaten, gives you a food poisoning called botulism. When food is canned, it is heated to temperatures that destroy the bacteria. Botulism is extremely rare, but you should avoid cans which are damaged in any way. The toxin from it can be very fatal.
Will non alcoholic beers register in an ETG test?
Yes. So-called non-alcoholic beer actually contain one-half of one percent alcohol. However, that is enough to register in an EtG test.
ETG tests detects ethanol alcohol that was ingested within the past three or four days, or roughly 80 hours after the ethanol alcohol has been metabolized by the body.
What are some abnormal urinalysis results and describe them?
These are all screening test, but not confirmation test. Red, cloudy urine means hematuria (blood in the urine) Red, clear urine means hemaglobinuria (hemaglobin in the urine. Dark reddish brown cola-colored urine means Myoglobinuria (myoglobin in the urine) Beer-brown-colored urine means indicative of bilirubin Dark red like port wine-colored urine means porphyrins (iron pigment). Very turbid urine means pyuria (Abnormal numbers of white blood cells in the urine) Orange Urine means the patient consume a lot of beta-carotene. Black to Dark brown urine means Alkaptonuria (melanin or homogentisic acid in the urine) Huge amount of urine means polyuria and may have type I/II diabetes High bilirubin levels in urine means hepatitis/jaundice High urobilinogen level in urine means excessive destruction of Red blood cells or patient have infectious mononucleosis. Low / No Urobilinogen and High Bilirubin in urine with high levels of bilirubin in the blood means Obstruction of Bile ducts/Obstructive jaundice Urine positive for Ketones means diabetic ketoacidosis, the patient is diabetic or having a crash diet. High glucose level in urine means lack of control of the diabetes High glucose level and normal blood sugar level means lowered renal threshold. Marked High Protein level in the urine means Nephrotic syndrome, Renal vein thrombosis, Amyloid disease, Lupus erythematosus. (4 gms/day) High protein level and heated at 100 C becomes normal/low protein level means multiple myeloma/macroglobulinemia. There are more informations if you bought the urinalysis book.
Can your father and mother have Rh positive factor and you be Rh negative?
YES. Maybe both of your parents are half-Rh positive, but not a full-blown Rh positive. Your parents will have 25% chances of getting a Rh negative offspring (Out of 4 children, only 1 become Rh negative)
This comes true in our family. Both myself and my husband are Rh positive and our kid (3 years) is Rh negative. My blood group is B+ve, and my husband is A1B+ve and our kid is A1-ve.
What does it mean when a urine test states you have high urine content?
If you mean like high amount of urine: Polyuria. If you mean like high amount of particles inside the urine: High specific gravity = your urine may have high levels of glucose, protein, bilirubin, urobilinogen, or/and a lot of mucus, crystals, bacteria, and tissue/blood cells.
It may indicate that this patient have digestive problems usually involving pancreas or gallbladder. Cholecystokinin (CCK) will act as stimulation of secretion of digestive biles and enzymes to digest fat and protein. CCK can also reduce the patient's hunger.
What does that mean if you MCH test is high?
That is not possible. There is something wrong with your results. Tell your MLT/MT to rerun your CBC/MCH test. Spherocytes can cause MCH/MCHC to go high, but it is impossible. Spherocyte is a small red blood cell that have no central pallor
Vibrio fischeri is a gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium found globally in the marine environments. It has bioluminescent properties, and is found predominantly in symbiosis with various marine animals, such as the bobtail squid. It is heterotrophic and moves by means of flagella. Free living V. fischeri survive on decaying organic matter (see saprotroph). The bacterium is a key research organism for examination of microbial bioluminescence, quorum sensing, and bacterial-animal symbiosis.
What is the principle of agar diffusion method?
The principle of agar diffusion method is based on the diffusion of an antimicrobial agent from a sample into an agar medium containing a test organism. The size of the zone of inhibition that forms around the sample is used to determine the effectiveness of the antimicrobial agent against the test organism.
Will Novocaine show up in urine screen?
Novocaine is a form of anaesthesia commonly used in dentistry. It will show up on urine screens, often mistaken for cocaine.
EDTA prevents clotting of blood by chelating calcium. If a certain blood test requires the blood to be unclotted, this is often used. It is the anticoagulant (chemical that prevents blood from clotting) of choice for most hematology tests.
In blood cell counts (including Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, and platelets) - EDTA is the preferred anticoagulant. If flow cytometry is needed on blood, it must be unclotted (collected in a tube that has no anticoagulatn)- CD4 counts are tested in this way.
If a test needs to identify something in specific cells, e.g. HIV DNA in lymphocytes, then the cells can't be part of a clot, so unclotted blood is used.
If plasma is required for a test, EDTA blood may be used (althought EDTA may not be appropriate for some plasma-based tests). Plasma is the liquid part of the blood without cells that has not clotted. Serum is the liquid part of the blood once the clot has formed. Some tests can use both, while other tests need one or the other.
yellow color in a luminous flame produces soot or carbon. carbon dioxide is present in the luminous flame but when its combined with oxygen the flame is nonluminous which is in a blue color. it takes a longer time because luminous flame is cooler than the nonluminous.
I only know what luminous flame is.
The inner part of luminous flame is blue while the outer part of the luminous flame is yellow. It is unsteady. Yeah. Carbon Dioxide is only present in the luminous flame. When oxygen is combined with the flame, the flame will become non- luminous which is inner and outer part are blue.
Hmm. Actually luminous flame's hottest part is at the bottom while non- luminous flame hottest part is at the middle and the top. That's all i know. If i know more, i will update for you. Thank you! By helpingppl
How long does it take the liver to process alcohol?
On average, the liver metabolizes about one standard drink (equivalent to one beer, one glass of wine, or one shot of distilled spirits) per hour. However, this can vary based on factors such as body weight, metabolism, and the individual's liver health.
