Tissue Culture Microscope

One of the most important uses of deionised water is in the laboratory. May it be a chemical, microbiological, genetics and molecular biology, medical or Tissue Culture laboratory, water is an indispensable item inside the lab.
These are areas of science which call for the one of purest form of water available known as deionised water.
The process involved in deionising water is long and painstaking, ensuring that the end product is uncontaminated and free from impurities. It undergoes a five step process of filtration: organic trap, twin bed deionizer, mixed bed resin, Ultra Violet treatment, and filtration through a 0.02 micrometer pore size.
Organic impurities are filtered out first then the ions (cations and anions) are removed. At this point, water is deionised. However, there are still other impurities found in water and so water is subjected to an ultraviolet treatment to kill microorganisms. Another filtration through a mixed bed resin is used to remove any remaining impurities. Finally, water is filtered using a filter of a 0.02 pore size.
The end product is ideal for use in the laboratory wherein every single item must be in their purest form to come up with accurate results.
In the chemistry laboratory, it is used in preparing glass wares, utensils, and other tools. Normal or tap water usually has impurities present, such as fluorine and chlorine, which can influence the results of your chemistry experiments.
Deionised water is used to rinse glass wares, laboratory tools, as well as small and large apparatus used in the microbiological testing. It is also used as a solvent in media preparation and other microbiological procedures requiring water. Everything must be sterile inside the microbiology lab and every process must be done asceptically.
In a molecular biology lab, deionised water needs to undergo further filtration to be DNase or RNase-free to be deemed usable in this setting. Molecular biology and genetic experiments are particularly sensitive to impurities because of the need for an accurate and exact set of results. The standard error must be very slim indeed.
The same goes for a tissue culture laboratory, everything must be sterile and the processes must be asceptic. Deionised water is also used in media preparation as well as in the set-up of the needed items and equipment.
A medical laboratory processes clinical specimen of patients to obtain more information on his/her health. The physician can then make a better evaluation of the patient's health based on the results of a urine sample or a blood sample, for instance. Therefore, careful handling and preparation of the samples and the whole test are performed to ensure that the results are accurate. The proper diagnosis of a patient's health condition lay heavily on the results these tests will show.
Deionised water, however, must meet the standards for each type of laboratory since each also has a different need. Nonetheless, deionised water is already of a higher grade than tap water and it can be used for various laboratory preparations and procedures.
Aside from its crucial uses in the laboratory setting, deionised water is also used extensively in the food processing, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, electronics, and automotive industries. It has even found its use into your local carwash. Water is indeed a central ingredient in everything we do.

science reasearch culture, tissue samples?
Is there a place that sells living samples in petri dishes of human diseases such as cancer cells. I would like to view them under a microscope and try to find ways to destroy them. I am not a scientist or researcher. This is just something that interests me.
Thank You
ATCC is the main place researchers=scientists go when they purchase cell lines for most diseases. The people who generate new lines, such as cancer cell lines etc., will most likely donate them to this repository for all researchers to use. It costs money, from $250-500, for each cell line. If you are truly interested volunteer in a Research Lab, the reason for this is related to money. Most labs are always glad to get interested people to join them, even with no background in biology or science. This is the level where most scientists start out there career in college anyways.
Biology is extraordinarily expensive! Let's start with getting your lab up and running. The incubators, refridgerators, tissue culture hoods, and everything else you would need (all sterile) for only cell-culture run around $15,000 if you are good at negotiating. This does not include utilities, or set-up (air-filtration system, biohazard disposal etc.) for any of these large products ( 8ft tall, 8ft wide, 3ft deep, and up to 1,000lbs) and is just for Cell Culture. The running cost each month would be well over a thousand dollars. Next comes a good scope, easily $20,000 for a good disecting scope. Want fluorescent filters and a laser to do any kind of histology, up it to $50,000. Digital Camera? Add another few thousand. You need a computer to visualize your data, get a G5=$2,000+. Any real cell biology or molecular biology, another $5,000-$10,000 for reagents and some micropipets. Tack on about $2,000 for running monthly expenses as most things like pipet tips you cannot reuse and must be sterile. Centrifuges? You will need them for anything with molecular biology, another couple thousand dollars. You will need flammable storage and hazardous waste disposal method, plus a Fume Hood for some of this stuff. Add $5,000. Remember none of this includes powering all this crap 24/7.

Scale Laboratory
Jun/100
Scale Laboratory

This is essentially starvation. Your body needs a certain number of calories just to cover your basal metabolic rate (BMR) in order to function. This does NOT include daily activities, or intentional exercise. This number (usually you can hit the ballpark if you just take your weight and multiply it by 1000, or just add a zero to your weight in pounds, ex: if you weigh 120, then you should consume 1200 calories just to cover your BMR) is an indication of how much you should consume, just to cover living, breathing, or sitting on the couch. This is for basic human function. Eating has a thermic affect on the body.
If you choose to eat less, you will lose weight, but there are some other information you need arm yourself with in order to make sure it's the kind of weight you seek to lose. Here's what I mean.
If the scale says you weigh less, that does NOT necessarily mean you are doing the right thing.
Here's why.....
THE TRUTH: Eat less weigh less does 3 things:
1. You lose water.
2. You lose very little fat.
3. You lose lots of muscle.
Let me explain further.....
When starving several things happen:
- Your body goes for the metabolically active tissue - muscle.
- It goes into survival mode, and the way it survives is by eating your muscle--it stores fat because that's how it can survive the longest. Your remarkable body doesn't know that fat loss is your goal or what you're trying to do so it seeks for the way it will preserve itself the longest. It wants to help you survive your self-imposed starvation.
- In the meantime, your body continually catabolizes itself (muscle).
- If muscle is eliminated, then it can survive on fewer calories, preserving itself.
- Low-cal diets have no real lifetime affect-it makes you worse off in the long run. It catabolizes your muscle until your brain decides that you will provide it with the necessary nutrition it needs in order to stop feeding on your precious muscle.
- Your body goes into an unhealthy state, driving you to the quickest energy nutrients it needs to survive: FAT & SUGAR! This is a vicious cycle. Your job is to take yourself out of this cycle by first stop starving yourself, and second, ELIMINATE THE SUGAR!
Muscle is good!
o The scale cannot differentiate between fat, muscle, bone, water, the last meal you just ate, clothing, or your internal organs - it simply sums it all up and gives you the grand total. It is how much gravity is pulling on your body at that point and time. The method that gives you the most information is a body caliper test, or body fat test which determines your body fat percentage. This gives you the percentage of fat you have on your body so you can figure out your lean muscle mass. A healthy range for a woman would be between 18 - 23%, Men are between 12 - 15%. You want this number to be low, but your lean body mass (LBM) to be high. You want your body composed of as much LBM as possible.
o Muscle does not weigh more than fat. A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat. The difference is that muscle takes up far less space on the body than fat and is far more appealing than a pound of fat on your body.
o If you lose weight and the weight loss is primarily muscle, the "loss" will be short lived and unhealthy, provided that your goal is to maintain muscle which is the only site where fat can be burned from your body.
o If seeing the # rise on the scale is stressful to you, get rid of the scale. The muscle that you are working to feed and build will begin to do it's job by burning off the fat on your body. Build the muscle first! Then watch as the fat seems to effortlessly melt from your body.

Help finding the center of gravity given mass, length and force?
A biology laboratory at your university is studying the location of a person's center of gravity as a function of her or his body weight. They pay well and you decide to volunteer. The location of your center of gravity when standing erect is to be determined by having you lie on a uniform board (mass of 5.00 kg, length 2.00 m) supported by two scales, as shown in the figure. If your height is 190 cm and the left scale reads 430 N while the right scale reads 355 N, where is your center of gravity relative to your feet? Assume the scales are both exactly the same distance from the two ends of the board, are separated by 176 cm, and are set to each read zero before you get on the platform.
